Sweetness

The baseline — reach for it when you need a neutral, predictable sweet profile and no flavor complication.

Pure sucrose (50% glucose + 50% fructose). Moderate GI despite perception — fructose half blunts the spike. Zero nutrients. High daily intake linked to metabolic syndrome. Not suitable for diabetics as a free-choice sweetener.

The Story

Quiet herbal depth that makes people ask what's different about this drink. That's the thyme.
