Begin Your Journey
Perilla is a shape-shifter – at once a culinary leaf, a fragrant herb, and a thread through East Asian plant traditions. Known as shiso, zisu, tia to, and purple mint, it brings brightness to the table and calm to the senses.
These hand-dried leaves hold a fresh, layered aroma – somewhere between mint, basil, and wild green – ready to unfold in your tea, your dish, your ritual.
A Ritual in Every Leaf
Brewed into a tea, perilla offers a gentle, grassy lift – cooling and light, with the quiet clarity of a morning breeze. As a culinary herb, it adds color and complexity to soups, rice dishes, salads, and summer noodles. Sprinkle it where your food needs freshness, or where your day calls for small delight.
How to Embrace This Herb
• Infuse 1 tsp in hot water for a refreshing herbal tisane
• Sprinkle over rice, roasted vegetables, or cold noodle dishes
• Blend into marinades, dressings, or salt mixes
• Use in herbal tea blends with mint, tulsi, or lemon balm
