Ume Shiso from Rishi Tea

Ume Shiso

Green Herbal Blend by Rishi Tea

Red shiso leaf is a classic ingredient in Japanese cuisine and has a slightly tart and fruity flavor. Used in pickled plums and a host of other dishes, the unique character of red shiso gives this signature Rishi blend a naturally fruity flavor reminiscent of sweet Japanese plum wine. We developed a unique drying process and blending technique that captures the fresh essence of red shiso without the use of added flavors.

Ingredients: roasted green tea and red shiso leaves. / Origin: Japan.

Great desert tea or afternoon tea. Love the sweetness of the shisho which only adds to the green tea and doesn’t overpower it. Good one to serve to guests after dinner.

Love the way this smells. The shiso takes a little getting used to, but I like this more every time I drink it.
