Perilla Leaf Herbal Tea Zi Su Yin 100g Cold Brew Summer Wellness Drink 20 Sachets

Perilla Leaf Herbal Tea, known in TCM as Zi Su Yin (紫苏饮), is a ready-to-brew blend of Perilla frutescens leaf, dried tangerine peel (Chen Pi, Citrus reticulata), licorice root (Gan Cao, Glycyrrhiza uralensis), and rock sugar. In TCM theory, perilla leaf is pungent and warm and is traditionally associated with releasing the exterior and moving qi, while tangerine peel and licorice are traditionally used to regulate qi and harmonize the blend. Each 5g sachet steeps quickly in hot or cold water for a refreshing seasonal herbal drink.

Traditional Uses

In Chinese folk practice, perilla leaf tea is a classic summer household drink, especially during San Fu, the hottest period of the year. Traditionally, perilla is paired with tangerine peel and licorice to make a light decoction or infusion that families sip chilled to refresh the body and support comfortable digestion in humid weather. Rock sugar rounds the flavor, making it a pleasant everyday herbal beverage rather than a medicinal preparation.
