Zi Su Yin Tea Bags (Perilla frutescens) — Herbal Blend with Licorice & Tangerine Peel

Zi Su Yin Tea Bags (Perilla frutescens) are triangular herbal tea bags built around Zi Su Ye (紫苏叶), the dried leaf of a classic food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zǐ Sū (紫苏). Blended with licorice (Gān Cǎo, 甘草), tangerine peel (Jú Pí, 橘皮), and rock sugar, this warm-infusion blend has been prized as a gentle, aromatic herb used in seasonal teas to support the body's natural balance during the humid, hot days of San Fu (三伏天). Its nature is warm and pungent, making it a light yet comforting herb for dispersing and harmonizing.
