Perilla, Heart Leaf and Mesona Herbal Tea

We have wanted for a while to expand our herbal tea section and we where lucky enough to visit a garden in Taoyuan that has been growing different herbal teas for years. This set of herbal teas is a mix of flavors and traditions and we are curious to see what everyone thinks of them. All three of these plants have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years but we make NO medical claims about their effects even though there have been many peer reviewed studies about them.
