It's back! This seasonal shrub is fresh purple perilla leaves and rhubarb. 

First up - what is shiso?

Perilla is a perennial herb from Eastern Asia that grows easily and abundantly around us here in Northern New South Wales. There are many different names for it, but in Japan it is known as shiso.

Used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, it's rich in calcium, iron, omegas, antioxidants and contains up to 10X the amount of carotenes as pumpkin. It’s also anti-inflammatory, improving immune function and supporting the respiratory system specifically, traditionally used in congestive ailments and asthma.

As a member of the mint family, it offers digestive support and stimulant. It’s found traditionally as a condiment to protein based meals, and relieves indigestion.

💗 We are so excited to have this seasonal favourite back in stock for you. 

What does it taste like?

It's hard to explain but shiso tastes a bit like cinnamon, clove, tarragon and mint yet nothing like that at all. Blended with tart and tangy rhubarb this shrub is bright, fresh, aromatic, fruity and delightfully unusual. It's also the softest peachy pink colour.

How to use

Mix 35ml of shrub with 200ml of sparkling water or soda water and ice for a refreshing, aromatic botanical soda.

Ingredients

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Fresh Rhubarb, Local Sugar, Fresh Shiso Herb.

This refreshing shrub is one of my absolute favourites of the Pyewackets collection. It’s so easy on your tummy, it’s delicious and it just feels so good for you. It’s fresh and just has the right hint of yummy sweet with the rhubarb flavour. Definitely one to try 🙂🌱♥️

This is my favourite flavour of shrub at the moment. I can't get enough of it. I've been moving house....which is always hard work. This has been the shrub I have been reaching for to quench my thirst. I adore this flavour sooooo much

Lovely seasonal treat.

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this seasonal brew, but love the flavour balance, with the hint of rhubarb. Will definitely order more when it’s available.

Sophisticated & delicious

I feel like I'm in heaven when I drink the Shiso Rhubarb shrub. It's an adult flavour that satisfies my 5pm aperitif cravings for something more complex than a glass of water. My biggest worry is that it's a limited edition, that's why we keep buying it in quick succession before it goes again for another season.

Delicious!

This shrub is absolutely delicious! A bit sweeter than some of the others I’ve tasted (in a most excellent way)- it’s the one I’ve been reaching for from the fridge.

Thanks so much for writing a review Karen. Love to hear the unusual shiso is stealing your attention.
