Product Specifications

An Earthy, Aromatic Infusion

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is best known for its unmistakable earthy, woody fragrance. As a loose-leaf infusion, the dried leaves brew a distinctive caffeine-free cup with a garden-fresh, herbaceous character — an intriguing choice for tea drinkers who enjoy bold, aromatic herbs and like to experiment with their own blends.

Plant & Origin

Patchouli is a bushy, aromatic perennial herb in the mint (Lamiaceae) family, native to tropical Southeast Asia and widely grown across Indonesia, India, and southern China. It grows to around 60–100 cm tall, with soft, slightly furry, oval leaves that carry the plant’s signature scent — the aroma deepens as the leaves are dried. Long prized for its fragrance across the region, patchouli’s dried leaves also make a bold, characterful herbal cup.
