Featuring striking magenta-purple stems and narrow pointed green leaves, our Thai Basil delivers an assertive, liquorice-scented punch that holds its fragrance through high-heat wok cooking and simmering in aromatic coconut broths.

Grown in protected highland tunnels to guarantee uniform leaf coloration and structural integrity, each bunch is hand-graded for stem rigidity and vibrant purple bracts.
