Last week we have received 6.5kg of Shiso leaves from an urban garden and a farm in the Leipzig region. The weight is after we removed the stems.

We produced around 37L of Shiso syrup this week 😁The syrup was packed in more than 100 of 250ml and 500ml bottles.
It may not sound much but it was a lot to do and to learn for us as it was our first production at scale ... many things were different from previous small productions of 10-20 sample bottles with Shiso from our garden.
Simply washing Shiso and removing them from stems took time 💦 Our bottling process was manual and not efficient ... for this process we will introduce a machine for the next batch 😉
Learning by doing, we will improve our process. That's a project, that's a startup 💪💪💪
