About the shorkk infusion collection

olive leaf infusion

The dried souri olive leaves, a variety of olives native to the eastern Mediterranean, are grown in Beino, north of Lebanon. Their active compound oleuropein is said to help lower blood pressure and boost your immune system.

Infuse for 7-8 minutes, and reuse the leaves for 2 more cups.

aromatic saffron 

Occasionally we add a few strands to cup of olive leaf infusion. While Saffron is thought of as a natural antidepressant, we enjoy the distinctive flavour with the gentle olive leaf infusion.

Before making a risotto alla Milanese we infuse the saffron, sometimes ground, before adding to the rice and stock. For an easy pudding try our recipe for lemon and saffron posset.

the shorkk tote

Photographed by Safia Shakarchi at the Souk el Salam in June 2024, we were pleased that the shorkk tote was a hit with customers supporting this fund raising event. 

Our first project with the sewing team at Tahaddi, Lebanon we have a soft spot for this sturdy bag with understated style.
