When you pick up a bag of herbs from Lhasa Karnak, the label is simple — just our logo, the herb’s name, and the size of your order. No glossy branding, no fine print. And that’s exactly the point.
In a world full of crowded packaging, simplicity means trust. It tells you that what matters most is inside the bag — the plant itself. Every order has already been measured by hand, weighed on an in-store scale, and packed fresh for you by someone who works directly with the jars every day.
What our minimal label doesn’t say, but every customer should know:
-
Each herb has been checked for quality when sourced and again before it’s sold.
-
It was weighed to order, often in small quantities to ensure turnover and freshness.
-
It was sealed by hand, not by machine, right here in Berkeley.
You might also notice differences in texture or cut between herbs — whole leaf, cut & sifted, bark, root, or powder. These aren’t random; they reflect how the plant is best prepared. Roots and barks tend to be coarser for simmering decoctions, while flowers and leaves are finer for quick infusions.
We don’t list every detail on the label because most of our customers prefer conversation over fine print. If you ever have a question — about sourcing, use, or storage — our staff can walk you through the shelf, the plant, and the story behind it.
Every Lhasa Karnak label is a quiet promise: what you’re holding has been chosen, handled, and packed with care by real people who know their herbs. It’s not marketing — it’s tradition.
