Mihirasa

Our Story

‘Mihirasa’ literally translates from Sinhala into ‘tastes of the earth’. We started this business to celebrate and introduce fascinating aspects of South Asian culture (and Sri Lankan culture in particular).

Our health products are derived from Hela (Ancient Sri Lankan) and Ayurvedic traditions to boost the immunity of the body and are produced from chemical-free plants. They include traditional rice varieties as well as special porridge drinks. Please check out our Healthy Food section for more interesting details and articles about natural foods that help to preserve and nourish your body.  

Mihirasa

Our spices and teas are also produced chemical-free and are carefully packed to preserve the richness of their taste and aroma. The spices themselves also offer significant health benefits in addition to stimulating your tastebuds when mixed into curries and other dishes. Health benefits of these products are described in detail in our Spices section.

Our home décor items combine ancient traditions with modern designs. We also offer traditional designs. Carpets, made from the finest wool from the Tibetan region can be designed with traditional motifs as well as with custom designs according to buyers’ wishes. Cushion covers, handloom fabrics and other décor items can also be produced according to custom designs, traditional designs or more modern-inspired patterns. We also offer hand-crafted items made from coconut, palm and other plant-based materials. Our Home Décor contains more information on these items as well as interesting background stories.

Our suppliers are local small businesses in the South Asian region. We are dedicated to helping them while promoting our culture and heritage. Check out the stories on this site, and welcome, to our part of the earth!
