Asian Tempest

Originally from South Korea and brought to the U.S. by Horace Shaw of Oregon, Asian Tempest is one of the most beloved and flavorful garlic cultivars out there. This striking Asiatic variety is known for its bold personality—both in the garden and in the kitchen.

With up to 45 cloves per pound and a dramatic bulbil "beak" that can reach up to 18 inches, Asian Tempest grows into a showstopping crop. But it’s the flavor that really steals the show: sweet and mellow when baked, bold and intense when raw. Expect a forward garlic flavor that lingers, finishing with a satisfying kick of heat.

Perfect for those who love garlic with dimension—smooth and rich in cooked dishes, but fierce and fiery when fresh.
