Description

Holy Basil has deep roots in Indian culture and Ayurvedic philosophies. Our Holy Basil, or tulsi, blends three varieties, all with different flavors:

  • Rama Basil: smooth, cooling
  • Vana Basil: sweet, minty
  • Krishna Basil: spicy, peppery

This blend tastes a little spicy, a little zippy, with a basil sweetness coming through as the flavor lingers. It steeps up a beautiful, hard-to-define color: very dark, but translucent, so it seems to change color when light passes through it. A short steep tastes smoother, while a longer steep brings out the peppery notes.

Holy Basil is one of the oldest herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, with a long list of reported health benefits. Primarily, it’s believed to help regulate the immune system and reduce stress levels. It also works as an adaptogen, as a detox herb, and it fits well into a daily practice of mindfulness and self-care. What’s more, modern studies agree that tulsi is safe and effective for easing a wide variety of health conditions. Give this ancient Indian remedy a try: a treat for both your palate and your spirit.

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.

This atmosphere of this shop is so wonderfully cozy and pleasant. The menu has such a nice selection of to-go options and the loose teas to purchase for home brewing are phenomenal and in vast selection. The service was quick and friendly. I came here with my family and we bought many of the different teas to try, as well as some to-go teas. My sister and I really enjoyed their house Chai. It was the perfect amount of spice and tea, like a spicy hug for your soul. I will be recommending this shop to others in the future.

Amazing variety great prices and they'll brew top shelf teas you may be reluctant to buy before trying for a dollar more. Great selection for Missoula. Friendly knowledgeable staff and beautiful tea sets and accessories
