About this tea
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
So, a little spicy, a little zippy, with a basil sweetness. 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 believed to help regulate the immune system and reduce stress levels. Also works as an adaptogen, as a detox herb, and it fits well into a daily practice of mindfulness and self-care. Modern studies agree that tulsi is safe and effective for easing a wide variety of health conditions. Give this ancient Indian remedy a sip, a treat for both your palate and your spirit.
