Tulsi tea, also known as holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic tradition. This certified organic tulsi tea has a warm, slightly peppery flavour with subtle clove-like notes, and it has been traditionally used for centuries as an adaptogenic herb to help the body cope with everyday stress. The tulsi tea benefits include supporting calm, mental clarity, and overall resilience, making it a wonderful daily ritual.
Key Benefits
- Stress and calm: Traditionally used as an adaptogenic herb to help the body manage everyday stress and support a balanced mood. One of the tulsi benefits most valued in Ayurvedic practice.
- Immune support: Traditionally used to support the body's natural immune defences. Rich in antioxidant compounds including eugenol, rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid.
- Respiratory comfort: Traditionally used to support clear, comfortable breathing and ease mild seasonal discomfort.
- Certified organic: Dried holy basil aerials grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.
- Caffeine-free daily tea: A warm, aromatic herbal tea that can be enjoyed any time of day as part of a calming daily routine.
Tulsi tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried tulsi to a cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy. The infusion has a warm, aromatic flavour that deepens with longer steeping. Add honey and a squeeze of lemon for a soothing daily cup.
Blending: Tulsi pairs wonderfully with Chamomile for a deeply calming blend, or with Ginger Root for a warming, spicy infusion. For a stress-support blend, try combining with Lemon Balm.
Tulsi is considered a sacred plant in Hinduism, often grown near temples and in home courtyards as a symbol of protection and devotion. It is sometimes called "The Incomparable One" and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years.
Holy basil is a different species from the sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) used in cooking. The three main varieties of tulsi are Rama (green leaves), Krishna (purple leaves), and Vana (wild forest tulsi), each with a slightly different flavour profile.
