Tulsi Holy Basil Tea
Tulsi
Grown across the central Indian plains and Himalayan foothills, tulsi is harvested as whole leaf and shade-dried to hold its warm, clove-like aroma. The infusion is gently peppery and herbaceous with a soft eugenol sweetness, and tulsi has long been prized in Ayurveda as an adaptogen for everyday calm. Steep alone for a caffeine-free cup or blend with green tea, ginger or lemongrass.

Questions
- Is tulsi the same as holy basil?
- Yes. Tulsi is the Indian name for holy basil (Ocimum sanctum). It is botanically distinct from the sweet basil used in Italian cooking and is grown specifically as a sacred and medicinal herb.
- Why is tulsi called an adaptogen?
- In Ayurvedic tradition tulsi is valued for helping the body cope with everyday physical and mental stress, which places it among the herbs commonly described as adaptogens. We supply it as leaf and tea rather than a concentrated extract.
- Does tulsi tea contain caffeine?
- No. Tulsi is a herbal leaf with no natural caffeine, which makes it suitable for any time of day, including the evening.
