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.

David Z. ★★★★★

I've been drinking tulsi tea for years but never tried a blend with all three varieties together. The Vana basil's sweet mint note comes through without overpowering the smoother Rama leaves, and it's become my nightly wind-down cup.

William ★★★★★

The Vana blend is the standout for me—that sweet, minty note comes through beautifully without any bitterness. I keep a jar on my desk now and find myself reaching for it every afternoon over coffee.

George K. ★★★★★

I’ve been steeping this tulsi every evening and the Rama variety gives it that smooth, cooling finish that really settles my mind before bed. The Vana comes through with a gentle sweetness that makes it feel like more of a treat than a tea.
