About this product

Open the tin and the scent rises at once, equal parts clove and mint. Steeped, the cup turns a warm amber and smells peppery-sweet, nothing like culinary basil and closer in spirit to a mild chai without the black tea underneath.

This is Krishna tulsi, the purple-leafed holy basil prized in tradition for a slightly stronger, more peppery character than the common green Rama tulsi. It is grown without pesticides on small farms in northern India, hand-harvested leaf by leaf rather than machine-stripped, and shade-dried to keep its volatile oils. In Ayurvedic tradition tulsi has long been called the incomparable one, grown in a pot outside nearly every home in India, taken as freely as any daily cup and traditionally kept for a calm, steady mind.

Details

  • Krishna tulsi, purple-leafed holy basil
  • Grown without pesticides on small farms in northern India
  • Hand-harvested and shade-dried
  • Caffeine-free

How to use

Steep a teaspoon at a full boil for five to seven minutes: tulsi wants a proper, generous steep, unlike more delicate teas. It is good on its own, and just as good stirred into green or black tea for a gentler cup.

Drink it in the middle of an ordinary day, when the ordinary day needs steadying.
