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.

Chloe ★★★★★

Steeped a spoonful for ten minutes and the Rama's smooth, cooling finish made it so easy to drink plain. Three varieties in one bag means I get a different cup depending on my mood.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The Vana blend's sweet, minty notes are my favorite for a midday cup—smooth yet noticeably calming. Rama's cooler taste balances it out nicely when I want something lighter before bed.

Eli J. ★★★★★

I've been switching between the three varieties depending on my mood, and the Rama is my go-to for a cooler, smoother cup in the afternoon. The blend feels thoughtfully put together, and it steeps into a nice, calming tea that I actually look forward to making.
