Holy Basil Tea
(Tulsi Tea)

Holy basil tea, a flavorful hot brew or iced drink, is made from the leaves and blossoms of the Tulsi basil plant.

Also referred to as Tulsi tea, the beverage originated in India thousands of years ago and is known for its rich antioxidant and adaptogenic properties that promote wellness and longevity.

Since it does not come from the tea bush, Camellia Sinensis, it is not a true tea. Rather, the flavorful brew is a tasty and beneficial herbal infusion, which is prepared in the same way as one would make black, green, oolong (wu-long) or white tea.

Holy basil contains hundreds of compounds known as phyto-chemicals that work together to create strong anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and immune-enhancing properties.

These support the body's natural defense against germs, stress and disease. Drinking the tea is also claimed to rejuvenate the soul by balancing metabolism, building stamina and promoting mental clarity.

The Tulsi tea plant is referred to as the "queen of herbs" and has been an integral tonic of India’s holistic health system of Ayurvedic medicines. The benefits of tulsi leaves have been documented since around 5000 BC.

The holy basil brew can be made with any or all of these three types of Tulsi plants: Rama, Krishna and/or Vana. It is caffeine free like other herbal infusions and contains vitamins A and C, calcium, zinc, iron and chlorophyll.
