About This Product
Combining Purple Leaf and Green Leaf Tulsi, our House Tulsi blend is full-bodied, smooth, and refreshing. It is caffeine-free and can be enjoyed hot or iced.
Known as Holy Basil (Ocimum Sanctum), Tulsi is a sacred plant from India used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Tulsi is considered an elixir-like infusion that promotes well-being. There are three Tulsi varietals, each with a distinct flavor: the Green Leaf (Rama Tulsi), Purple Leaf (Krishna Tulsi), which bears dark green-to-purple leaves, and a third, considered the most flavorful and also the hardest to grow – Wild Forest (Vana Tulsi).
We work only with small-scale Tulsi growers that need assurance for their harvests. As such, we provide up-front guarantees to purchase their products and help sell them through a market-education development approach. As we grow, we envision our ability to help more small-scale and marginal farmers in this process.
Ingredients: Green Leaf (Rama) Tulsi leaves and stems, Purple Leaf (Krishna) Tulsi leaves and stems.
