Earthy, clove-like, and warmly spiced with a lingering sweetness, it adapts to your needs: calming when stressed, energising when fatigued. The original adaptogen, now in your cup.

What makes it special

    Rare in bulk format — most tulsi is sold as expensive teabags
  • 3
    Grown by multi-generational farming families in India's organic heartland
  • 4
    Appeals to the rapidly growing adaptogens and functional herbs market
  • 5
