Description

Tulsi Holy Basil is a Herbal Tea that shares close ties with the Indian subcontinent. According to Hindu beliefs, it’s the earthly manifestation of Vishnu. Here at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company, meanwhile, this remarkable beverage balances the mind, body and soul with every sip. 

Tulsi Holy Basil Tea offers sweet herbaceous overtones with distinct minty hints. It’s also caffeine-free, meaning it’s an excellent choice for those looking to cut down on their intake. Like all of our Loose Teas, we pack it fresh to order. 

Tulsi Holy Basil - What to Expect

Tulsi Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as the ‘Queen of Herbs’, is a member of the mint family. Some of the earliest records of its use date back to at least 1,500 BCE. In particular, an ancient collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns known as the Rigveda makes mention of Tulsi Holy Basil. However, historians theorise that its consumption may have taken place long before this publication.

Today, people drink Tulsi Holy Basil Tea for many reasons, including its potential health benefits. According to modern science, it contains an abundance of vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, iron and zinc.

Furthermore, researchers suggest that it can support the immune system and aid digestion. Some even go as far as to say it reduces the risk of heart disease.

  7. Usually teas from Kent & Sussex are great, but this one is below their standard. I've tried several brands, and found that flavour and taste of this one is worst out of three I've tasted. It's far not as good as another artisan brand I've ordered from Amazon.

    Normally all my supply of various teas is coming from Kent & Sussex, but this one I'll have to buy elsewhere. I hope they will improve.
