Tulsi is commonly used in India and Nepal as a sacred and healing herb - particularly in Ayurvedic medicine. It is believed to help the body manage physical and emotional stress.
Our loose tea Tulsi is a pure herb that comes from a small, quarter-hectare organic farm in the Ilam region of Eastern Nepal. This stunning region borders India and the famous tea gardens of Darjeeling.
It is grown by an all-female group of local farmers who support their families and children's education through their work.
Most of the Tulsi found on the global market comes from India. We have chosen to champion these farmers and their unique terrior to promote the incredible herbs of Nepal and these wonderful individuals. And we all benefit because they taste divine.
This is truly the best Tulsi we have ever tasted.
