I’ve been drinking this one every morning for a few weeks, because I wanted to wake up, but am under so much stress that my stomach has been a mess. Coffee hasn’t been my friend lately. However much I like the other Tulsi teas though, this one is just okay. Rather than giving me that delicious black tea taste PLUS the benefits of tulsi, it really just tastes like tulsi to me (tulsi = holy basil). I find that some of Organic India’s other flavors do more to cover up the sorta herby-sweet tulsi taste.
Nonetheless, I shall finish up the box because the plant is good for my adrenals, and right now, in this stupid language immersion program, I need all the help managing the effects of stress that I can get.
I’ve got some tulsi growing that I should probably dry soon and try mixing with tea :)
Neat! Let me know how it turns out…
I will! :D
What kind of black tea do you think would be a good tulsi base?
gmathis – I have used assam with good results
We have basil at home, I should try that!!
