Welcome to Day 6 of our 2023 Herbal Advent.
If you didn’t know, holy basil sounds like something in a pasta sauce but it’s actually in the mint family. It’s used to help the body respond to stress – I wonder why it was included in an advent calendar! You can add sugar to give it a “sweet mint” flavor profile similar to Moroccan tea.
We used to carry a holy basil tea in our shop, but was not very popular and we had to discontinue it. Would love to know what you think of this blend!
Ingredients: Green Rooibos, Holy Basil, Peppermint

Day 6 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent calendar. I barely got it together to even open this but I’m glad I did. My migraine tea catalog leans heavily on ginger and mint, and this blend is green rooibos, holy basil, and peppermint. Also relieved it’s not a more cookie/cake/chocolate-leaning dessert blend – I’m just too nauseous for that. So already a win straight out of the gate. I did add a little bit of honey since I should be able to tolerate it and they suggested adding sugar.
Oddly, I’m not sure I’ve had a tulsi/peppermint blend before. Definitely tulsi/ginger and tulsi/rose, but not tulsi/peppermint. I’m into it. The two play really nicely together. The tulsi softens the menthol quality of the peppermint, while the peppermint adds a perkiness to the more savory, earthy quality of the tulsi. There’s a beautiful lingering aftertaste, like a gentle peppermint candy – those puffy little soft ones. I’m sure the honey is adding to that experience. I assume the green rooibos is doing… something? here, I’m just not sure what because I can’t make it out. Which is fine, this is still a very enjoyable blend.
