INDIAN TULSI
TASTING NOTES: Cloves, peppermint, licorice
Tulsi (or "Holy Basil") is a herb that comes from a flowering bush which is part of the mint family. Our tulsi is grown by a small group of farmers that use regenerative practices in a rural corner of northern India. When brewed, it makes a mildly earthy infusion, slightly spicy, clove-like infusion.
