Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea

Licorice, known as the great hormoniser in Chinese medicine, brings its soothing sweet character to India's legendary sacred herb, Tulsi. The delightful combination produces a warming tea with flavour notes of spicy cinnamon, ginger and lemon.

Tulsi, also called Holy Basil, is one of the most sacred plants in India and is considered The Queen of the Herbs for its restorative and spiritual properties. Also spelt Tulasi or Thulasi, it has been used for thousands of years to support a healthy response to stress, natural detoxification, and restore balance and harmony. Our infusions are not only delicious and organic, they are nature's perfect rejuvenative.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): Benefits to Body & Mind

Modern research has classified Tulsi as an adaptogenic herb. Adaptogens have been shown to support the bodyâ€s healthy reactions to stress. Adaptogenic herbs have been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years to promote and maintain wellness. Many adaptogenic herbs have been referred to by herbalists as rejuvenative herbs, qi tonic herbs, rasayanas or restorative herbs. They help the body adapt to environmental, physical and emotional stressors, support normal functions and restore balance.

Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea combines Tulsi with licorice root, cinnamon, ginger and lemongrass, with a touch of lemon flavour. Licorice root is commonly used for its naturally sweet taste and soothing feel, ginger and cinnamon add warmth, and lemongrass keeps the blend from feeling too heavy. Tulsi ties it together with a more herbaceous base.

The useful thing to know before buying is that licorice root has a very recognisable sweetness of its own, even without sugar. If you enjoy naturally sweet spice teas, this blend can be very satisfying. If you do not usually like licorice, that flavour will still come through. Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea is best understood as a soothing, spice-led herbal cup with a sweet finish.

What does licorice root do in Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea?
Licorice root gives the tea a naturally sweet, rounded taste and is commonly used in herbal teas for its soothing feel on the throat and stomach.

Is Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea spicy?
It is warming rather than hot. The cinnamon and ginger are noticeable, but the licorice keeps the blend smooth.

What should I expect from the flavour of Organic Tulsi Licorice Spice Tea?
Expect sweet herbal notes first, then gentle spice, with a little citrus brightness from lemongrass and lemon flavour.
