Evening Tulsi Loose Leaf by Terraroot

Evening Tulsi Loose Leaf

Holy basil, linden & lemon balm

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) cut at flowering from the beds nearest the creek, shade-dried on screens so the leaf stays green rather than browning, and blended with linden flower (Tilia cordata) gathered from four old trees along the farm lane and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) from the kitchen garden. Coarse cut, no dust, no flavour oil.

Tulsi is traditionally used in Ayurvedic practice as a calming daily tea, and linden has done the same job in European households for as long as anyone has written it down. A heaped teaspoon per cup, steeped covered for seven minutes so the volatile oils go into the tea rather than the room. Caffeine-free. Sold in a refillable tin or a compostable refill pouch.

    The first label I could actually verify

    I looked up the lot number on the adaptogen pouch and got a real COA with the heavy metal panel on it, plus a harvest date three weeks before it arrived. That is not normal in this category. The blend itself is earthy and dissolves properly in warm milk.

    The body oil replaced three bottles

    Light enough for summer, rich enough after a bath in February, and the unscented one is genuinely unscented rather than smelling of sunflower. The glass goes back to them and they credit me four dollars, which after six months has more or less paid for a bar of soap.

    Good tea, wish the tin were bigger

    The Evening Tulsi is the best herbal tea I have had that is not sweetened into a dessert - you can smell the linden before the water is even poured. Eighty grams goes fast in a two-person house, so order the refill pouch with it.

    They answered a real question honestly

    I emailed to ask whether the mineral tincture was sensible alongside a thyroid medication and an herbalist wrote back the same afternoon telling me to check with my doctor first and explaining exactly why. No hard sell. I bought the tea instead and came back for the tincture later.
