Organic Krishna Tulsi
Indian Botanical
Native to the Indian subcontinent, Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) is a subshrub with aromatic leaves that grows up to 24 inches tall. As an adaptogen, studies have shown that tulsi is effective in addressing physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress through a unique combination of pharmacological actions. Krishna tulsi is a more rare, tropical species of tulsi with purplish-green leaves and is named after the beloved Hindu god. Historically, Krishna tulsi has been a significant herb in Ayurvedic medicine and today remains one of India's most cherished and sacred plants. The flavor has notes of allspice, peppermint and nettles.

Holy basil is very much a part of the culture and religion throughout India and many traditional Hindus keep holy basil plants on an altar in the courtyard of their homes.
Organic Black Peppercorns
Spice
Known as the “King of Spices,” the best black pepper is grown in southern India near Cochin. The berries of the perennial black pepper vine are harvested when unripe, then sun-dried until they blacken. Quality is determined by oil content and appearance. Black pepper is spicy, pungent and often has a light salty characteristic—an important feature in chai blends. After the black pepper has been harvested, it is steam distilled to produce the essential oil.

Organic Fennel
Egyptian Botanical
Native to the Mediterranean and now grown all over, fennel has feathery leaves, yellow flowers and a root resembling a carrot. While active compounds are found in the leaves, stems and roots, the seed is the most concentrated part of the plant and is used most often in herbal medicine. Fennel is known to relieve issues of the digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems. It is also widely used in cooking and has a flavor reminiscent of anise.
Egypt
Egypt is one of the few countries with borders that stretch into two continents and is considered to be home to one of the three oldest civilizations.

Organic Ginger Root
Indian Spice
Ginger, used in many cultures to enliven food and drink, is also known for its healthful qualities. A light stimulant, it can treat cold symptoms and sore throat. Ginger is cultivated most prominently in India, China, Indonesia and West Africa. After the plant flowers and the leaves die off, the roots are dug, washed, peeled and sun dried. Ginger’s spicy-sweet flavor adds spark and complexity to our Big Hibiscus.

Organic Honeybush
South African Botanical
Honeybush is an evergreen shrub, closely related to rooibos, that grows in the eastern Cape of South Africa.

The slender leaves, stems and flowers are hand cut and then allowed to oxidize in the sun. Honeybush is known to be high in antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, similar to rooibos. As the name implies, it has a distinctly honey-like aroma. Naturally caffeine-free, honeybush has notes of peach, cedar and sweetgrass, with a pinkish golden hue in the cup.

Chinese Botanical
Native to Europe and Asia and now grown all over, dandelion is so much more than the root of an annoying weed growing in the yard. Dandelion was first used in ancient Chinese medicine. For many centuries it was used as a detoxifying herb and healthful tonic. Dandelion is now recognized in modern herbal medicine for a wide range of conditions known to benefit from mild diuretic action, such as liver disorders, poor digestion, urinary tract disorders, and high blood pressure. The flavor of dandelion root is nutty, toasty and a bit like chicory.
