Green Holy Basil with a fresh, herbaceous taste
Rama Tulsi, Ocimum tenuiflorum (Holy Basil), is the classic green-leafed variety of Tulsi widely grown throughout India. Fresh, fragrant and gently aromatic, it has a milder and more rounded character than Krishna Tulsi. When brewed, Rama Tulsi produces a smooth caffeine-free infusion with fresh herbaceous notes, gentle clove and pepper notes and a balanced finish.
Rama Tulsi has a long history of use in Ayurveda, where it is traditionally regarded as a warming aromatic herb associated with supporting digestion, respiratory comfort, mental clarity and general vitality.
Modern analysis shows that its green leaves contain a range of naturally occurring plant compounds, including eugenol, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid which have antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties. Wider research into Ocimum tenuiflorum has also explored its potential role in stress, metabolic health and general wellbeing.
