The story

Holy basil, softened by the fruit bowl

Tulsi on its own can be an acquired taste: savoury, peppery, sometimes a bit medicinal if you are not expecting it. This blend takes a different route. Strawberry and apple lead the cup, hibiscus adds a ruby colour and a clean tartness, and the tulsi waits in the wings until the finish. You get the distinctive green, slightly peppery note without it dominating every sip.

Rose petals and rosehip round things out, adding a touch of floral sweetness and a deeper pink hue. It brews a bright, jewel-toned cup that looks as inviting as it tastes. If you have tried tulsi before and found it too herby, this is the version that might change your mind.

Keep a pouch for mid-afternoon when you want something interesting but not caffeinated. It works over ice in summer too: brew it strong, strain over a glass of ice, and top up with cold water. The fruit stays sweet, the tulsi stays fresh, and you have a pitcher that disappears faster than you expect.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

What does Calming Tulsi taste like?

Strawberry and apple come first, followed by a tangy hibiscus middle and a gently peppery, green tulsi finish. It is fruity with a savoury edge rather than a straight berry infusion.

Is it pure tulsi?

No. It is a blend containing apple, tulsi, rosehip, hibiscus, strawberry, rose petals and natural flavours. The tulsi adds character but does not dominate.

Does it contain caffeine?

There is no tea leaf in the recipe, so Calming Tulsi is naturally caffeine-free.

How many cups does each size make?

At 3g per cup, the 50g pouch makes about 16 cups, 100g about 33, 250g about 83, 500g about 166, and 1kg about 333.

Can I drink it with milk?

It is best without. The fruit and hibiscus flavours work better on their own, and milk can curdle slightly with the acidity.

Full product details

Calming Tulsi is a fruit-led, naturally caffeine-free loose herbal blend. Strawberry and apple bring gentle sweetness, hibiscus adds a clean tang, and tulsi leaves a fresh, slightly peppery finish.

It is an easy introduction for a fruit-tea drinker who is curious about holy basil but does not want plain tulsi’s savoury character to dominate.

Taste

Strawberry • Apple • Hibiscus • Green, herbal finish

Choose it for a soft fruit cup with a little more character than a standard berry infusion. If you want ginger, cinnamon and stronger warming spice, Kadha Tonic is the bolder tulsi option.

Ingredients

Apple, tulsi, rosehip, hibiscus, strawberry, rose petals and natural flavours.

The current specification does not state the tulsi variety, ingredient percentages or the detailed composition of the natural flavours. If an ingredient or flavouring matters for an allergy, pregnancy, medicines or another health reason, check the current pack or ask us before ordering.

Brewing guide

  • Amount: 3g (about 1 teaspoon) per 250ml
  • Water: freshly boiled, 100°C
  • Time: 3–5 minutes

Strain at three minutes for a brighter fruit cup or let it run to five for more hibiscus colour and a greener tulsi finish. It is best without milk.

For iced tea

Brew 3g in 125ml of freshly boiled water for five minutes, strain over a glass of ice, then top up if needed.

Caffeine and product name

There is no tea leaf in the stated recipe, so Calming Tulsi is naturally caffeine-free rather than decaffeinated. “Calming” is the product name, not a promise to treat anxiety, improve sleep or change a medical condition.

Pack sizes

Available in 50g, 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg. At 3g per cup, they make roughly 16, 33, 83, 166 and 333 cups.

Read the Calming Tulsi guide for pure-versus-blended tulsi, taste, brewing adjustments, caffeine and sensible safety notes.

Storage

Keep the pouch sealed, cool and dry, away from sunlight and strong aromas.
