Lemon Ginger Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 7th, 2014
Very strong tasting, and completely dominated by the ginger. Brews up a hazy yellow color, with lots of dust sinking to the bottom.
Peppery, even fiery. The lemon has only a very subtle presence, most evident in the aftertaste. The tulsi is also backgrounded, but is more noticeable than the lemon, especially if I...
Sweet Rose Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 16th, 2014
Thanks to Jenna for providing me with this sample!
The tea bag is wonderfully aromatic, smelling strongly of rose, almost intoxicating (even before brewing) and suggestive of sweetness.
Although this blend contains Stevia, thankfully it's only a dash...I only notice minimal sweetness. I notice there are a lot of...
Green Tea Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 8th, 2013
For some reason, I did not expect to like this one, I think in large part because I've had pretty bad experiences with finely-broken green tea in tea bags, and I also don't see Tulsi's characteristic flavor and aroma blending as well with green teas as I think it does with black tea.
Although I still wasn't crazy ab...
Chai Masala Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 28th, 2011
This really tastes like a masala chai more than any other herbal blend I've ever tried; I think someone could even fool me with it, perhaps until I noticed that it's less caffeinated. The color is a rich red, like most masala chai blends.
Aroma is mostly of clove but with significant cinnamon presence. It's so har...
Tulsi Jasmine Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 19th, 2011
Combining jasmine and tulsi is an interesting idea, especially since jasmine tea works so well, and works with a fairly diverse array of base teas. However, this blend is dominated by the anise and chamomile. I think this tea is a bit deceptively labelled and marketed: rather than a jasmine tulsi tea, I think of it a...

Original Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Tulsi / Holy Basil – Region: India82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 9th, 2010
I've now tried quite a few different sources of tulsi and I can say that this is one of the best. This is the first blend I've tried--in the past I've only had Rama or Krishna tulsi, and I tend to prefer Krishna tulsi as it's smoother.
I brewed this with boiling water and let it steep for 15 minutes. Steeping less...
India Breakfast Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: India70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2010
This tea is smooth and balanced and the way it makes you feel is smooth and balanced as well. It's a bit like a masal chai/spiced tea since the tulsi imparts clove and other spicy aromas. The tulsi is strong enough that I can't really say all that much about the quality of the tea, but whatever tea is used blends wel...

Sweet Lemon Tulsi from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 18th, 2010
I was not expecting to like this one, as I tend to avoid sweetening my tea, and I also don't really like the taste of Stevia. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
The lemon quality of this tea is muted--which is important because lemon myrtle in particular has a tendency to overpower other aromas. The aroma is ver...
Passionfruit Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 10th, 2010
Aroma blends the familiar clove and basil characteristics of Tulsi with a rich tropical fruitiness from the passionfruit (not overdone, thankfully)...but there's also a surprising herbal quality, suggestive of Thyme or Oregano. Pretty good for something in a teabag; reasonably priced relative to quality.
Still, con...
Orange Mint Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 26th, 2010
This tea is interesting in that it tastes very similar to "orange spice" teas, but it doesn't contain any spices; I suspect the tulsi is contributing the tones of cinnamon and clove. The spearmint adds a slightly different twist.
Full-bodied and with a smooth flavor.
I'm not sure how I feel about the presence of...
