Basil (Ocimum sanctum, Holy Basil) is also known as the Tulsi herb. Known firstly as an anti-depressant, this herb speaks to the adrenal cortex, which in turn prompts the body to regulate the hormones that are responsible for taking care of stress. An interesting herb that has some unique uses, such as overcoming jet lag and improving memory.
Other commonly used applications for Basil tea are skin infections, fevers, intestinal parasites, and diarrhea.
Being an anti-inflammatory, this herb can also be useful against arthritis.

From certified organic Australian suppliers.

    Great tea and great service

    The Teas are great taste and awesome quaility love drinking the night wish

    Hi Leanne, thank you - this one was created as it's different to the rest of the other bedtime teas such as goodnight sleeping.
    Another lovely mellow tea bloom

    The yellow chrysanthemum bloom is very beautiful sitting on it's bed of green as this bloom opens into a slightly aniseed smelling tea at first, but when fully brewed tastes like a mellow silver needle tea that has a very subtle, fruity, sweet overtone. It's not overpowering or dominating in anyway and is very refreshing.

    Hi Casey, thank you for your review! I really hope those samples have arrived....
    Happy with my tea

    Unable to purchase Decaf leaf tea from the supermarket It was refreshing to find that i could purchase this seemingly elusive product online at "Tea Life".
    The service was excellent and the tea arrived promptly. I'm very happy with my tea purchase and would recommend this company. Many thanks Tea Life.

    Hi Liz, thank you. We'd love to expand our decaf range actually but it's difficult to get a hold of. Hopefully this year will bring some new decaf teas!
    Fab Tea!!!

    I orderered the hibiscus tea in order to have some choice whilst cutting out black tea
    The hibiscus tea is delicious and fruity
    It has also reduced my blood pressure
    The staff are very helpful and fixed any issues right away
