Organic Tulsi Vana Cut & Sifted

Organic Tulsi Vana Cut & Sifted, also known as Holy Basil, features prominently in Ayurvedic texts for its significance in holistic herbal medicine. Tulsi comes from the mint family, and the Vana variety is known as the “forest type.” You can distinguish Vana from other types of Tulsi by its unique fragrance — a complex fusion of lemon, licorice, peppermint, and clove that sets it apart from Krishna and Rama varieties.

Hindu tradition considers Tulsi sacred. It is commonly found growing in courtyards and temples across India, where families tend it daily as a living symbol of wellness and devotion.

Flavor and Aroma

Tulsi Vana has the most complex and aromatic profile of all Tulsi varieties. It delivers bright citrus notes balanced by warm spice undertones, creating a multi-layered tea experience. The aroma is invigorating and refreshing, making it an excellent choice for both morning and afternoon drinking.

Traditional Uses

In Ayurvedic tradition, Tulsi is classified as a rasayana — an herb that promotes longevity and overall wellness. It is considered an adaptogen that helps the body manage stress and maintain balance. Traditional practitioners use Tulsi to support immune function, respiratory health, and mental clarity. Fresh or dried Tulsi leaves can be brewed as tea, and the herb is also preserved in powdered and frozen forms for later use.

How to Brew Tulsi Vana Tea

Use one teaspoon per 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Tulsi Vana is delicious on its own but also blends well with ginger, lemon, and honey. For a more complex blend, combine with other Tulsi varieties or with green tea for a caffeinated option.

Sourcing and Quality

Hatton Naturals sources its certified organic Tulsi Vana directly from small-scale farm co-ops in India. If you like this herb’s unique flavor, you may also enjoy our organic Peppermint Cut & Sifted.
