Aaaah this tea… it’s one of my new favorite! 😍 Actually it’s not a tea – but rather an infusion of carefully selected herbs, grown sustainability and organically.
I’ve always loved a good ginger tea – don’t you? But sometimes having to slice fresh ginger root isn’t always the most convenient, and I have to say I love how quick and easy it is to just throw a tea bag in a cup and pour hot water on top. And hop, done!
Tim and I often enjoy sipping on a hot cup of ginger infusion after our dinner meal, all curled up in covers on the couch watching a movie, as it improves digestion and honestly it smells delicious. Only the problem is, we were always disappointed to find that the taste of most ginger infusions was quite … non existent to say the least.
Until we found this one! The taste of ginger is incredibly present, and I would swear there is real, fresh cut ginger root in my cup of tea. This herbal infusion also has Tulsi (Holy basil) and lemongrass in it.
Here is what the brand Organic India says about their product:
Organic India Tulsi Lemon Ginger Tea - The excitement of pungent ginger, accented with fresh lemon, is complemented by Tulsi's spicy flavor and transformative energy. Throughout India, Tulsi is considered "The Queen of Herbs" and is revered as a sacred plant infused with power. Traditionally grown in an earthen pot in every family home or garden, Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) makes a delicious and refreshing tea that possesses wonderful health benefits that support the body's natural immune system while relieving the body's negative reaction to stress. This exotic flavor combination will awaken your senses. Great for supporting digestion, too! Caffeine free.
Organic India's Tulsi - Holy Basil Adaptogenic Formula include three varieties of Tulsi leaves: Rama, Vana, and Krishna. Each variety has a slightly different look, taste and smell and when combined, create a perfectly balanced herbal infusion with an array of health benefits including: support for the immune system, increased stamina and endurance, and protection from everyday stress. Tulsi's remarkable life-enhancing qualities, revered both in ancient and modern times, are now here for you to fully enjoy
The full list of ingredients:
Organic Ginger (root), Organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) (blend of Vana Tulsi, Krishna Tulsi, and Rama Tulsi), Organic Lemongrass, Organic Lemon Flavor.
Mmmh.. Organic lemon flavor though? I don’t always like when I see “flavor” written on a food I’m about to eat, especially “natural flavors” that can hide nasty glutamate, a neurotoxic that messes with your brain and nervous system.
I reached out to the brand to ask where their lemon flavor came from, and this is their answer:
“The natural flavors we use are derived from pure fruit extracts and essential oils, which are certified organic and contain no sugar, additives, preservatives, synthetic or artificial components, MSG, soy, corn, dairy or gluten”.
Ok good enough for me!
