The Tao of Tea Tulsi, 100% Organic Tulsi green leaf 16 Ounce

The tulsi tea has stems & seeds, but I feel like that is to be expected with such a plant that has more stem & seed pods than other types of plants.Anyways, it has a nice taste, and although I've drank green leaf tulsi that was slightly more fragrant, I still get a decent cup of tulsi tea from this Tao brand.It's not stale, and is of good quality.

We LOVE this tea and have enjoyed a pot every day for several years. Now, it is unavailable. We have found nothing to replace it.

After reading about tulsi (or Holy Basil, its other name) I bought this to build up my ammunity in general. Just going by what has been written about tulsi, and its use over many years, I think its a good choice if we are going to make something healthy and delicious to drink anyway. I make it year-round, sometimes mix it with green tea and lemon juice and stevia. It's good hot or cold. Will keep on ordering this spicy tea.

This tulsi tastes earthy, clovey, and a little spicy (maybe dirty). It is not as flavorful as davidsons tulsi, or home-grown green tulsi. The quantity is great for the price, quality is ok. You are also paying for organic vs conventional. 3.5/5Update: I started rinsing the tea before brewing, the flavor is much better, and was milder on the stomach. 4/5

Second purchase this product. Great health benefits when used frequently. We mix Rama and Krishna in the morning with Rooibos for brighter flavor.

I was trying to recreate a cold sparkling yuzu matcha drink I’d had at a cafe, but this didn’t come close. Super bitter, and no discernible yuzu flavor

This stuff is soooo good! It is fresh and well packaged. I love the taste, the smell and the way it makes me feel. I also bought the purple leaf but I prefer the green.

I really, REALLY wanted to like this. I love matcha. I love yuzu! The two go great together in a refreshing, vibrant drink. When I saw this item, and noted that it was matcha naturally flavored with yuzu and no sweeteners added, it seemed like a no brainer. That's everything I wanted!Unfortunately, this is neither good matcha nor is it good yuzu flavor. The matcha, at least in the batch I received, is a dull olive color, with a murky, muddy flavor. As for the yuzu flavor...I could get some vaguely citrusy notes, but it was mostly masked by intense bitterness - I'd almost wager that the yuzu flavoring comes from the peel that still had pith mixed in, because it certainly wasn't just yuzu sourness or normal unsweetened tea bitterness I was tasting. It was a nasty, harsh bitterness.In short, bad matcha, bad yuzu flavoring, and a terrible let down. I'm rating it a 2 because I intend to try to make matcha-citrus sugar cookies, and I'm crossing my fingers that the stuff is at least good enough to bake with.
