Tea With Basil

I find it works really well with white teas that already has an earthy, herby taste. Something like mai pu tan which is floral but earthy.

Gentle Giant by Yumchaa is a great example of how herby flavours combine well : http://www.tastethetea.co.uk/2016/02/13/review-gentle-giant/

Oh thank you :) I have a little Bai Mu Dan left in the cupboard.

Basil compliments citrus really well too, so if you have any flavored blends lying around with strong orange or lemon notes you could try adding it to those blends as well :)

I’ve infused black tea with fresh basil and strawberries. That was pretty tasty. Just make sure you take the strawberries out because they lose their color after a while and start to look really gross,lol.
