Tulsi Turmeric Ginger

Ok time for a bunch of what-I-drank-at-a-conference notes! I was at a (really great) conference this week, so of course I have teas to report back on.

I never know what kind of options will be available when I travel, so I always bring some easy basics with me. This always includes a bagged ginger and usually a bagged peppermint tea, to help cope with/mitigate/prevent my migraines and chronic pain. At the moment, this is the ginger tea I’ve been using to fill that niche! I wish I had taken proper notes but I didn’t get a chance to. It’s tasty enough though, with a noticeable but light ginger zing, and it meets my needs as an easily portable herbal anti-inflammatory.

Bought a box for work and after a week, I’m almost out. Really good and fresh. Turmeric and ginger are the stars but really well balanced by clove and cinnamon woodiness and a black pepper spiciness. The tulsi I think lightens it considerably such that not any of the spices truly dominate. Stevia’s in this blend like in the Tulsi Sweet Rose but I honestly don’t taste it; there’s just enough to give the slightest hint of sweetness once the brew cools.

Recently, between this tea and 2 others, I’ve had 3 of Organic India’s tulsi blends and from each one I’ve tasted colors. With Tulsi Turmeric Ginger, it’s mostly orange with some underlying dark yellow-brown, purplish-red, and green-off-white.
