 Sacred Basil for Daily Balance

Some plants carry centuries of wisdom in their leaves.05° Tulsi Tea brings you one of those plants. Sacred basil—known across South Asia as Tulsi, sits at the heart of this Himalayan herbal supplement. People have revered it for generations. Not as a trend. As a cornerstone of Ayurvedic tradition.We've blended it with complementary herbs from the high mountains of Ilam, Nepal. Everything grows at 7,000–7,500 feet. The elevation does something special. The herbs develop bolder aroma. Deeper character. More presence.This is your grounding infusion. For calm moments. For mindful rituals. For daily self-care that actually feels meaningful.

Rooted in Ayurveda & Yogic Practice

Tulsi isn't new-age wellness marketing.

It holds a sacred place in Ayurvedic tradition. Yogis have sipped it before meditation for centuries. Spiritual practitioners consider it essential. The plant itself is associated with mental clarity, centered awareness, and balanced inner calm.

People reach for this tea before sitting down to meditate. They brew it during evening wind-down rituals. They sip it whenever they need to feel grounded again.

This is herbal tea with real roots. Cultural depth. Timeless purpose.

Naturally Soothing & Beautifully Aromatic

Tulsi contains natural aromatic compounds like eugenol. That's what gives it that warm, clove-like scent. That smooth, comforting presence when you bring the cup close.

We've paired it with complementary Himalayan herbs and spices. The blend offers gentle throat comfort. The kind you feel when you sip something warm and thoughtfully made.

The flavor profile:

Softly spicy. Deeply herbal. Perfectly balanced. Warming without heaviness. Calming without making you drowsy. Just right.'

A Connoisseur’s Take

This Himalayan holy basil herb, known for its very long list of medicinal properties, consists of both leaves and stalk of the whole plant, giving off a subtly spicy aroma of cinnamon and ginger. Producing a pale golden white grape juice hue, with light and smooth texture, this health beneficial herb, has an herbaceous taste with camphor undertone. It finishes up with a soft and tingly juiciness giving off a warm and calming body sensation.

The Danfe Method

We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.
