Product Review

The Tao of Tea Ayurvedic Tea Shanti contains 100 percent Organic Holy Basil 'Tulsi' leaves, 100 percent Organic Fennel Seeds, 100 percent Organic Dried Orange Peel and 100 percent Organic Spearmint. Sweet with cooling undertones of fennel, orange and mint. Shanti means 'peace within'. Ayurvedic teachings suggest a peace of mind to balance the spirit and physical health. Also known as 'Tulsi', Holy Basil is a sacred plant in India and is of great Ayurvedic and medicinal significance. It promotes longevity, contains many beneficial compounds known as phytochemicals, and has strong anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and immune system enhancing properties. Tulsi is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress. Tea purists seek only the clean, clear and pure flavor of the leaf. This is because the unadulterated leaf has the capacity to provide an experience which has inspired many artists, musicians, philosophers and monks. Our company is based on this premise and offers great quality leaf that is fresh, flavorful and full of soul. Only a small portion of all tea made in the world comprises the 'orthodox' or full leaf style of processing. In addition, only a few tea areas remain where 'old-style' hand processing is still practiced from tea plants that grow wild or those that have been preserved for centuries. The Tao of Tea works primarily with tea growers that practice this true art of tea making.
