Organic Tulsi Rama (Holy Basil)

Ocimum tenuiflorum (Rama Tulsi)

Certified Organic Tulsi Rama, grown from seed and hand-harvested on our farm at La Ferme À Ciel Sur Mer in Charlevoix, Québec. Known in Ayurveda as the "Queen of Herbs," tulsi is one of the most versatile daily adaptogens — peppery, clove-warm, and gentle enough for everyday tea.

Why Our Tulsi Rama

• Certified Organic, grown on our farm in Quebec
• Started from seed each spring; harvested at peak essential oil concentration
• Dried at low heat to preserve the volatile aromatic compounds
• Packaged and shipped direct from the farm

The quality is visible: vibrant green leaves, a clean peppery clove fragrance, and intact leaf structure.

Key Uses

• Daily herbal tea — hot, iced, or cold-brewed
• Blending with other herbs for morning or evening cups
• Tinctures, infused honey, and herbal vinegars
• Culinary use where a peppery, clove-warm note fits

Which Variety?

We grow Rama Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) — the most accessible and widely used form of holy basil. It's milder than Krishna and more cooling than Vana, with a sweet clove note that works beautifully in daily tea. For the differences between the main tulsi varieties, see our guide to the types of tulsi.

How to Use

Steep one teaspoon of dried leaves in hot (not boiling) water for five to ten minutes — our guide to brewing tulsi tea covers ratios, taste, iced versions, and the caffeine question. For tinctures, infused honey, and pairings, see tulsi benefits and how to use it; if you're new to tulsi and wondering how it differs from culinary basil, see holy basil vs basil.
