Style: White Origin: Blended at Westholme Ingredients: White Tea, Purple Tulsi Description: A soft and graceful tea spiced with the sophisticated flavours of holy basil.

The combination of a smooth and gently floral white tea, with slightly peppery leaves of dried purple tulsi, produce a sophisticated steep that is both grounded and delicate. Wonderful hot or iced (using the cold-steep method). Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 85ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes. *This is the same tea blend as White Tulsi* Organic
