Holy Basil, also known as tulsi, is a revered herb in Ayurvedic tradition, celebrated for its adaptogenic and holistic health properties. This Rama variety is one of the most common and aromatic types of holy basil, distinguished by its lush green leaves and subtly sweet, clove-like scent. When brewed as a tea, Rama Holy Basil offers a mildly sweet and herbaceous flavor, with hints of clove, pepper, and a touch of citrus. The aroma is uplifting and fresh—reminiscent of a mix between fresh-cut basil, cloves, and a hint of eucalyptus. In addition to its calming and invigorating properties as a tea, dried holy basil leaves have many applications in cooking. It can be used like other dried herbs to season foods for a subtle, aromatic lift.  Add to rice or quinoa while cooking Stir into simmering soup, stew, or curry Infuse into olive oil to drizzle over salad or pasta
