Nation's Oldest Organic Tea Co Introduces Tulsi Tea to US Market

PR Newswire | 15 Jun, 2011

SPARKS, Nev., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Health-motivated American consumers are thirsty for tea, and ever open to new varieties. Davidson's Tulsi Tea, a unique, ancient herbal tea possessing powerful healing properties, is about to arrive in US grocery stores. Like all of Davidson's teas, Davidson's Tulsi is traceable all the way back to its source -- the company's own organic tea farms in India.

Tulsi, a type of basil, also known as Holy Basil, has been revered in India as a sacred, health-promoting herb for 5,000 years. Though largely unknown outside of naturopathic circles in the US, Tulsi is being introduced to more US tea lovers by Davidson's Teas, a pioneer in organic and fair trade sourcing.

Health conscious consumers looking for the next "superfood" will be drawn to Tulsi for its impressive health credentials: It's full of antioxidants and is often prescribed as a stress reliever for its adaptogenic qualities.

Foodies looking for the next big thing will respond to Tulsi's subtle, naturally sweet and minty taste profile. Each of the six unique flavors -- Signature Blend, Pure Leaves, Rooibos Chai, Spicy Green, Hibiscus Flower, and Chamomile Flower -- is perfect for sipping, icing, or blending into specialty drinks and cocktails. Every ingredient in Davidson's Tulsi teas is 100% botanical and certified organic -- just pure leaves, herbs, and spices, nothing more.

"Tulsi is traditionally grown by home gardeners in India. Because our family has been in the tea business in India for generations, we're able to grow our Tulsi on our family-owned Putharjhora biodynamic tea farms in West Bengal, India," said Kunall Patel, Director of Sales & Marketing. "Every ingredient in our teas is Certified Organic and the entire line is Fair Trade Certified. This pureness and traceability are real selling points to consumers interested in knowing where, how, and by whom their food was produced."

Where to Buy:

Davidson's line of Tulsi Teas is available at Whole Foods Markets in California, Giant Eagle stores in the Midwest and on the East Coast, in bulk at Central Markets in Texas, and at a variety of other natural and specialty grocery stores, as well as the company website http://davidsonstea.com/
