Tulsi Turmeric Ginger

This was the other unmarked tea from my coworker’s de-cupboarding. The paper wrapper of the teabags was simply white with a green leafy pattern that said “Davidson’s Organics” on one side, and the other side just had some verbage about the benefits of organic ingredients. There was no tea name or ingredients list. Several of my coworkers asked me what it was and I was like, “Until I brew it, your guess is as good as mine.” I was brave enough to take it home and uncover the mystery.

Ripping open the bag, I immediately could see and smell the orange tumeric powder. There were only two teas I could find from Davidson’s that has turmeric and the other looked like a pretty chunky tea, so I had a feeling this was their Tulsi Turmeric Ginger. But I needed to use up just a little bit of milk I had lingering in a carton, and after adding milk, while I could taste the tumeric and ginger and some other lovely spices that tasted great as a latte, I couldn’t taste any tulsi, and decided I needed to do another experiment to be sure.

So I pilfered the rest of the teabags and brewed it up today plain with no additions. Ding ding ding! I definitely taste the tulsi, which has such a fresh flavor bordering on citrusy/minty/peppery that goes great with the spices. It isn’t aggressive in its spiciness either, despite having turmeric and ginger… I get a bit of pepperiness at the back of my throat but not a burning sensation. Also a better blend of warming cinnamon and cardamon notes. It’s really nice! I like it, so I’ll probably just finish off the rest of the teabags instead of returning them to the breakroom with the tea name revealed, heh. I will probably make my last remaining cup as a latte again, it tastes very nice with a touch of sweet vanilla almond milk.
