About this Product
Tulsi Leaf / Holy Basil seeds:
Tulsi leaf is a cherished and valuable herb in India but is also known around the world for its large arsenal of health benefits. It's commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine as tea and for tinctures. In Thailand, the leaves are fried until crisp, and used in popular dishes.
Oddly enough, I chanced upon Tulsi for the first time when there was an error with my Amazon/Whole Foods order. Instead of accepting my return, I was able to keep the tea. Once I tried it, I fell in love. It was love at first sip. Tulsi is related to basil but is a little different. It is a semi-bush-style plant with bright green leaves that have a light tooth on the outer edges and are smooth and flat. Etsy won't allow me to delve into the myriad of health benefits, but respectable studies have verified several of them. A quick search online will provide more than enough info.
The flavor is unique in its own right. It's been described as earthy, and extremely light and tolerable bitterness, with an almost astringent type flavor. A huge cup or French press of this tea before bed is exceptionally relaxing. We grow this every year and sundry or dehydrate the leaves so we have a large stash of tea during the Autumn and Winter. This is a new staple in the garden every year.

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Blue Pumpkin Seed Co.! My lifelong love of gardening, especially pumpkins, led me to create this company.
We started as a small family business on Etsy in 2020, sharing our passion for heirloom seeds. Over time, I took charge to ensure this labor of love would flourish. I'm thrilled to now offer you a carefully curated selection of seeds directly.
The wonder of watching a seed grow continues to inspire me. As a fellow gardener, I share the same excitement and joy for gardening as our customers do.
