Steep 1 tsp of tulsi leaves in 18 oz of hot water for 5 minutes. If you don't have an infuser teapot, place them into a heat safe bowl or cup and, after steeping, pour your tea into your cup through a fine mesh strainer. This bag yields 20+ cups of tea.
Good news! This packaging is industrially compostable. Find a composter near you at www.findacomposter.com. Otherwise, the bag should be placed in the garbage bin.

There's a big problem with our little tea bags. While tea bags can be a convenient option for tea time, most of them are made with plastic and nylon-based fibers, which in turn contributes to our world's massive waste problem. This is why Alaya is committed to the freshest loose leaf teas, ordered seasonally and in small batches. Picked fresh and sent in small batches, their loose leaf teas celebrate simple and pure ingredients, free of added flavorings, fragrances, and preservatives. They directly source all of their teas and herbals from organic, biodynamic, and regenerative farms that have additional certifications on top of USDA organic: Demeter Certified Biodynamic for their tea estates and Regenerative Organic Certified for their herbals.

More From This Maker
Alaya Tea
Alaya Tea is an Indian women-owned loose leaf tea company that sources organic and biodynamic teas from planet-friendly farms in India. Their name comes from "Himalaya," a region that grows some of the finest teas in the world.
After growing up on a daily ritual of drinking chai, traveling in the Himalayan region, and visiting small farmers and tea estates, co-founders Esha Chhabra and Smita Satiani wanted to build a company that would respect these communities and address the environmental challenges of agriculture.
Today, Alaya Tea’s mission is to invest in Indian farmers who are pioneering the organic and regenerative movement, celebrate women that are the backbone of the tea industry, and elevate tea-drinking culture in the United States.

Not great
This wasn't great Tulsi. Really dirty mucky flavor. Actually found some mold and dirt clumps in the 1st bag. Didn't even open the 2nd bag. Belloq Tea Atelier has the best Tulsi, but they're on backorder. For now I've found a local herbalist who has some with a much more delicate and nuanced flavor.
