Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, has been treasured in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years, and for good reason. Known as “The Queen of Herbs,” Tulsi is revered for its ability to restore balance, vitality, and calm to the body and mind. 

At Gathering Place Trading, our connection to Tulsi began in a personal and powerful way. When Ryan and I visited India, we spent time with many of the small-scale organic farmers who grow Tulsi with such intention and pride. You could feel the reverence for the plant in the way they spoke about and cared for it. Back then, we weren’t sure if there was even a place for Tulsi in the Canadian market but something about the experience lingered in our hearts.

We began drinking Tulsi every evening before bed. And then something beautiful happened: we noticed the difference. We felt calmer, more grounded, our sleep improved and our stress lessened. And that’s when we knew we had to bring this tea home! From that love, this collection of organic Tulsi blends was born.

We are so proud to introduce and share our love for Tulsi through three of our newest additions: Tranquil Tulsi, Tulsi Turmeric Gold, and - last but not least - our bold and spicy Tulsi Chai! Each blend offers its own unique aromas, health benefits, and herbal soul.

🌙 Tranquil Tulsi
A pure and simple infusion of organic Tulsi leaves, revered in Ayurvedic tradition for their calming and adaptogenic properties; a unique class of herbs that help the body adapt to stress, restore balance, and support overall resilience. Sip slowly before sleep or anytime you crave a deep exhale and a peaceful pause.

✨ Tulsi Turmeric Gold
A vibrant harmony of Tulsi, Turmeric, True Ceylon Cinnamon, and a pinch of Black Pepper—this golden blend is both grounding and revitalizing. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory, cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and bring warmth, while black pepper enhances absorption and digestive fire. A daily cup to support immunity, soothe inflammation, and bring radiant calm to body and mind.

🔥 Tulsi Chai
An aromatic fusion of Tulsi, True Cinnamon, Fennel, Ginger, Cardamom, Black Pepper, and Cloves—each spice chosen for its healing potency and depth of flavor. This bold, caffeine-free chai boosts digestion, stimulates circulation, and wraps you in cozy comfort with every sip. Perfect as a nourishing ritual, especially on cool mornings or when you need to stoke your inner fire.

Each blend is a love letter to your wellbeing — hand-crafted, soulfully spiced, and rooted in the timeless wisdom of herbal healing.

For us, Tulsi is more than a tea — it's a daily ritual, a connection to our farming partners, and a gift we've experienced first-hand. We’re deeply grateful to now share these special blends with our Gathering Place family.

Yours truly,

Lovena & Ryan 

Sip with intention. Heal with nature.
From our hands and hearts to yours.
