Key Ingredients

• Organic Tulsi / Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) — Three Varieties: Krishna, Rama & Vana — Tulsi is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic tradition, known as the “Queen of Herbs” and “Mother Medicine of Nature.” It has been used in Indian wellness and spiritual traditions for over 3,000 years. This blend uses all three primary cultivars: Krishna (purple-stemmed, clove-like), Rama (green-stemmed, mellow), and Vana (wild forest variety, most aromatic), providing a comprehensive botanical profile.
• Organic Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) — A shade-grown tea with approximately 20mg of caffeine per cup, naturally paired with L-Theanine. Green tea has been used in East Asian wellness traditions for over 2,000 years.
• Organic Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) — A warming spice with thousands of years of use in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Western herbal traditions.
• Organic Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) — A warming, aromatic spice with deep roots in Ayurvedic and traditional Indonesian medicine, widely used in warming chai preparations across South and Southeast Asia.

TCM Element Alignment

• Wood Element — Green Tea (Camellia sinensis), Tulsi: In traditional Chinese medicine, the Wood element governs the liver system and the smooth flow of qi. Green tea’s bitter-sweet, cooling character and its 2,000-year history in East Asian wellness traditions align with Wood’s association with the liver system, clarity, and the smooth movement of qi. Tulsi’s aromatic, moving character also aligns with Wood’s association with vitality and flow.
• Fire Element — Caffeine, Tulsi (Shen-nourishing): The Fire element governs the Heart system and the Shen (spirit/mind). Tulsi is considered in Ayurvedic tradition a Sattvic herb — one that nourishes clarity of mind and spirit — aligning with Fire’s association with consciousness, warmth, and the Heart’s role as the seat of the Shen. The gentle stimulating character of green tea’s caffeine also aligns with Fire’s warming, activating quality.
• Earth Element — Cinnamon, Cloves: The Earth element governs the spleen-stomach system and the body’s digestive center. Warming, grounding spices widely used in digestive and circulatory botanical formulas across Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions align with Earth’s centering, nourishing qualities.
