I love each of my teas

I love each of my teas. My daughter first bought Holy Basil, Oregano and Dandelion, I think. I could nit use the dandelion because I have high blood pressure, so she took it.

I later decided to look for some more teas for me. I bought Holy Basil, and some samples of tea for blood pressure and inflammation. I really like each of the teas very much. I just add some honey to a hot cup of tea and enjoy it.

I will be ordering more as I need to. Thank you.

Hi there! We're so happy to hear you enjoy our teas and that they've become a part of your routine. Thank you for your kind words and support. We look forward to your next order!

Fantastic!

Thought I'd give this a try as it is supposed to help with relaxation and breathing. I made a small pot of tea in the evening and slept better than I have in days. Figured it was just a coincidence but tried again a few days later and the same fantastic night of sleep. I have now ordered a larger size and plan on sleeping every night.

I really appreciate the quality of tea from Full Leaf. The Holy Basil has many health benefits that i am seeking in my diet. I brew a quart in the morning, cook it, and have a refreshing afternoon cool tea with the added health boosting properties. I will buy it again.

Goodbye flu and cold season!!!

Organic holy basil is a wonderful way to help kick the flu and cold season out. I also added a little bit of mint and orange tea to this for extra flavor and help, but my influenza A was gone in no time at all. It was warm , relaxing and helped me rest and made breathing much easier. It was a healthy approach to help me heal instead of all the side effects of other options. I'm grateful for the wonderful quality of the teas I have purchased so far. Thank you

Hi Rachelle,

We appreciate you sharing your experience with us! Thanks so much for your support. Happy steeping ☕️

Disappointed

I first tasted holy basil at True Food Kitchen in Chicago and was excited to try it at home. I was disappointed to find the loose tea leaves were not fresh, and the flavor was equivalent to store bought tea bags. The instructions on the bag were hot clear, and did not specify what exact temperature was best. I will try again at different temps (likely 200F), but I’m not hopeful given the lack of freshness.

Hi Tanya,

Thank you for your honest review! We are very sorry the Organic Holy Basil was not what you were hoping for. In every order we include a tea steeping chart, for the Organic Holy Basil we recommend steeping the tea at 210° for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preference of course. Feel free to give us an email at: support@fullleaftc.com and we can try to recommend a Full Leaf Tea Co. tea you'd enjoy more! (:

Love the Holy Basil!

But then, I love every tea I have purchased from Full Leaf Tea Company! I add the holy basil to my routine when I am feeling a little under the weather. Health benefits aside, the flavor is smooth and yummy.
