Organic India USA is expanding with the launch of Tulsi Turmeric Chai.

The company describes the latest entry as one in which classic chai spices meet golden turmeric. 

“In this perfectly spiced blend of chai favorites: cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove and nutmeg are expertly blended with turmeric to offer an earthy twist on a classic combination. Tulsi Turmeric Chai brings robust flavor with a caffeinated kick, rounded out by Tulsi, an Ayurvedic adaptogen revered for centuries for its stress-relieving and immune-supporting prowess,” the company said.

“We are proud of our long-standing fair- trade partnerships with more than 2,500 small family farmers in India, many of whom cultivate organic Tulsi as a direct result of working with Organic India,” said Kat Wiranowski, director of marketing. “By working directly with farmers who maintain ownership of their land and choose to partner with us year after year, we’ve been able to source high-quality organic and regeneratively grown herbs while contributing to the expansion of these practices. Cultivating Tulsi, along with other herbs, benefits farmers by helping to protect their land and livelihoods, while also benefiting local communities, global consumers and the planet.”
