What are the specific ingredients in this tea blend?

The composition of Bio National Basil Herbal Tea is a layered combination of several botanicals, each contributing to the overall complexity of the infusion:

• Basil: The core ingredient, providing aromatic compounds like linalool, eugenol, and camphor, which create its recognizable scent and gently warming taste.
• Cardamom: Adds a brighter, more lifted spice note to the profile.
• Fermented Ivan chai (Fireweed): Provides a softer, malty base that rounds out the sharper herbal tones.
• Goldenrod, Agrimony, and Bupleurum: These herbs add dry, earthy, and slightly floral nuances, enhancing the depth of the cup.

This specific combination ensures the tea is more complex than a single-herb infusion. It is valued for its fragrance and rich flavor, drawing on traditions from the Mediterranean to Central Asia where basil is appreciated for its savory and aromatic qualities rather than just its culinary use.
