The short answer: gentle heat, short steep
Tulsi Citrus Detox Green Tea rewards a gentle hand. Brew it at 80°C (176°F) for 2–3 minutes. That's it. Boiling water will make the green tea base bitter and dull the bright citrus notes. Use a thermometer or let boiled water rest for about a minute before pouring.
The result is a naturally sweet, smooth cup with no artificial citrus flavouring. The rare sweet-citrus Tulsi varietal does the work, supported by antioxidant-rich Indian green tea.
What the blend is made of
-
Tulsi Citrus Detox Green Tea | Ayurvedic Refreshing Blend: A fusion of smooth green tea and a unique sweet-citrus varietal of Tulsi (the 'Queen of Herbs'). No harsh herbs, no artificial citrus flavouring. This explains why the tea tastes bright and pleasant on its own, not bitter or medicinal — a key reason to choose this blend over other wellness teas.

-
Tulsi Citrus Detox Green Tea | Ayurvedic Refreshing Blend: Packed in 100% biodegradable corn-fibre pyramid tea bags — eco-friendly, microplastic-free. Also available in double-lid tin caddies to preserve aroma and freshness. The packaging supports sustainability without sacrificing freshness. The tin caddy option is ideal for those who buy the 25-bag size and want to keep the tea at its best.
How to brew the perfect cup
Follow this simple routine for a consistently bright and uplifting cup.
- Heat the water: Bring fresh water to a boil, then let it cool for about a minute until it reaches 80°C. Do not pour boiling water directly onto the tea bag.
- Steep the tea bag: Place one Tulsi Citrus Green Tea bag in your cup. Pour the hot water over it and let it steep for 2–3 minutes. Longer steeping increases bitterness without adding benefit.
- Remove and enjoy: Take out the tea bag. The brew should be a clear, light golden-green. Sip it plain — the natural sweetness and citrus notes need no sugar or honey.
When to drink it — and when to ice it
This tea works well as a morning ritual or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. It's light and uplifting without overwhelming the senses before breakfast. On warmer days, brew it hot at double strength (use two bags), then pour over ice for a naturally sweet iced tea that rivals anything from a wellness café.
It's also a good choice for anyone reducing coffee intake. The low caffeine level gives a gentle lift without the jitters, and the bright citrus flavour makes it feel like a treat rather than a chore.
What the catalog doesn't tell you (and why it matters)
The supplied information confirms the blend is Rainforest Alliance Certified and sustainably grown, but it does not specify a shelf life or precise health benefits. That's common for whole-leaf tea blends — freshness depends on storage. Keep the tin caddy sealed in a cool, dark place, and use the tea within a year of purchase for the best flavour.
If you're looking for a detox tea that tastes genuinely pleasant and supports a daily wellness routine without medicinal bitterness, this blend fits that need. It's not a prescription — it's a pleasure.
