Ocimum tenuiflorum— Fresh, gorgeous, holy basil, aka Tulsi. We let this lady run wild to dry it for teas, make syrups for mixers, and enjoy the gift of her presence on the farm. We have so much of it, if you love holy basil like we do, order some for pick-up or local ATL delivery for bartenders & restaurants only.
