    "content_text": "Tropical Sun Tulsi is pure holy basil leaf, and it tastes more like culinary basil than any sweet European herbal: savoury and aromatic, with a gentle clove-and-anise warmth running through it. Caffeine-free and quietly distinctive, it is a cup with genuine character that takes well to honey or lemon.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
