Manjericão-canela português

The dried leaves smell wonderfully sweet and spicy before you even pour the water. Steeped, it’s surprisingly smooth with a gentle warmth that makes it my go-to cup for winding down in the evening.

The cinnamon kick comes through clearly in the steam, and it's way more soothing than I expected from a basil tea. I've been sipping it mid-afternoon when I need to unwind, and the natural sweetness means I don't even add honey.

Brewed a cup after dinner and the aroma filled the whole kitchen—so much sweeter and spicier than regular basil tea. It's genuinely calming, and the leaves steep up to a lovely pale gold without any bitterness. Definitely my new evening ritual.
