When it comes to turmeric tea, Taka Turmeric which is based in Cape Town, South Africa delivers.
Where many countries go to India, Taka Turmeric found out that only a small percentage of Turmeric is organically and ethically grown and comes in different grades (similar to China’s Pu-erh teas) and the amount of curcumin (The active ingredient in turmeric) can vary.
And so the company has learned to source the very best herbs and spices to create a a golden synergy of taste and health.
For those not familiar with turmeric, it is great for anti-inflammatory, as an antioxidant, antibiotic, aids in metabolism and supports weight management, aids in arthritis, helps heals stomach, helps soothes coughs and asthma and more.
The tea I am reviewing is Taka Turmeric’s Ginger Lemon Tea and I have to say that I love this tea. The turmeric taste is not overbearing, but you can taste the turmeric. And the tea is activated by crushed black peppercorns, so you can taste a little of that spice.
With a little black pepper and coconut, the tea is absolutely delicious and is made of 100% organic ingredients: Turmeric, Ginger, Lemon Peel, Grated Coconut, Rose Hip, Fenugreek and Black Pepper.
I tend to avoid bagged tea, as I’m more of a loose leaf tea drinker, but I have to say, Taka Turmeric teas are among the best tea bag-based teas out there.
You get about 15 unbleached tea bags in one box and it’s under $7!
At a great price and a great tasting tea! Taka Turmeric Ginger Lemon Tea is highly recommended!
