Numi Organic Turmeric Golden Tonic Herbal Teasan, 12 Tea Bags

What Numi Turmeric Golden Tonic is

An organic turmeric infusion from Numi Organic Tea, in a box of 12 tea bags (1.31 oz / 37.2 g). Numi calls it an herbal teasan rather than a "tea" for a precise reason: it has no tea leaf, and that is why it is caffeine free.

The blend is turmeric with lemon verbena and dry desert lime, a citrus combination that softens turmeric's earthy bitterness. The box carries the USDA Organic seal, non-GMO tea bags ("12 NON-GMO TEA BAGS") and Fair Trade Certified ingredients. Its list says: "Ingredients: Fair Trade Certified™ organic turmeric, organic lemon verbena, Fair Trade Certified™ organic dried lime". The side adds "POTENT CITRUS ELIXIR – with turmeric, an Ayurvedic root –", "TART & REFRESHING WITH TURMERIC – from Atsinanana, Madagascar –", "CAFFEINE FREE", "ALL REAL INGREDIENTS" and "ETHICALLY SOURCED".

What is inside

• Turmeric: the golden root of Indian cooking, the one that gives golden milk its color.
• Lemon verbena: an aromatic leaf with a mild citrus flavor, common in afternoon infusions.
• Dry desert lime: adds the deep, tart note that rounds out the cup.

Who it is for

• Anyone looking for a caffeine-free infusion for the afternoon or evening.
• Anyone who wants to have turmeric without capsules, as a ritual rather than a supplement routine.
• Anyone who cares that what they buy is certified organic and fair trade.

How to prepare it

The box says: "Soothe and comfort. Steep 8-10 minutes." One tea bag in a cup of very hot water: root infusions need more time than regular tea. Drink it plain, with a splash of milk (closer to golden milk) or with honey. It is also good iced, with a slice of lemon.

A food, not a dose

It is a food, not a supplement with a dose: the amount of turmeric in a cup is that of an infusion.
