Phenomenal

This tea has a subtle aroma and taste - I can’t describe it, and I’ve never had anything like it, but I can’t get enough. Great for a quick afternoon pick-me-up with or without milk.

Golden Delight

Golden Light is the best herbal tea I’ve come across in 60 some years. Straight or mixed with Roobios, it’s great.

Light of my evening!

I had been searching for a turmeric tea that didn't also have licorice root, which I just can't stand. This tea was IT. The lemon and vanilla notes balance perfectly, and with a splash of milk, it's the perfect sweet treat to cap off any evening. I'll have to try the barrel aged iteration next, but this is definitely a must for anyone who loves herbal tea. Even my husband enjoyed it, and he's not usually one for herbal blends.

Ingredients

Organic turmeric, organic sarsaparilla, organic cardamom, organic black pepper, and organic lemon essential oil.

Organic Black Peppercorns

Spice

Known as the “King of Spices,” the best black pepper is grown in southern India near Cochin. The berries of the perennial black pepper vine are harvested when unripe, then sun-dried until they blacken. Quality is determined by oil content and appearance. Black pepper is spicy, pungent and often has a light salty characteristic—an important feature in chai blends. After the black pepper has been harvested, it is steam distilled to produce the essential oil.

Indonesia

The country of Indonesia consists of seventeen thousand islands set between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Located on the equator, Indonesia is also home to hundreds of volcanos with nearly 90 still active today. It is the fourth most populous country in the world with Bali being its most popular tourist attraction.

Organic Cardamom

Guatemalan Spice

Seductively fragrant, with floral notes and a menthol bite, cardamom is a bush in the ginger family that grows to 10 feet high. Popular in Persian and Indian cooking, it is also widely used in tea and chai blends. We believe the best is produced by indigenous Mayan farmers in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Its pale yellow flowers turn into clusters of cherries that are dried. These whole green pods or the dark seeds inside are removed to spice tea.

Alta Verapaz Department

Located in north central Guatemala, this area once helped form the core of the Maya Civilization. Now it is home to half of the production of cardamom in the world. Harvest season takes place between the months of June to February.

Organic Sarsaparilla

Indian Botanical

Sarsaparilla root from India is unlike sarsaparilla from other origins. It has a taste and aroma that is vanilla-like and creamy, making it ideal for use in chai and blends with rooibos, or simply enjoying by itself. A climbing plant that grows throughout India, the root is dug, washed, peeled and sun dried. The thicker roots of the sarsaparilla plant make the best and most flavorful brew.

Nilgiri

Nilgiri translates to "blue mountain". It is a range of mountains that are part of the larger Western Ghats and are located in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in Southern India. With over 24 peaks reaching higher than 2,000 meters, it made this area perfect for growing tea and other botanicals, along with providing the British in the Raj era respite during India's long hot summers.

Organic Turmeric

Indian Botanical

Turmeric, part of the ginger family, is a flowering plant that has been coveted in India as a cooking spice, natural dye and medicinal herb for thousands of years. With its iconic vivid golden color, turmeric has a somewhat bitter and earthy flavor profile with notes of pepper, ginger and orange. There are many medicinal properties of turmeric and the vibrant ingredient has become widely recognized as a superfood in recent years.

Meghalaya, India

Touted as “India’s new adventure playground,” Meghalaya is a beautiful, hilly agricultural region that carves through the renowned Assam valley and the plains of Bangladesh. But bring your raincoat, because Meghalaya is also one of the rainiest places on earth, boasting an average annual rainfall of 470 inches.
