About This Tea

Turmeric has a long history of medicinal and culinary uses in foods and beverages. The Red turmeric variety from Taiwan has a higher level of curcumin than the more common type of yellow “curry” turmeric. Taiwan Red Turmeric is typically used for pharmaceutical and botanical extraction industries due to its higher antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. Red Turmeric is associated with Okinawan longevity and healthy living. A bowl of turmeric powder tea can be prepared in a similar way as you would prepare a bowl of matcha. It has a pleasant pungency with fruity-floral aromas that evoke aromatic citrus and flowers. This type of turmeric features a lustrous reddish-golden saffron color. The flavor and aroma make a nice shot or addition to sparkling or still water, tea infusions, mango, pineapple and fruit smoothies, steamed-milk latté drinks, chai recipes or any recipe that calls for turmeric.
