A warm, golden cup with cinnamon and turmeric leading, licorice sweetening the finish, and black pepper leaving a small heat behind. Caffeine free.

If you bought this from us before, you knew it as De-Congest Tea. Same blend, same bag, new name.

Why is it called Turmeric Ginger Tea?

Because we named it for the plants in the bag rather than for anything it does. The old name pointed at a symptom, and pointing at a symptom is a claim we are not going to make. Turmeric and ginger are what most people come looking for, and both are in the cup.

What is in Turmeric Ginger Tea?

• Cinnamon Bark. The largest share of the blend, warm and aromatic.
• Turmeric Root. Earthy, and the reason the cup runs golden.
• Licorice Root. Adds a natural sweetness, so the tea needs no sugar.
• Ginger Root. Warming, with a bite that sits under the cinnamon.
• Black Pepper. A traditional partner to turmeric, and it brings its own gentle heat.
• Bay Leaf. Aromatic, a savory note at the back of the blend.

Six plants, listed in the order they appear by weight. No caffeine, no fillers, no artificial flavoring.

How do I brew Turmeric Ginger Tea?

Steep 1 tablespoon in 8 oz of hot water for 8 to 10 minutes. Roots and bark need longer than a leaf tea does, so give it the full time and cover the cup while it steeps. Honey works well with it, and a splash of milk turns it into something closer to a golden milk. It is caffeine free, so an evening cup is fine.

What does it taste like?

Warm and golden, closer to a spiced cider than to a green tea. Cinnamon and ginger carry the top, turmeric sits underneath as an earthy base, and the licorice sweetens the finish. The black pepper leaves a little warmth at the back of the throat.

Where does this tea come from?

None of these plants grow in south Alabama. Cinnamon, turmeric, licorice, ginger, black pepper, and bay all come from climates we do not have. We buy the blend, we pack it by hand here in Opp, and we do not claim to have grown a leaf of it.

Anything to know before drinking it?

Two worth raising with your own provider rather than with us. Turmeric is worth asking about if you take a blood thinner or have gallbladder trouble. Licorice root is worth asking about if you watch your blood pressure, since it can matter when a person drinks it daily over a long stretch.
