The reason why I'm hesitant to write this review is that I'm an incredibly selfish person. I want ALL of the Golden Tisane that Meli has to offer. I regularly buy her out of it. The blend is incredible.
It starts out with just a hint of sweetness. She says it's due to the licorice. The selfish me doesn't want her to change the label because it puts some people off. I heard some people in line at the market be deterred by licorice ("I hate the taste of licorice"). We had friends over for dinner last night who don't like licorice--they loved the tea. Anyway, if you're thinking black licorice or even anise, the hint of sweetness isn't anything like that. If you've had floral teas (red teas come to mind), it is nothing like that either. It's much more subtle and pleasant, and it quickly gives way to the predominant flavor which grows deeper and deeper as you get to the bottom of the pot.
Is there a word in the English language to describe the predominant flavor? The intoxicating combination of ginger and turmeric is ambrosial, luscious and exciting (almost alcoholic) without being too spicy. Add in the known health qualities of turmeric and ginger and you have the ultimate concoction which I feel good about drinking--my jam, my prescription, my tincture, my groove.
A word about the bottom of the pot. This tea has a quality that I've never seen before. The bottom is MORE flavorful. I've noticed that if I leave half a pot for an hour or so, the tea will form into a cloudier, denser version of itself. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm addicted to this tea.
With this admission, I've come back full circle to my hesitation in writing this review. About three weeks ago, I was running low. Meli didn't show up to the market (the nerve!) and I couldn't find it anywhere. I went to the website and there was none to be found. I took a trip out to the address on the label; nothing there either. So, now you understand why I'm hesitant to write this positive review!!
This turmeric tea blend is a fresh new twist that has been my go to tea since I brought it home. Healthy with a smooth sweet taste that makes drinking turmeric a pleasure.
A refreshing blend that leaves you feeling nourished
Mel at the farmers market was so friendly and insightful.
I love these teas!!
