SAMAARA TURMERIC TULSI GREEN TEA 40 GR

Description

Turmeric in a tea is a recent idea in the way it is sold and an old one in the way it is drunk, since haldi has been going into hot milk in Indian kitchens for as long as anyone can date. We are reporting what the pack lists, which is green tea, turmeric and tulsi, and claiming nothing at all about any of the three.

What it actually tastes like is earthy, with the turmeric sitting heavier than the green leaf and the tulsi adding a clove-ish edge. It is a strong flavour rather than a delicate one, so brew it short, two minutes in water off the boil, and taste before you decide it needs longer. A little honey rounds the earthiness off considerably.

What does turmeric do to the taste? It makes it earthy and slightly peppery, and it dominates the green tea rather than sitting behind it. Expect a savoury cup, not a delicate one.

How is it different from the turmeric and ashwagandha blend? That one is a herbal infusion built around its named ingredients. This one is a green tea with turmeric and tulsi added, so there is actual tea leaf in the cup.

The other turmeric blend here is the turmeric and ashwagandha infusion, and the herbal and green tea range sits alongside both. Vegetarian. Keep the pack folded shut or tip it into an airtight tin, because loose tea takes up damp and kitchen smells quickly.
