Turmeric latte blend · 35 serves
One teaspoon of organic turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, maca and black pepper, stirred through warm milk. Caffeine free, and made to be drunk every night rather than kept in the cupboard.
$20 a pouch, or $17 a month on subscription — 49c a serve. Free shipping over $50.
What it's for
Turmeric has been studied for decades, and most of that work is about one compound and whether the body can absorb it. Below is what a daily cup is working on, and what the research actually examines.
A food, not a medicine. We describe what researchers investigate, not what this drink will do for you.
The most studied use. Trials look at whether curcumin eases stiffness and soreness in knees and hands over weeks, not days.
Research examines markers of inflammation in blood, and whether a daily dose moves them over a sustained period.
Ginger is investigated for nausea and gastric emptying; turmeric for bile flow and general gut comfort.
Studies look at muscle soreness and recovery time in trained and untrained people alike.
Less about the spices than the ritual — a warm, caffeine-free drink at a consistent hour.
Most trials use concentrated curcumin extracts at doses well above a culinary teaspoon, usually with a bioavailability enhancer.
Curcumin is poorly absorbed alone. Piperine from black pepper is the most studied way to raise it, which is why it is in the blend.
What research investigates and what a daily cup provides are not the same thing. We state the milligrams so you can judge.
One blend, two ways
Same functional base. One adds single-origin cacao for a darker, richer cup. Subscribe and it's 15% off with free shipping — or try a single pouch first.
Warm, peppery, faintly sweet. The original recipe, corrected — more ginger, real Ceylon cinnamon, enough pepper to matter.
The same base with raw cacao — darker, deeper, closer to a hot chocolate you can drink every night.
The formula
A 2.8g teaspoon, fully accounted for. No proprietary blends, no flavourings, no anti-caking agents, no filler.
The base. Standardised for curcumin, and the reason everything else is here.
Warmth and bite. Studied alongside turmeric for digestion and nausea.
True cinnamon, not cassia. Sweeter, softer, and far lower in coumarin.
Malty and grounding. Balances the sharper spices.
Piperine. The most studied way to raise curcumin absorption — not a garnish.
Sweetens at almost no glycemic cost. 0.12 g of sugars a serve.
In their words
“Most of these are cinnamon and sugar pretending. You can taste that this one isn't.”
The ritual
Straight off the back of the pouch. Heat the milk, take it off before it boils, stir the blend through.
250 ml of whatever milk you drink. Take it off before it boils — scalding flattens the spice.
One level teaspoon. Whisk or stir hard for ten seconds so the turmeric doesn't sit on top.
Same time each night, ideally. The ritual is doing as much work as the blend.
Made by hand
We blend in small batches from our base in South Australia, choosing each ingredient for purity, potency, and how it tastes in the cup rather than how cheap it is by the kilo.
Skip, pause, swap flavour or cancel from your account — no email required. Thirty-five serves is about a month of nightly cups.
