Steeped this one up today with a hearty splash of milk. Not quite a proper latte, but definitely leaning in that direction – which just felt appropriate for this Golden Milk inspired blend…
As a coworker pointed out, the brewed tea looked a lot like fresh squeezed orange juice. It was just such a beautifully vibrant yellow with a hint of an orange undertone. Definitely didn’t taste like orange juice though. Instead it was a very straight forward turmeric flavour with equal parts earthiness and heat. One of the least “muddy” tasting turmeric blends I’ve had in a lot time, though perhaps a bit savory in a way that made me think a bit of soup. The coconut helped with the savory quality though, bring some natural sweetness and creaminess to support the spice.
Only real criticism is that the mouthfeel was quite thin, even with the addition of milk. Also, without the milk, all the natural fats from the coconut rasps would have really, really made this an oily cup which isn’t my favourite thing. Lovely spice composition, though! Maybe the best option would just be to go full blown latte next time I make it.
