Dear Kim,
First of all, I loved the product. Personally, I liked drinking in the morning, I tried this in various ways as per below:
Just with hot water: I really enjoyed this as I prefer the real flavour
I felt more alive when drinking in the morning. I had started a new job at the time and was in training, felt more present and clarity. Experienced a feeling of more energy and warmth in my body.
I also added to my morning smoothie with the same results.
I would highly recommend this product and see how it makes you feel. I loved it, enjoy.
love Suellen Newton

I’m a turmeric woman from way back before it was a thing. Living in India in my twenties,
I dyed my clothes with turmeric,
I had it as a face cream and I made Ayurvedic Dahl with fresh turmeric ..but I never added it to my Chai.
In the last 5 years, I’ve tried many turmeric chai brands and I must say Kim’s turmeric Latte is up there with the best. First thing I noticed was that the powder dissolved well- so many of the others I tried left a huge amount of sediment and were grainy to taste. Kim”s turmeric latte dissolves fully, is creamy, and has no astringent aftertaste.
I have been adding it to my morning Cacao smoothies with Avocado and berries.
I’ve also been making a yummy Midday pick-me-up with Almond milk and maple syrup.
Turmeric is a part of my everyday anti-inflammatory program. I’m currently in recovery from Covid and it feels good to have a drink that isn’t loaded with caffeine and pumping up my adrenals.
Thanks, Kim, this feels like a luxe nutritious option as a daily drink ❤️

In a latté, I found a heaped teaspoon a little too strong and bitter for me so I cut back to just over a level teaspoon and found this quite palatable. Upon reflection I found the turmeric overpowered the other herbs, and by putting slightly less in I found I could taste many other notes which added to the enjoyment of the drink.
I like to sit and drink this very mindfully, as I would cacao in a ceremony.
I played with a few blends; coconut milk, almond, and a coconut-almond blend. I tried without sweetening, with organic maple syrup, and with Manuka honey.
My favorite combination is warm almond mylk with Manuka honey.
Secondly, the FEELINGS;
Soothed, calmed, nourished, balanced.
My mind felt calmer also, yet still alert and very focused. With other calmative herbs, I’ve often felt more dreamy and inclined to walk away from tasks. This blend has seen me get more productive in a balanced way and much better than what a caffeine hit would give me (I have a love/hate relationship with coffee that sees me go off it for months at a time and come back to it again).
After each drink, I felt more grounded and present.
After a week, in
my body experienced better digestion, less bloating/gas, and a reduction in the pain I often experience from muscle tension in my neck, shoulders, and upper back. I am prone to bursitis in my right shoulder particularly. This eased off.
My moods have been more stable & my overall sense of well-being has increased.

Highly therapeutic.

“Sipping the Turmeric & Herb Latte felt not only healing for my body but also for my soul. Sleep patterns have been erratic of late but drinking this latte just before bed settled me into a deep slumber. The ingredients are filled with only Mother Nature’s miracles. I made mine with oat milk and a dash of raw honey for a sweet evening full-bodied brew.”

The Turmeric Latte is one of my favorite drinks. It’s a great go-to instead of drinking tea or coffee and it feels calming to my sensitive tummy. The Turmeric Latte is comforting and balances my nervous system. I make mine with non-dairy milk and honey and I can drink it any time of day or at night. It’s absolutely delicious, the best turmeric latte mix I have had!
Thanks Kim.
