A Note from Alicia:

I’ve been drinking this tea for the past few months and I’ve noticed some remarkable things. This delicious and spicy tea warms the body from the inside out, and it beautifies the skin. It also helps reduce pain and speed healing in every area of the body. It’s incredibly rich in anti-oxidants, and it soothes inflamed tissues, joints and more. Tumeric and ginger are a truly magical combination.

I love to drink this tea with a few drops of vanilla stevia and a dash of hemp, almond or coconut milk. This is my morning energizing tonic and my evening ‘quiet time’ drink. It’s great to drink if you’re healing from an inflammatory condition or have an injury that could benefit from some anti-inflammatory support. Sip, savor and enjoy!
