Mélange de thé aux épices Golden Boost

The golden-yellow brew smells exactly like turmeric and cocoa, and the anise gives it a gentle sweetness that works surprisingly well in the evening. I’ve been steeping it for about 7 minutes and it stays smooth without turning bitter, which is more than I can say for most spice teas I try.

I wasn’t expecting the anise to come through so gently next to the turmeric, but it makes the whole cup feel almost dessert-like without any sweetness added. The cocoa nibs give it a cozy depth that’s perfect for a slow afternoon, and it brews up a really vibrant gold.

The golden-yellow brew is as pretty in the cup as the description promises, and that combo of turmeric with sweet anise and cocoa is surprisingly mellow. I’ve been making a pot every afternoon and it’s become my favorite calm-down ritual.
