Herbal Choice Turmeric Roots and Black Pepper Tea in a box of 20 tea bags pairs earthy turmeric with cracked black pepper — the spice combination often cited together because black pepper helps the body absorb turmeric's active compound. The flavour is deeper and slightly more peppery than pure turmeric. The 40g pack contains tea bags ready to brew. Brew in freshly boiled water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drinkable straight or with a splash of milk for a quick golden-milk style drink. Caffeine-free; particularly good in cold weather.
