Čaj s kurkumou a chia semínky (bio)

I've been drinking this every morning instead of coffee and the cardamom is what really makes it — warm and a little sweet without any added sugar. Steeping it for about five minutes gives a strong enough cup that I don't miss my usual caffeine at all.

The cardamom and clove give it this warm, almost chai-like kick that I wasn't expecting from a turmeric tea. I've been swapping my afternoon coffee for this and the fennel leaves a subtly sweet finish that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.

The spicy warmth of the cinnamon and cardamom comes through right away, and it’s genuinely soothing on a chilly afternoon. I steeped a bag for five minutes and the earthy turmeric taste was bold but not bitter. This has become my calm-down ritual after work.
