Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in March 2026.

Tropical Sun Turmeric and Ginger combines two of the most researched antioxidant plants, turmeric (curcumin) + ginger (gingerols). Bright, warming, mildly spicy. Tea strength delivers modest doses of bioactives but the daily antioxidant tea routine has cumulative value. Best with black pepper for curcumin absorption.

The blend

Turmeric root + ginger root pieces. Sometimes black pepper for curcumin absorption.

Why turmeric + ginger

Both are well researched antioxidant plants:

Curcumin (turmeric): Strong antioxidant in lab studies; modest clinical evidence.
Gingerols (ginger): antioxidant and anti nausea.

Combined, they're the foundation of many golden milk and antioxidant drinks.

The black pepper trick

Curcumin absorption is poor without piperine (black pepper compound). Many turmeric blends add black pepper specifically for this reason. Add a pinch of black pepper to amplify benefit.

How it tastes

Warm, slightly bitter, earthy with bright ginger. Distinctive yellow colour. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

How to brew

1 bag in 200ml just boiled water.
Steep 5-7 minutes.
Add a pinch of black pepper for curcumin absorption.
Optional: add milk for golden milk style.
Honey to taste.

Use cases

Daily antioxidant routine.
Joint discomfort support.
Post exercise recovery.
Caribbean/Asian cuisine pairing.
Cold and flu support.

Caffeine

0mg.

Vegan

Yes.

Pregnancy

Ginger is safe and recommended for nausea. Turmeric in tea strength is generally OK; supplement strength can affect blood thinning. Consult GP.

FAQ

Caffeine? 0mg.

Vegan? Yes.

Black pepper? Yes, improves curcumin absorption significantly.

Daily routine? Yes, cumulative effect.

Replacement for medication? No, supportive only.

Curator's note: Tropical Sun Turmeric and Ginger is the daily antioxidant blend. Real research backing; modest tea strength delivery. Add black pepper for curcumin absorption. Worth keeping for daily routine. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
