About Turmeric Coffee
Turmeric Coffee (Curcumin Coffee) is a healthy and delicious coffee drink where turmeric powder and a few other spices are added to the cup of your favorite coffee.
The turmeric mix has a nice spicy kick and comes together in just a minute. It gives the coffee a warm and earthy flavor which is great to sip.
Although you can drink a cup of turmeric coffee all year round, it is particularly good during the winter season. It gives warmth to the body and keeps you away from cold, cough, and flu.
This turmeric coffee powder can be added to any of your favorite coffees. Be it a Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino, or even a simple brewed coffee made using Instant coffee powder; it works great in all of them.
If you like the taste of turmeric-flavored coffee, then do try my Golden Paste when fresh turmeric is available. I am sure you will like it too.

Turmeric is known to improve memory and mood in people with depression and may also have neuroprotective effects.

Curcumin has potent anti-tumor effects and may help prevent or slow the progression of certain types of cancer.
