Turmeric and Ginger: The Ancient Indonesian Power Duo Behind Herbal Drinks
A Duo That Defines Warmth and Balance
If you’ve ever sipped a golden turmeric latte or brewed a cup of ginger tea, you’ve already experienced a taste of jamu. In Indonesia, turmeric and ginger are the foundation of most herbal drinks — loved for their warming flavor and comforting aroma.
The Science Behind the Spice
Turmeric’s natural compound, curcumin, and ginger’s gingerol are known for their antioxidant and soothing properties. In traditional Javanese jamu, these two are often blended to help support the body after long days or to restore warmth after rain.
From Ancient Pots to Modern Cups
For centuries, Indonesians have boiled these roots with palm sugar, lemongrass, and tamarind — turning them into golden tonics served warm.
At Nusa, we preserve this ritual using pure turmeric and ginger, blended with natural sweetness for a flavor that’s both grounding and cozy.
Whether you drink it as your morning ritual or evening unwind, this duo delivers one simple truth: wellness can taste incredible.
