How Fresh Turmeric Grows and Why It Matters for Your Health

Updated: Nov 22

Turmeric, often referred to as the "golden spice," is renowned for its powerful health benefits. Its vibrant yellow colour and earthy flavour make it a staple in kitchens worldwide, particularly in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional healing practices. But did you know turmeric tea is one of the most effective ways to enjoy these benefits? Let’s explore how turmeric grows and why fresh turmeric tea deserves a place in your daily routine.


The Athol Glen Growing Process of Fresh Turmeric

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia, thriving in warm, humid conditions. The plant grows from rhizomes—underground stems packed with nutrients and compounds that make turmeric so beneficial. Here’s how this journey unfolds:


  1. Planting

Turmeric begins as small rhizomes, similar to ginger, planted in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. These rhizomes thrive in a warm environment, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°C (68–86°F). Athol Glen Turmeric ensure the soil is fertile and rich in organic matter with no chemical sprays, providing the perfect foundation for growth.


  1. Growth Cycle

Over 7 to 10 months, turmeric plants produce lush green leaves and require ample sunlight and water. During this time, the rhizomes develop their rich nutritional profile, which makes turmeric tea such a potent beverage for your health.


  1. Harvesting

When the leaves turn yellow in late fall, it’s time to harvest. Athol Glen carefully dig up the rhizomes to preserve their freshness and potency. These freshly hand harvested rhizomes are crucial for creating high-quality turmeric tea with a bold, earthy flavour.


  1. Post-Harvest Processing

The rhizomes are hand-harvested, washed, and shredded, with cinnamon, coconut, ginger, and black pepper added within 24 hours to enhance both the flavour and health benefits of the Athol Glen Turmeric Tea blend.


The mixture is then sun- and heat-dried over 10 hours to lock in the freshness and potency of this truly unique product. This meticulous process ensures you get the highest concentration of curcumin for maximum health benefits. The Athol Glen Turmeric Tea unique difference lies in this exceptional attention to detail—unmatched by the rest.
