Warm. Golden. The Root at the Heart of Jamu.
Turmeric is WiskTea Recipe's inaugural Jamu Series expression — a brew that draws on centuries of Indonesian herbal tradition and reimagines it as small-batch craft kombucha.
Jamu, the herbal tradition woven through Javanese and Balinese culture, has long placed turmeric at its centre. Real turmeric root brings a warmth and earthiness that no synthetic flavouring can replicate — gently spiced, subtly peppery, and vivid with natural golden colour.
Three ingredients, each doing exactly what it was born to do: turmeric grounds, green tea lifts, lemon brightens. Together they create a kombucha that is layered, characterful, and unlike anything else in the range.

For those who want something with roots.
- The first of its kind — WiskTea Recipe's inaugural Jamu Series expression, rooted in centuries of Indonesian herbal tradition and fermented into a wholly contemporary craft kombucha
- Real turmeric root, nothing synthetic — warm, earthy, and gently peppery in a way no artificial flavouring can replicate; the golden colour comes from the root itself
- A three-ingredient harmony — turmeric grounds, green tea lifts, lemon brightens; each arrives in sequence for a clean, layered, invigorating sip
- A genuinely different kombucha — for drinkers who have explored the Fruit and Botanical series and want something deeper and more complex
- Clean label, zero shortcuts — no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic additives of any kind
- Naturally fizzy — live SCOBY fermentation produces real carbonation, not added CO₂
- Halal certified — suitable for Muslim consumers
Best served well-chilled. Pour into a wide glass over ice — Turmeric's earthy depth and citrus brightness open up beautifully when ice-cold.
Before opening: Gently invert the bottle once to redistribute any settled culture. Do not shake — natural carbonation builds pressure and shaking may cause overflow. Open slowly, releasing pressure gradually before pouring.
Suggested pairings:
- Savoury Asian dishes — curries, laksa, satay, and nasi lemak find a natural counterpart in turmeric's warm, grounding depth
- Grilled and roasted meats — the lemon brightness cuts through richness with ease
- Spice-forward desserts — ginger cake, cardamom panna cotta, kueh with warming spice notes
- Afternoon sipping — a warm, aromatic pause between meals
Serving occasions: Savoury Asian pairings, afternoon sipping, gifting for spice lovers, daily ritual.
Storage: Keep refrigerated at 4–7°C at all times. Consume within 7 days of opening. Keeps for up to 6 months when stored chilled.
