Loose Tea Blend - Golden Milk Chai Collection • Turmeric + Cinnamon + Cardamom • Suited to Milk • Certified Organic
Organic Loose Blend Golden Milk, based on turmeric – a spice with a typically warming and subtly earthy profile. The blend is naturally caffeine-free and intended for preparing a drink with milk of your choice. According to the manufacturer, use 1.5 teaspoons per 180 ml and steep for 5 minutes at 95 °C (for infusion, they suggest 100 °C).
Cardamom and cinnamon complete the distinctly spicy, pleasantly warming flavour, which is enjoyable even without sweetening. The blend is certified organic. Free from added colours and sweeteners.
Why we included Madn Tea in the PraveBio.cz range
Madn Tea is a Belgian brand of organic loose tea and herbal blends. The blends are mixed in Brussels in small batches. The recipes are based on the family recipes of the founder's mother, who hails from India, and are built on precise proportions of individual ingredients and Ayurvedic principles.
The range includes chai blends (a combination of Assam black tea and spices), Golden Milk blends (a combination of spices with turmeric intended for preparing a drink with milk), Ayurvedic and functional herbal blends including collections focused on women's life stages, and also blends suitable for preparing iced teas.
The foundation of all products is loose form, clearly defined composition, and a functional approach: the taste and effect stem from real ingredients and their proportions, not from aromas, instant mixes, or syrups. The brand exclusively uses ingredients from organic farming and all products are certified organic.
Golden Milk – Organic Golden Tea with Turmeric
A gentle blend for moments when you want a warming, caffeine-free drink – ideal for the afternoon and evening. The loose form offers a fuller flavour and aroma and avoids plastic bags – only what belongs in the cup is prepared.
The ingredients include turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, and cardamom. The taste is rounded, gently earthy, and pleasantly spicy, with a naturally “warming” aftertaste – it suits milk and plant-based alternatives.
In Asian tradition, turmeric is often associated with a warming impression and home care.* Cinnamon is popular for its aromatic, warming character, and cardamom adds an elegant spicy note.* Customers sometimes seek mentions of smaller studies that have explored cardamom in selected groups, describing possible indications of changes in blood pressure or some inflammation markers — however, this is not a treatment, and effects are individual.*
The blend is hand-mixed upon order to maintain freshness and is certified organic. It belongs to the Golden Milk collection; “golden teas”.
Did you know?
According to a review in the journal Food Chemistry, plastic tea bags can be a significant source of micro- and nanoplastics when steeped in boiling water. Therefore, it makes sense to opt for loose tea or plastic-free bags.
*Note: For loose tea, simply prepare the blend in a strainer or teapot – without a disposable plastic bag.

How Did This Story Begin?
Behind the brand Madn is founder Naina Madan, who wanted to bring joy and simple rituals to everyday cups. This led to the creation of handcrafted organic loose teas designed for specific times of the day – with a focus on pure taste and straightforward preparation.
The blends are based on family recipes and work with herbs and spices, carefully tuned for balanced taste and aroma.
The inspiration comes from the founder's childhood; these experiences led to the creation of the Elixir collection and an approach that prioritises quality. Madn views tea as a shared moment with family and friends and continues the tradition of the chai ritual.
The brand favours loose teas and principles of sustainability (reuse, waste reduction, recycling) and its blends are certified organic according to EU rules.

FAQ
Does Golden Milk contain caffeine?
No. The blend is caffeine-free, suitable for evening sipping. The drink is based on spices (turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom), not tea leaves.
How to properly prepare Golden Milk?
Heat 180–200 ml of cow's or plant-based milk to 70–80 °C, add 1 teaspoon of the blend and stir for 1–2 minutes until smooth (do not boil). For foam, use a frother/foamer. Honey or vanilla can be added for flavour.
Can plant-based drinks (almond, oat) be used?
Yes. Golden Milk works with milk and plant-based drinks. For a creamier result, choose options with a higher fat content (e.g., full-fat, coconut, almond "barista").
Is there pepper (piperine) in the blend and is it necessary?
The blend is tuned for a gentle, warming taste without spiciness. Informatively: curcumin is sometimes combined with fat/heat (and sometimes piperine), but this is a general note – not a recommendation to modify the product's recipe.
How does it taste and is it spicy?
The drink is velvety creamy, warmly spiced with earthy turmeric, gentle cinnamon, and a fresh hint of cardamom. Spiciness is low; sweetening is optional (honey, maple, vanilla).
Is it suitable for kids, during pregnancy, or breastfeeding?
It is a spiced drink without caffeine. For sensitive individuals, kids, and during pregnancy/breastfeeding, we recommend individual caution and possibly consulting a specialist regarding the amount of spices in the diet.
Will turmeric stain dishes or clothing?
Yes, turmeric can stain plastic, silicone, and textiles. Clean stains as soon as possible; use non-porous dishes (glass, stainless steel) and rinse measuring tools immediately.
How to store and how long does it last?
Store in a dry and dark place, close the packaging carefully after use. Best consumed by the date on the packaging; the aroma of spices is most pronounced in a freshly opened blend.
How many servings can I prepare from the package?
Approximately 25–35 cups depending on the dosage and portion size (usually 1 teaspoon per 180–200 ml of milk). For larger mugs or lattes, expect higher consumption per cup.
Is the blend vegan, gluten-free, and caffeine-free?
The blend is spiced, caffeine-free, and naturally vegan. The gluten-free nature comes from the pure spice composition; when prepared with milk, the resulting drink may contain milk (allergen).

Brand sustainability
Why is loose tea a better choice than bagged tea?
Many tea bags contain non-biodegradable microplastics that can leach into the tea when in contact with hot water. In addition, some tea bags undergo a bleaching process using chemicals such as chlorine, which raises concerns about potential health impacts.
The loose tea, untouched by processing, guarantees a natural and intact infusion. Its greater advantage is that you contribute to ecological development through minimal packaging and less waste.
Thanks to its centuries-old tradition and healthy reputation, tea has become an integral part of cultures around the world. Yet the debate over brewing tea bags and loose tea is a crucial factor that many tea enthusiasts often overlook. By choosing loose-leaf tea, you come to terms with both your well-being and the true essence of tea itself.
