Golden Hour Latte aka A Hug In A Cup

 We absolutely love this Golden Hour latte, and we often refer to it as a "hug in a cup".  This tonic is inspired by the traditional beverage originating in India called golden milk or haldi doodh. Traditional golden milk is a combination of turmeric, ginger and cinnamon and has its roots in Ayurvedic medicine. This warm beverage is known for being high in antioxidants and its ability to reduce inflammation. We wanted to honour the traditional ingredients used in this nourishing drink, while adding our own "Heirloom" flare on it; and that's how our Golden Hour superfood tonic was created! We added a few extra ingredients to elevate this turmeric and ginger mixture by adding lucuma (a fruit native to...

Vitality Matcha Latte

This Vitality matcha latte is perfect to start your day off right.  We love drinking matcha to add a little "pep" in our step, on the days that we are feeling the need for some caffeine. One of the reasons why we LOVE matcha so much, is because it has the amino acid L-Theanine in it. Matcha contains 5x the amount of L-Theanine compared to other green teas, and is is responsible for the slightly sweet notes on the taste palate. Caffeine from coffee can sometimes cause "jitters" or anxiety in certain individuals, but thanks to the L-Theanine content in this magical powdered green tea, those feelings you get after drinking coffee may be reduced or relieved if you drink...
