Setting

The first scratch in the throat. The hour after a long flight.

Story

Turmeric, carrot, lemon, ginger, black pepper, cayenne, apple.

Hot, sharp, finishes with a deliberate burn. The kind of thing you take when you step off a plane and want your body on your side.

Burn-and-glow. Citrus into spice into warmth.

Inside

Black pepper ground fresh. Cayenne measured by hand.

The ingredients

Curcumin (from turmeric) is a polyphenol. Piperine (from black pepper) is an alkaloid — research suggests it increases curcumin's bioavailability when combined. Capsaicin (from cayenne) is a phenolic compound. No claims — just what's in the bottle.

Use

Traveling. Around sick people. The first edge of a cold.

Ships in The Hearth and The Bay weeks — the immunity beat.

— Pressed in Miami. Drunk fresh.
