When Montezuma was drinking his “Nectar of the Gods”, a brew that combined cocoa beans with vanilla, honey, and chiles, he knew what he was doing. Filled with traditional superfoods from the Incas, the Maya, and the Aztecs, Maca Chocolaté is good for your body and soul.

Saffron is known to be one of the most luxurious aphrodisiacs of all time but it also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties which can be beneficial to cardiovascular health. Tahmina has three different varieties of saffron tea available: Saffron Chai Tea, Saffron Sencha Tea, and Saffron Rooibos Tea.

A high-caffeine option, the Saffron Chai is a bold Assam black tea with Indian chai-style spices and Afghan saffron. This whole leaf blend has a robust body with multiple layers of flavor, finished by smooth, delicate notes of saffron.

A lighter option, Tahmina’s Saffron Sencha Tea is a masterfully blended steamed China green tea with ginger root, lemongrass, peppermint, and saffron. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this whole leaf blend has a vegetal body finished off with refreshing notes.

Looking for additional heart benefits? Roobios is full of antioxidants, too, and Tahmina's Saffron Roobios tea is a caffeine-free tisane of South African rooibos and honeybush, with lemon, ginger and Afghan saffron. This whole leaf blend has a sweet and earthy body finished off with tangy and complex notes.

Tahmina (derived from the Persian word tahm, meaning strong and brave) is an international brand with a vision to export transformational products from different conflict areas of the world, with the belief that economic development is one of the sustainable agents of change. We love Tahmina's mission of bringing positive change to Afghanistan and other parts of the world, by creating opportunities for employment and helping develop industries such as saffron. Saffron is internationally recognized as the world's most expensive spice and Afghanistan’s saffron has been named the best in the world, giving the industry the immense potential to replace opium farming and help rebuild the Afghan economy.
