Temple Turmeric Enlightens the Beverage Aisle with Juicy New Super Lights

Pioneer of Drinkable Turmeric Delivers Soulful Refreshment with Just 40 Calories   

NEW YORK (June 30, 2015) – Temple Turmeric™, purveyor of the world’s first and finest turmericbased beverages, today unveiled the newest addition to its family: Super Lights. This new line of fullyfunctional thirst-quenchers is designed to support a positive inflammation response with 7g of the brand’s proprietary Hawaiian Oana Turmeric™ and only 40 calories per bottle. Super Lights are available in three flavors – Hibiscus Berry-Ade, Lemon Ginger-Ade and Strawberry Lemon-Ade, and will start hitting store shelves this month.

“With the heat of summer approaching, we are sharing a way for people to do more than just hydrate; we want to offer a refreshingly light way to honor their bodies while drinking in the abundance of Earth’s finest organic ingredients,” said Daniel Sullivan, CEO and founder of Temple Turmeric. “Our Super Lights are a completely new twist on our original nourishing turmeric-based Elixirs, offering all the benefits of our Hawaiian Oana Turmeric and a mindfulness around calories and sugar. Each bottle is a celebration of purification, soulful awareness and exceptional health – perfect for enjoyment wherever your wondrous journey takes you.” 

Temple Turmeric Super Lights are made for heightened refreshment, with organic ingredients like strawberries, tart lemons, and fiery ginger, a symphonic adaptogen that helps maximize the bioavailability of curcumin, the active component in turmeric. Furthermore, Temple Turmeric’s proprietary Hawaiian Oana Turmeric has more than 4.5 times the amount of curcumin as the world’s predominant supply, Indian Yellow Turmeric. Each bottle is organic, high-pressure processed (HPP), BPA-free and Non-GMO Project Verified with an MSRP of $3.99.  

  • Hibiscus Berry-Ade: Enjoy a floral refresh with this exotic beverage that marries tropical hibiscus flowers, brewed into a deep-red herbal tea, with the auspiciously sweet beauty of organic blueberries for a vibrant indigo blend.
  • Lemon Ginger–Ade: A blend of the spicy and intoxicating flavors of humble ginger, which is widely used in Ayurveda as a warming herbal remedy, with bright lemon to encourage optimum alkaline pH levels to support your body’s natural defenses and bring new zest to your day.
  • Strawberry Lemon–Ade: Refreshingly sweet and juicy, this Super Light is packed with strawberries, which have long been treasured for their scarlet hue, heart-shape and sweet, slightly tart flavor. To compliment that loveable perfection, we’ve paired it with classic lemonade, enhanced with our powerful turmeric for the purest expression of a thirst-satisfying, summery blend.   

Temple Turmeric Super Lights can be found at retailers such as Fred Meyer, Kroger and Ralphs. They join the brand’s existing product line, which includes Elixirs, Super Blends and PurePRANA Super Tonic, available at Whole Foods Market and other natural retailers and grocery stores nationwide.
