Golden Root Tea

Tax, shipping and handling included.

This custom tea was created for the Tea Bar in Cultural Apothecary, an interactive installation by Alison Pebworth, now on view at MASS MoCA through September 2026.

Each package is custom blended, packaged and hand stamped by Alison Pebworth in collaboration with herbalists Rebecca Guanzon and Bjorn Adkins at Wild Soul River in Williamstown, MA.

Turmeric, the tea’s primary ingredient, contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The qualities of Turmeric (the “golden root”) along with the other magical and medicinal ingredients of Willow, Birch, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Atlantic Sea Salt, Maple Sugar were created as an antidote for “Americanitis", an anxiety disorder and inflammation-related condition that was first identified in the late 19th century and serves as the founding concept behind Pebworth’s interactive exhibit.
