Some ingredient pairings feel like they were always meant to be together. Ceylon cinnamon and turmeric are one of those pairings — two of the world’s most storied botanicals, brought together in Rhymba Hills’ AntyOxy blend to create a warming, golden-hued Ceylon cinnamon turmeric tea with roots in both Malaysian herbal tradition and centuries-old wellness practice.
Here’s what makes this duo so special, and why it anchors one of our most-loved botanical infusions.
Ceylon Cinnamon: The “True Cinnamon”
Not all cinnamon is created equal. Ceylon cinnamon — sometimes called “true cinnamon” — is prized for its delicate, slightly sweet flavour and finer, more fragrant bark compared to the stronger, more common cassia variety found in many supermarket spice blends.
For generations, Ceylon cinnamon has held a place in traditional wellness practices across Asia, valued for its warming character and role in everyday herbal preparations. At Rhymba Hills, we chose Ceylon cinnamon specifically for its refined aroma and quality, ensuring that every sip of AntyOxy delivers a smooth, comforting warmth rather than the sharp bite of lower-grade cinnamon.
Turmeric: The Golden Root
Turmeric needs little introduction. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this golden root has been a kitchen and wellness staple across Malaysia and its neighbouring regions for centuries, prized for its vivid colour, earthy flavour, and place in traditional herbal preparations passed down through generations.
Combined with a botanical infusion base, turmeric brings both its distinctive colour and its long-standing reputation as one of the region’s most trusted roots — a natural fit for a brand built on Malaysian botanical heritage.
Why We Paired Them in AntyOxy
The name “AntyOxy” is a nod to what this blend is all about: bringing together two botanicals long associated with antioxidant properties into a single, easy-to-enjoy infusion. Rather than taking turmeric or cinnamon in isolation — as a supplement or a spice — AntyOxy lets you experience them the way they were traditionally enjoyed: gently infused, sipped slowly, and woven into a daily ritual rather than a quick fix.
This is a core part of the Rhymba Hills philosophy. We believe botanicals are best experienced as part of a mindful routine, not as isolated “hacks” — which is why every AntyOxy blend is:
- 100% caffeine-free, making it suitable any time of day
- JAKIM Halal certified, sourced from Peninsular Malaysia’s food basin
- Free from artificial additives, letting the natural character of cinnamon and turmeric shine through
A Global Favourite Rooted in Malaysian Heritage
While Ceylon cinnamon and turmeric are both globally recognised botanicals, the way Rhymba Hills brings them together reflects a distinctly Malaysian approach to herbal infusion — one shaped by generations of local knowledge about how botanicals work best in combination, not isolation.
That heritage-led approach is part of why AntyOxy has resonated with wellness communities well beyond Malaysia, from Europe to Hong Kong to Japan, where interest in caffeine-free, plant-based rituals continues to grow. It’s also part of the story we’re bringing to Paris this October, where Rhymba Hills will showcase its award-winning range to a European audience discovering Malaysian botanical infusion for the first time.
How to Enjoy AntyOxy
For the best experience, we recommend steeping AntyOxy for 5–7 minutes in freshly boiled water, allowing the cinnamon and turmeric to fully release their colour and aroma. Many enjoy it in the evening as a warming, caffeine-free alternative to traditional tea, though its comforting profile makes it just as suited to a slow morning ritual.
