Author Biography

Tanita's simple approach to health and wellbeing is predominantly inspired by her eclectic upbringing, and travels throughout Southeast Asia. Tanita became enamoured with the volcanic islands of Indonesia a few years ago, and quickly became hooked on turmeric tonic. Soon after returning, she began making the golden liquid, from her flat in London. By 25, she founded her own tonics business, known as the Jamu Kitchen.
