Where to Find Your Saffron Latte Fix in Orange County

The most expensive spice in the world is saffron… and there’s a reason for that. 

This mega superfood-spice is amazing at boosting your mood, increasing your libido, reducing your cravings, clearing your complexion, and strengthening your immune system. It carries powerful antioxidants which protect against infections, stress, and even some types of cancers. Long story short, saffron can do wonders for your body. In fact, studies have found just 30mg of saffron per day to be just as effective in treating bouts of depression as name brand antidepressants.

Wanting to make an impact in the mental health of our nation, our sister site, the fullest created their Saffron Latte Wellness Powder, that, when mixed with the milk of your choice, works instantly to increase levels of serotonin and dopamine in your body and has since become our new go-to beverage. Like, seriously, later coffee! Formulated using the most bioavailable methods possible, the Saffron Latte contains a whopping 150mg of saffron per serving, which basically ensures you’re about to have the Best. Day. Ever. 

And, that’s not all. It’s affordable and much cheaper than your daily run to the nearest mega-coffee chain. Win! Win! Win!
