golden coffee

I see lots of references to "golden" coffee, but none in reference to turmeric. DTLHS (talk) 01:17, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

The first one is in a type of ad that looks like it was meant only for the online version, is less than a year old and refers to turmeric coffee as "the latest golden coffee craze". They're obviously not saying it's a thing that goes by the name of "golden coffee", but that it's a type of coffee that's golden in color- SOP. The other two are on websites, which don't count for CFI. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:29, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, sorry about that first one - not a cite. Still, the term seems to be "common" enough to pass CFI. https://www.google.com/search?num=100&client=firefox-b&q=%22golden+coffee%22+turmeric&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0hoLTlofdAhVNVH0KHVKsAnkQBQglKAA&biw=1408&bih=642 - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 02:43, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

If the term is common enough to pass CFI, you will need to provide some evidence. The Brit + Co link above is the only evidence I can find of "golden coffee" as a special term for turmeric + coffee. Everything else I see, like the "golden coffee craze" article, simply refers to coffee that is golden in color (SOP). Kiwima (talk) 03:28, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Right, I have looked further, and although it does seem that there is a drink called "golden coffee" which is coffee with turmeric, or coffee with "golden milk" (i.e. milk with turmeric), it also seems there are a lot of "golden" beverages - milk, latte, tea, chai, mocha, etc., all of which have turmeric added. So I suggest deleting "golden coffee" entry and just adding a def to golden "of a beverage, flavoured with turmeric." (which I have done) - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 06:07, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

I think the worst of it is that a selling point for the turmeric-based "golden" beverages is that there are purported health benefits supported by purported use in ayurvedic or folk medicine. There does not seem to be any direct evidence that there are any health benefits. DCDuring (talk) 10:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Well, it is a mild anti-inflammatory, which can be a benefit, eg to those with arthritis. Kiwima (talk) 00:05, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
