I bought this by mistake, thinking it was the Stash blend (the boxes are both yellow) what a huge disappointment!
WAAY too lemony. Almost tastes like hot lemonade. Where is the ginger?
Yuck.
34 Tasting Notes
My favorite Lemon Ginger tea EVER. My husband calls this “stinky tea”. It smells very strong and potent. The flavor has a bite and is really zippy on your tongue. It has a warm feeling/aftertaste in your throat too. If you don’t like the warmth of ginger you won’t like this tea, but if you are a fan of ginger you will probably love it. Just enough lemon without being too lemony.
I drink it black with a touch of honey.
I bought this tea because I’m a huge Earl Grey fan and thought I would like to try the “sister” tea. I find this tea to be “meh”. I’ve brewed it a couple times, thinking I would learn to appreciate it, but nope. Still “meh”. Not great, doesn’t totally suck. I would say it’s too light, not enough body, and too heavy on the lemony flavor.
Another standard tea in my pantry! I drink this tea all Winter long. It’s spicy from the ginger and refreshing thanks to the mint. Great when you have a tummy ache or when you need a zippy warm up. I love it all times of the day, in the morning with a bagel, or at night on the couch after dinner. PLUS you can get it at Panera!
With the bagged tea I don’t worry about the steeping time and just leave the bag in the cup/mug and drink it down as the tea cools. If I brew it loose by the pot I don’t steep longer than 6 minutes or so.
Sometimes I sweeten with honey, sometimes with sugar and sometimes not at all depending on my mood. It’s good all three ways.
This is the perfect Ginger Peach tea. I don’t think anything else comes close and I’ve tried every ginger peach blend I can get my hands on. I drink this all Summer long both hot and iced and it’s one that my pantry is never out of! I love that I can get it at Panera!
If you’re drinking the bagged version (say if you get it at Panera) there is no need to worry about a steep time. I’ve left the bag in, and just drank the tea even as it cooled. You can not ruin this tea no matter what you do to it!
I love this tea! It smells heavenly and brews up a nice fruity light cup of tea. I wish it was more available locally. I used to be able to get it at Target but no more. I have ordered it online because I like it so much, but tend to nurse the box along so I don’t run out.
It’s a bagged tea, so I don’t really worry about oversteeping. I just leave the bag in the mug. I don’t even use a teacup for this one.
Oh yes!
Robust, malty with a dry lip smacking finish! An excellent morning blend!
I drink it with sweetener and milk. I use coconut milk not dairy milk and my friends who have tried it this way say it’s nearly as good.
One thing I can say about this tea is if you over steep it, then it can get a bit gross. You want to not really go over 5 minutes TOPS on the steeping time.
One word. NASTY. Tastes like shampoo. Hot shampoo.
I love this darjeeling! I would call it a medium body tea which is delicious hot or iced. (Actually, I only make iced tea with this particular tea)I have sampled many different darjeelings, and while there are some which could be called “better” this particular tea is my “go-to” darjeeling. It’s great in the afternoon, served with fresh fruit or baked goods. I have also had this as an evening tea. The only time I will brew a darjeeling in the morning is if I’ve had coffee, or some other tea which didn’t hit me right, and I need to follow up with a favorite old friend.
Drink this tea black with or without sweetener. Don’t oversteep!
I can not live without this tea! It’s ALWAYS on hand! It’s a lovely Earl Grey, with a nice touch of lavender. Not overpowering on the lavender, just enough to make it slightly different and more exotic than ordinary Earl Grey. If you like Earl Grey and you like Lavender, you MUST try this tea. I know you will fall in love!
I bring my water to a rolling boil and steep a full five minutes. Sometimes I forget and go over five minutes, but as with all Earl Grey teas, it just gets a bit stronger and remains very very nice.
