Mercuryhime drank Organic Ginger Root by Element Tea

Sore throat and sniffles for the past couple of days. :( Since I can’t taste anything, I haven’t been able to enjoy any food or drink, but ginger’s warmth can’t be hidden by a mere stuffy nose. The slight burn on my sore throat deludes me into thinking that I’m burning away the germs. It’s pleasant and hot and relaxing. I added some honey so that there would be a contrast between the burny and the sweet. I can’t detect flavor, but the taste and sensations are pleasant.

Now I’m craving something minty. Maybe it’ll help cool my throat.

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
