Gingerbread Spice from Celestial Seasonings

Mercuryhime drank Gingerbread Spice by Celestial Seasonings

I saw this displayed at my local grocery store. I’m a bit peeved at them for not having the holiday teas until after the holidays but better late than never. I was hoping for sugar cookie but there wasn’t any.

This needs a loooong steep to taste good. At 5 mins it was pure ginger. Medicinal. I left the bag in as I sipped and then the cinnamon came forward. Mmm cinnamon. Then a sweetness developed. Nice. Needs some other spices to be real gingerbread but this is ok. Not my favorite, but I’ll drink it.

Sorry you didn’t like this one. I loved it. I thought the ginger was the main note, but it was good.

I have Sugar Cookie, but for some reason I haven’t tried it yet….guess that’s what I’m having tonight.

I do love ginger but I’m beginning to think that fresh or pickled is the only way to go. Dried just doesn’t do it for me. :(

True. I just seem to love ginger in my teas. I have a few ginger flavored teas that I adore & this is one of them.

Profile

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…
