I’ve never been a fan of ginger in teas. I like ginger in food but found in teas it’s way too potent. The only exception so far has been when I’m sick I will drink a ginger tea. Now if this tea hadn’t gotten some wonderful reviews I would have steered clear of it and what a shame that would have been. I knew I had to try it when I read the great reviews.

I could definitely smell the ginger from the dry leaf in the bag. It was very subtle and I could also smell the milkiness from the Jin Xuan. Pretty much how it smelled dry is what I was in store for when it was brewed.

From the aroma cup I caught a ginger scent that was quickly followed by the milky/butter aroma. When I took a sip, it was like WOW! First the ginger hits my tongue a sweet ginger, not overly strong but still prominent. Following that was the milky buttery taste and then a floral note. Every sip was like that: ginger, milky/creamy, floral.

So glad I got this tea. I just love it.

I’ve gotten one up and intend on getting the rest up soon. I haven’t even tried some of the new ones I ordered yet because I’ve been trying to review my Nannuoshan samples. I definitely will very soon. LOVE your teas!

Bio

Green teas are my favourite teas but I also enjoy: white, some herbal,rooibos, raw pu’erh, light oolongs, a little bit of black , and a little bit of ripe pu’erh. I have moved away from artificial flavourings and there’s hardly anything left in my cabinet with artificial flavouring or colours. It is mostly straight teas or tea blends.
