Green Ginger from Tazo
49

“Natural flavors” does not constitute “pear”. Whatever, I’m picky about what’s on the back of the box. I don’t even taste pear, anyway.

I’ll only drink this one iced. It’s refreshing when its cold and reminds me of a Dark ‘n Stormy (Gosling’s dark rum, Gosling’s or Saranac ginger beer, ginger and lime simple syrup, wedge of lime). If you haven’t tried one, please do. I might just try and make one with this tea.

If you drink this warm, there’s something about it that’s off-putting. The ginger is too faint and there’s too much emphasis lemongrass. Its got a bergamot intensity when it should be crisp and clean. Ginger is light and has a zing to it, its not oily and deep, like this tea makes it. Hence, why I ice it; it calms down and is sweet and clean.

Hey.

Tea has changed my life. First it was Lipton green tea at work. That evolved into Stash, to Tazo, then to Steve Smith teas. I started wandering down the tea aisle in Wegman’s and started picking things off the shelf. Went to my local Teavana and talked with a very nice girl who answered all my (probably stupid) questions and then picked up Silver Needle and Dragonwell teas. Bought a book called “The Tea Drinker’s Handbook” and started looking at various tea distributor websites. Found Steepster. Life altered.

I bring tea to parties for a nice drink before a beer or two. I drink it with breakfast and in the late hours of the night. It wakes me up and calms me down. It feels like a friend who I want to tell everyone about yet keep them all to myself. I love the history of it, the intimacy of it, the entire world of it.

Favs: Love me some white tea. Blends are okay when sharing with people but when I’m alone or have the late night blues, then Silver Needle it is. Matcha for when I need to calm down while making it and to refocus after I drink it. I like more delicate green teas rather than the potent and grassy ones. Until I find a black tea that blows me out of the water, I’m not really focused on them right now. I’m still learning about oolongs and pu’erh’s.

About me: I have two Masters degrees (Education and creative writing), write short stories, draw a comic strip and have ridden my bicycle across the country alone.
