Turmeric Ginger from Rishi Tea
5

Soooooo NOT a combo I would reach for in a store…but…I’m game…BRING IT ON!

VERY intensely scented/flavored Turmeric AND Ginger…thankfully I can smell a little Orange.

After infusing – the wet mix in my strainer looks much like TOFU SCRAMBLE I have made in the past…ironically one of the ingredients is TURMERIC. Anyhow…the liquid is texture-E. I’m ‘chalking it up’ (no pun intended) to the turmeric. I can smell the ginger mostly.

This tastes of Ginger – overly, intensely, and obnoxiously-so. So-much-so I can’t drink it. It’s very peppery. It’s chalky.

BLAH.

Sorry Rishi…NOT liking this one…

Down the drain – the rest of it goes…

On to the next!

I know…overall I like turmeric IN stuff like Curry and Tofu, but so far not fond of it in tea…sigh…

you are such a liar, that pun was totally intended :P
I’ve never been able to get much taste out of turmeric, I mostly just get chalk out of it as well – I guess that’s why you want to combine it with spices that have more personality and something with a distinctive texture of it’s own.

I just came up w/ a scary idea… LiberTeas wants tomato green tea… How about a Hot Dog matcha… turmeric, tomato (ketchup and mustard) bacon flavoring to echo the hot dog and cucumber and vinegar flavoring to echo pickles…

Huh, I was debating whether or not to sample this for for Mike’s tea review blog – I’m glad I gave it a pass in end. D:
