My stomach feels a bit uneasy so I decided to try this and see if it helps.

The flavor is quite nice. The ginger is a little spicy, but not overpowering. I can’t really taste much from the rooibos, perhaps a little bit of the woody/nutty taste in the background but it is certainly not a dominant presence. There is a sweet taste to this too that really makes this very yummy. It’s a lot sweeter than I thought it would be.

It’s really quite pleasant and as far as my stomach goes, I think it’s doing the job!

This is interesting! It’s Gingery but the Rooibos cuts the harshness a little and I like that! It has a certain herbal/medicinal type taste to it that is somewhat surprising for flavored rooibos but seems to work real well here! There is a nice sweetness to it that almost tastes a little citrusy to me. This is pretty good and a Ginger I can handle! Nicely done! Special thanks to LiberTEAs for this one!

Well this was an interesting one that I couldn’t wait to try. I love all things ginger and thought that this was going to be a good mix, spicy and woodsy.

When I opened up the baggie it smelled kind of lemony with ginger… I couldn’t place the smell but it seemed familar. I brewed it up and it was such a beautiful deep red color. Another whiff and the ginger was bit more pronounced.
First taste and it was really mellow smooth, smoother than other Rooibos, I didn’t get the woodsy taste at all it was a citrusy with a bit of ginger not the spicey ginger but more of a candied ginger.

After a few sips I finally placed the smell, it smells like a Ricola lemon cough drop :) Once I figured that out it was kind of hard to get past the smell. The taste is good just the smell that got to me!
