Ginger has been well researched and is known as a common remedy for nausea and indigestion. It is also anti-viral and makes a soothing cold and flu remedy. Our ginger root is a pure and natural ginger root with no added ingredients. Whether you need ginger to heal an ailment or simply want to sip on relaxing cup, there’s nothing like the real thing!

This is a really surprising tisane. I expected this to come off as very spicy-hot-peppery, but it really isn’t quite as STRONG (and by strong, I mean “this is so overwhelmingly ginger-y that I can’t drink it, strong”) as I thought it would be. It is very calming and comforting (I’ve been battling a stomach ailment over the last couple of days), and I’m finding this to be extremely calming to my stomach. I like it a lot! It’s simple and pure, but, sometimes, that’s just perfect.

I totally agree with LiberTEAs on this one…check out her notes…

I really was nervous on trying this one but it is by far the BEST stand-alone ginger(root) infusion I have ever had!!! Nicely done, indeed!

Backlogging from yesterday!

It’s just dried ginger bits. I love ginger. There isn’t anything in the world that wouldn’t taste good with some ginger in it. I dare any of you to name a food that wouldn’t be good with ginger.
Moving on… I love the smell of this. I usually make ginger tea by grating fresh ginger and pouring boiling water over it, but I recognize the convenience of a dried ginger. I’m glad I got this shipment before Thanksgiving because I was planning on making a stomach easing after dinner drink with ginger, mint and lemon grass. Or maybe minus the mint since some people don’t like mint (how can you not like mint?). But first, I want to try the ginger on its own.

I gotta say. I’m a little sad. I might have put in too much ginger, but the package doesn’t offer any suggestions. It’s nice and spicy which is great, but it’s also bitter and medicinal. I don’t think I can drink this without honey.

Okay, I just watered it down a bit and now it tastes better. I used too much ginger. I’ll know better for next time. This will probably be better in a blend. It’s super convenient for tummy problems, but I’ll stick to fresh ginger when I can.

Sore throat and sniffles for the past couple of days. :( Since I can’t taste anything, I haven’t been able to enjoy any food or drink, but ginger’s warmth can’t be hidden by a mere stuffy nose. The slight burn on my sore throat deludes me into thinking that I’m burning away the germs. It’s pleasant and hot and relaxing. I added some honey so that there would be a contrast between the burny and the sweet. I can’t detect flavor, but the taste and sensations are pleasant.

Now I’m craving something minty. Maybe it’ll help cool my throat.

Iced mixed with apple cider. Perfection.
