GINGER TEA is a spicy blend of ginger and African CTC black tea. This tea has a mild mouthfeel and crisp flavor, and is also great for making milk/chai tea. *This tea contains caffeine.

OMG – a moment of Steepster not being bogged down. Quick – to post my tasting note!
Well the other review that is listed here was quite dismal but I thought this stuff was terrific. Honestly, I have no idea if there is anything in it aside from black tea and ginger root which I probably could have made myself.
Anyway, it works for me. I love ginger and the black tea base is rich and dessert-like. I checked out the wet leaves and it looks like a CTC assam or something similar. I had a ton of ginger bits in my loose leaf bag and the other taster did not so perhaps tea bags are just not the way to go with this one. Spicy, zingy and flavorful. I had some after lunch and it is squelching my post-salad sweet tooth. I will definitely want to keep this one around. Sometimes simplicity is the essence of perfection, isn’t it?
My second tea from The Book of Tea. I was looking forward to a really spicy and sugary cup – just like Chinese ginger tea (a tisane consisting of brown sugar and ginger chunks only) – but of course it was nothing like that, for this was a spiced black tea after all. But still the ginger flavour was disappointingly mild after readjusting my expectations, perhaps because there were only 2 tiny ginger pieces in my tea bag! A tea that would be easily forgotten as there was nothing really remarkable about it.
This is not a sipdown, but I missed ginger day so decided to start with some this morning.
What intrigues me most is in my first note I said I liked this better than Orange Chocolat, but I rated this lower? Obviously a mistake. I am going to have some Orange Chocolat now to validate.
I do like the soft gingery flavor of this and am bumping its rating a tad.
Haha that’s what I’m doing too!
must write quickly… lol!
I’ve been writing my reviews in a word processor and would then attack Steepster when I have the chance!
@Incendiare – I have seriously been considering that too!
@Incendiare – Likewise. If tomorrow during the day is bad again, I’m just going to avoid Steepster until the late evening. It seems quick enough now.
ahhh I missed that window! but it seems to be ok now. To bad I haven’t had my morning tea yet!
MMMMMM…….Ginger. :))
I usually do tranfer my reviews from a WP, or “right click” COPY my reviews on Steepster now, before I submit a review. That way if they don’t post, I can just PASTE the review and resubmit it. :))
Seriously, what is up with Steepster?? I’m dying for my tea friends!
