Loving this spice! As with all my breakfast teas, I added a splash of milk and a little sugar. I was expecting a very harsh ginger, but this one is really nice! It’s not overpowering, it’s not musty, it’s even fresh tasting and a bit spicy! Yum! I agree with another rating- the ginger is sparkling. Can’t taste the black tea quite as much as I’d like, but that’s ok. For Stash, this is really good!

I made a cup of this tea to take to church this morning. I’m not particularly fond of ginger, but for some reason I like this tea. The ginger flavor isn’t too spicy or overwhelming and has more of a mellow, warming taste. I can imagine this would be a good tea for when you’re not feeling well. It’s actually a good cup to wake up with, and it held off my hunger until we got home and made brunch.

-Standard teabag.
-Teabag smells strongly of ginger. Tea liquor aroma is of malty ginger.
-Tea liquor is a cloudy medium brown color.
-Strong ginger flavor and finish. Small spicy aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. Mellow and warming ginger flavor. Not too spicy.

I don’t know why, but I’m still surprised that I like ginger. I really like it in this tea. It is strong, but not overpowering. The black tea is good. Strong enough to hold it’s own with the ginger. I did put a little sweetener in my cup, but I think it would be just as good without it. I’ll get back to you on that one.

Today I have two sick kids tucked under blankets. Everyone in my house has a sore throat, and we are all grumpy. This made the choice for my morning pot of tea an easy one. I’m so glad I had this in the house today. Everyone enjoys it, and with a spoonful of honey stirred in it helps sooth scratchy throats. If today has to be bad at least the tea is good!

I keep a pot of this on the go all day long. Smooth China (?) black tea, not malty, with bright and sparkly real ginger. Warms you as you drink it. Excellent for an upset stomach or headache.

2 bags for a 500mL travel mug, drunk bare.

Another delight for a rainy morning drive. A dependable, really tasty ginger black tea that takes the chill out of the pouring rain. Practically screams to be simmered in milk on the stove with from cinammon black tea. Forgives a long steep — really good black tea base.

3 bags for a 1L pot, drunk bare (no milk of sweetener).

A really smooth and deliciously gingery black tea blend. Very resilient, too; today’s cup was re-heated in the microwave but still tasted fresh. Three bags is a little light for the volume of water, but my mom-in-law and I leave the bags in. This tea does not get bitter, even when the bags are left in overnight and the tea heated up again in the morning. Wish it came loose.

Superb on its own. Versatile enough to add to a custom chai brew. Excellent ginger flavour. Mellow black tea flavour. Just fabulous.

Great breakfast tea with a nice ginger flavor that is not too overwhelming. After trying this one, breakfast tea without ginger just has not been the same.

Goes great with pancakes…just don’t let it steep too long.

I love this tea. It’s spicy and snappy without going over the top. This would be a good introduction to ginger for the curious.

5 min in boiling water gives a medium amber liquid which is slightly hazy. Smells great. Added sweetener and milk, still plenty of tea and ginger flavor. The ginger is strong enough but does not bite. I find that ginger settles the tummy.

This tea is becoming a standard for me. Milk and sweetener work well with the ginger, but it still makes its presence known through piquant flavor and lasting warmth.
