Had this as an after-dinner tea, since ginger is warming, and it’s freaking snowing here(this never happens!). It’s a nice lemony-ginger, with the spice of the ginger giving it a nice bite. I had to add sugar, but that’s ok with me as I like sweet teas anyway :) It was fresh and bright, and great for an evening tea. Stash is not one of my favorite brands, and this was a gift, several packets in a knitting swap box from a dear friend, so I thought to give it a go. I’m glad I did- it’s good!

brief hint of juicy lemon followed by a strong ginger bite. This is definitely ginger tea with a hint of lemon, NOT lemon tea with a hint of ginger. So be warned: Must Love Ginger.

It is EXACTLY what I was hoping for , but not expecting. :-)

I had this with lunch at my favorite cafe and it was very refreshing. It’s not the best lemon ginger tea in the world, but it’s one of the best you can get in a bag in a restaurant. It always warms me up and today was a little chilly. It’s lemon with a little bit of ginger bite too it, but not too much.

I actually really like this! My coworker introduced this to me. I probably would not have purchased this if left to my own devices. There’s definitely a nice lemony brightness and lots of spicy ginger. There’s also a bit of hibiscus in this, but it works here. This an example of hibiscus done right. A perfection of taste and convenience. Not to mention that its good for a variety of ills. :)

Every now and then I crave some good herbal tea along with a bag a kettle cooked jalapeno crisps.

Lemon Ginger it was today…And I was really glad that the lemon did not come out too strong. The ginger was soothing but not overly spicy.

Great start to a great day.

Pleased :)

Great combination of lemon and ginger flavor. This is a great tea for when you have a cold – the ginger makes you feel a bit less stuffy. It’s been a while since I had it, but I think longer steeping times increased the ginger flavor without anything getting weird. I have wished that stash had a plain ginger herbal tea, though, as I get tired of lemon flavor sometimes.

I don’t taste lemon at all really, but I don’t care since I actually bought it for the ginger, which is nice and strong! I am pleased with this tea.

The lemon and ginger flavors seem to be pretty evenly balanced in this tea. I love lemon tea and the ginger is a nice addition. I don’t drink this too frequently, but it’s nice for a weekday evening when I need something hot and decaf.

Ginger is very strong. I really don’t like lemon in my tea, but I like this. The lemon is in the background in this blend.

Strong lemon flavor and when steeped over five minutes a nice spicy ginger flavor emerges. Not a daily drinker, but for the occasional sore throat and stuffy nose, this seems to clear it up nicely.

Tasting this again today and REALLY DIGGING IT with a teaspoon of sugar added in an 11 ounce steep. Wow, the spice meshes well with the sweetness.

My favorite Lemon Ginger tea EVER. My husband calls this “stinky tea”. It smells very strong and potent. The flavor has a bite and is really zippy on your tongue. It has a warm feeling/aftertaste in your throat too. If you don’t like the warmth of ginger you won’t like this tea, but if you are a fan of ginger you will probably love it. Just enough lemon without being too lemony.
I drink it black with a touch of honey.

A pretty darn solid tea with a strong ginger taste! My friend actually recommended this to me when I had a lingering tummy ache and it really did help ease the nauseousness. I imagine it’d be good for colds as well!

MAN MY GRANDPARENTS MAKE TOO MUCH FOOD FOR MY TINY TUMMY TO HOLD and that makes it hurt and then I end up drinking this again. THIS TEA IS SO REFRESHING I really do like it it’s kinda growing on me more and more.

Got myself a bit of a tummy ache and a major headache tonight, so this was the tea of choice! I’m already feeling a little better. Strong snappy ginger seems to do a lot of good for me, and I like that little added lemon flavor!

Fun fact: I boiled my water in a coffee pot, since I’m at a hotel, and the first time the water smelled pretty strong of coffee SOOO I did it again and the 2nd time it wasn’t too bad. I CAN’T TASTE IT, in any case.

last bag of herbal tea in my house, here goes nothing

This is a tisane that I cannot drink plain. The lemon flavor is just too overpowering. The ingredients on the website lists “lemon flavoring” along with the lemongrass. I think they should have left out the “flavoring” and just have stuck with the natural flavor of the lemongrass. That said, mix a pinch with your morning breakfast tea, and you add a nice zest to your morning.

The lemon sort of takes a backseat to the ginger, but it’s still a good cuppa. It went very well with a sweet dessert.

Woah, this tea has some serious pucker power – it basically tastes like slightly diluted lemon juice at first and then you get a viscous kick from the ginger that leaves a burning sensation in my throat. No subtleties in this blend!

Unless I was eating something sickly sweet this isn’t a tea that I’d actively seek out.

I LOVE this tea. I brew it strong by microwave and it is so good with honey. No other ginger tea I ever tried had the really zippy ginger bite I love.

Strong lemongrass flavor rather than ginger in my experience. The ginger came out only at the end, despite the fact that it is listed as the first ingredient. I enjoyed it more than some other lemony teas I have tried but found it rather astringent and may reserve it for days when my sinuses need a little wake-up call.

I steeped about 3 minutes.

OK, this was the day my sinuses needed a little assist, as I mentioned in my first tea note. Also, a couple of days ago I logged Yogi Ginger, so it’s an apt time for a comparison.

First, re: the sinuses. It is not necessary to actually sip the tea for it to have a beneficial effect on said sinuses. Merely sniffing the gingery steam has helped enormously. ;)

Secondly, the taste experience. I find it interesting that the aroma is strongly ginger for me, but when I taste it it’s still overwhelmingly lemony-lemongrass with a spicy ginger afterbite.

Verdict: the Yogi tea was soothing to the tum, the Stash tea is soothing to the respiratory system. Each has a place on my shelf, and a distinctive flavor despite very similar ingredients, and I’m raising my initial rating on the Stash tea.

One question remains. The box says it “Contains: soy.” I don’t have any sensitivity to soy, but others may. I can’t figure out where that’s coming from among the listed ingredients, which are “ginger root, lemongrass, lemon flavor, safflower, hibiscus, and citric acid.”
