Doesn’t stand out to me, but not bad. Basically meh. If I concentrate on the flavors, I can taste them all, but not something I’d go out of my way to pick up.

Wow… A site for tea drinkers…
I used to drink this solely as a vehicle for ginger, because the blend was incredibly astringent and left a stale taste in your mouth.
ginger smell is very strong and too overwhelming. does make me feel good but the taste is overpowered by ginger.. don’t really taste the pear. it’s an ohkay tea in my opinion
Super weak, barely any flavor, not much smell either except for a strange, sweet mustiness – and not in a good way.
I’m new to Tea, but very much like this in the afternoons after lunch.
This tea always puts me in a very mellow mood, the smell it gives off is my favorite part about it other than the taste.
It’s strange. I can surely taste the ginger and the pear…
but together it tastes like tap water.
It’s not bad if I drink it mindlessly while I’m studying or writing, but
if I actually try to have a ‘tea-moment’ (hahah) then it starts to taste like soap.
tap water soap and swimming pool water. oh nos
The ginger notes are light and I can barely taste the pear. I usually add a bit of brown sugar.
I thought the tea tasted OK. There was a very strong ginger taste, almost overwhelming. If I didn’t like ginger I think it would have been too strong. A friend had given me a few packets because my stomach had been upset. I can’t say that the tea helped, but it didn’t hurt.
This tea is not particularly soothing to my palate … the ginger is too strong and I have no idea what they mean when they say hints of pear … the pear is pretty non-existent. It is excellent for settling motion sickness, morning sickness, or any other sort of nausea, however, and I drank it often while pregnant.
The spiciness of the ginger is a little different, but I really liked it. Great for cold weather.

I’ve been trying to like this one, as I like all the flavors in it individually. So it stands to reason I’d like the combination, no? Though it has grown on me over time (and with better water and better steeping rigor), I generally find the ginger spice overpowering and though I can smell the pear, I can’t taste it. I can’t really taste the green tea either, except very lightly in the finish. But the little bite at the tip of my tongue from the ginger spice is kind of interesting…

This isn’t awful, but I’ve been looking forward to finishing off this box for awhile. I doubt I’ll purchase this one again. The ginger overpowers the other flavors of this tea.

This is by far my favorite bagged tea although as a rule I MUCH prefer loose leaf. I steep 1 bag in 6oz. of purified water heated at 175 degrees F. Even though most greens say to steep for 2-3 min, I like this tea stronger so I steep it for 5. Also amazing chilled or iced using extra green ginger tea for ice cubes. I don’t sweeten this hot or chilled.
I use it all the time for smoothTEAS: steep 2 tea bags in 6oz of purified water heated to 175 degrees for 3-5 min. Let cool and refrigerate. Poor in blended and add 1 cup frozen unsweetened fruit.
To make a home made version of Green Tea Ginger Ale, place 1 tea bag for each desired 6 ounce serving in large bowl and pour 175 degree temperature water over the tea bags just enough to steep. Steep for desired length and pour tea concentrate into a container of desired capacity and top off with carbonated water.
My favorite offering from Tazo. A little fruity, a little spicy, a little bitter. A perfect balance.
Looks like piss. Smells like Lemon Pinesol. Why did I taste it? It’s like lemony ginger water. Yughhh.
