Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea

This is my go-to tea when I’m having a bad day. It’s easy, it doesn’t require me to think or do anything special or even pay attention while I’m making it. I resteep it and it stays good. I think someone else described it as taking abuse well – and that’s be best way to describe it. I can use boiling water or water straight from my tap and it still does the job. It doesn’t have a particularly strong taste…but it’s warm and comforting. Better than some of the other Tetley varieties I’ve tried that seem to be bland without any redeeming qualities.

Not one of my favourite teas ever, but definitely one of my standbys.

I tend to abuse this tea, fill a travel mug with a teabag in, and keep on refilling it as the day goes on. Perhaps not the best way to enjoy the tea, and I should give it a proper tasting one of these days, but I can say that it holds up to the abuse quite well, and I enjoy it during my classes after it’s had time to well oversteep.

On a whim for ginseng, I decided to try this tea at first with a timid drop of added honey (a mixture of raw and buckwheat honey) and it has a delicate yet very full flavour. Coming in from the cold outside and it still being what I consider the morningtime; it’s a most perfect reviver!
