Ginger Lemon Grass (Fair Trade Certified)

Green Tea by The Republic of Tea

The Far East’s most popular cup. Ginger from Asia, lemon grass from Malaysia, with a base of fine green teas. Ginger and lemon grass both aid in digestion, while green tea is plentiful in healthful properties.

The Republic of Tea Fair Trade Certified Tea provides an additional pro-active premium paid directly to tea estate workers in addition to the fair wage paid to them in the garden. This premium is used in ways workers themselves deem beneficial, improving their opportunities to better housing, healthcare and education.

This is a decent tea. It seems forgiving … I steeped it for 2 minutes and it didn’t get bitter. I’m partial to lemon grass and ginger and the fact that this is fair trade! Good tea overall.

This tea is okay. I oversteeped it so the ginger was overpowering. I am not really the biggest fan of lemon or ginger but it was a decent green tea.

Another free sample. Apparently I have had it before, but I don’t remember. It is okay. I am not sure that I am a huge fan of lemongrass. There is something about it that tastes off to me. Almost grain like in flavor. It was a decent afternoon cup of tea though.

This is one of my favorite teas to drink, I especially enjoy the complexity of how both the lemon grass and ginger are vying for my attention. Also has a great aroma!

Tasted the lemon grass most prominently. Only purchased a single bag, won’t purchase the tin.

I only taste the green tea. However, that may be because my package is 2 years old.
