This came as a sample in a holiday gift Lexa ordered for me (I guess I’ll have new tea under the tree this year :P).
The dry sachet smells intensely of ginger. The steeped tea smells a bit nicer to me with ginger still being the dominant note, but some other spices and maybe a hint of what I can consider a tea-ified gingerbread cookie.
Drinking this hot and the ginger is much more muted in the drink, which is nice, but I can’t decipher any of the other ingredients. I am enjoying this tea, but I couldn’t tell you why haha. On the upside, I actually forgot this was a rooibos base at all, which is an excellent thing. What a fascinating experience!
Lex just tasted my cup and despised it haha!
As the tea cooled, it became more and more almost perfumily ginger. I actually ended up dumping the last of my cup. No thank you.

Very true!And still always happy to try out anything new — it’s never a bad thing to not have so much tea to order XD.
This is one that I got as a sample sachet in a previous order, and I liked it so much that I ordered a huge tin of it the next time. Unfortunately, I no longer loved it quite so much, so that wasn’t the most fun to finish.
Oh no! Well at least it was only a single sachet. ;)

Oh I LOVE this one, but ginger is one of my hated ingredients, so that’s weird.
That is bizarre!
