Somewhere along the line, my tastebuds have changed because I used to really dislike any tea with ginger in it and now I really enjoy it. Funny how that happens!
I’ve been nursing a cold since last Friday night and have burned through my remaining stash of Davids Organic Cold 911 so I desperately needed something that was going to help soothe my raw vocal chords (I’ve currently lost my voice) and this seems to be doing the trick.
A soothing, smooth ginger, tempered with just a faint hint of sweetness. Simple and comforting and all I really want right now. Thank heavens for small mercies!

A lighter flavor than the regular throat coat, this is great for those days when your throat is a little dry and have some nasal drip bothering you. Not as potent as the regular flavor, but it also tastes better.

drank some of this before bed last night. It is pretty bitter and herbal, but it is good for those days I just feel a little run down. Serves its purpose.

Preparation
I love PNW peppermint but y’all probably know that by now. Because of the fresh blast of mint, I would have never guessed there to be green tea in this bag. The peppermint already has a thick sweetness but the green tea does this awesome texture thing that makes the tea almost buttery-chewy and satisfying. The menthol from the mint really cools me down — it comes out of my ears, chest and armpits after a short time and can linger for a couple hours.
Like a buttermint on steroids.

Happy-making post.
Yes, this is good news! :)
I have a soft spot for farmers :) As to this brand, a friend brought me a couple boxes of their straight-up peppermint and it is definitely strong and effective!
Derk, I tried to send you a pm and for some reason, even though I follow you here, I cannot send you a note. Would you send me one?
Thank you derk for those two tea bags. Nice addition to my collection!
However, in taste it is rather boring. There is nothing that says it is Darjeeling for me and the lemon taste is rather lemongrass.
Somehow too simple. I know I did steep only for 5 minutes while they suggest 10, but I didn’t wanted to have tannic and bitter cup.
Flavors: Lemongrass
Preparation
A 10-minute steep! Can you imagine haha.
10 minutes with Darjeeling would turn it into paint thinner or kitchen cleaner!
I sent this to you solely for collection purpose. Please don’t feel obligated to drink the other one!
I may give it to a guest. It’s very mild so, it will be welcomed by some.
The lemon and ginger here is soothing and easily drinkable. Don’t know about the medicinal benefits of the tea but I’d drink this if I had a cold. I do prefer gypsy cold care, but this is nice for a change of pace. And I always like tea with a message on the string :)
