WHOA. I was expecting a hit of ginger with this tea, but this is UBER GINGER INCARNATE.

Not that that’s a bad thing. I’m just glad that I didn’t follow the instructions on the package – they recommended using 1 cup of hot water per packet, but I used 2 cups instead. Even with double the amount of liquid, it is still a giant ginger tsunami.

Whenever I go to Spring Rolls, I almost always get their ginger tea, and have tried for years to figure out what they put in it. This tastes pretty much exactly the same, so that’s one less thing to worry about!

Seriously. This is ginger-iffic.

I don’t know if “tea” is the right word for this. It wasn’t a teabag with leaf inside it. Instead it was this crystallized powder that you just add hot water to.

I’m surprised by how much I like this, and it did help my stomach last night, so I’m considering finding some more.

Ah I think I’ve had it somewhere as well. Where did you find it?

Christina / BooksandTea

I picked it up from the Great Canadian Travelling Tea Box. I think Lala was the one who put it in there…

OMGsrsly

There are lots of brands of these types of drinks. I love them, especially for walks on cold days. :) I don’t think I’ve had a bad one yet.

Sounds uberly hydrating as well :)

Christina / BooksandTea

I don’t know about the hydrating part – it was so sweet that I made a cup of herbal tea afterwards to balance it out.

Wow that’s a lotta honey to be that sweet. Love me some honey :P

Updated March 2016:

I’m a writer and editor who’s fallen in love with loose-leaf tea. I’ve also set up a site for tea reviews at http://www.booksandtea.ca – an excellent excuse to keep on buying and trying new blends. There will always be more to discover!

In the meantime, since joining Steepster in January 2014, I’ve gotten a pretty good handle on my likes and dislikes

Likes: Raw/Sheng pu’erh, sobacha, fruit flavours, masala chais, jasmine, mint, citrus, ginger, Ceylons, Chinese blacks, rooibos.

Dislikes (or at least generally disinclined towards): Hibiscus, rosehip, chamomile, licorice, lavender, really vegetal green teas, shu/ripe pu’erh.

Things I generally decide on a case-by-case basis: Oolong, white teas.

Still need to do my research on: matcha

I rarely score teas anymore, but if I do, here’s the system I follow:

100-85: A winner!
84-70: Pretty good. This is a nice, everyday kind of tea.
69-60: Decent, but not up to snuff.
59-50: Not great. Better treated as an experiment.
49-0: I didn’t like this, and I’m going to avoid it in the future. Blech.
