Green Ginger

This was my morning cup and it was a nice one. I am partial to green tea and I like that this one is light and not bitter. I HATE bitterness in tea and in some teas you just can’t get away from it so it’s a relief when I don’t have to deal with that kind of drama. Haha
The ginger is balanced with the green tea and it has a little hit of pear in the mix which I was nervous about but I actually enjoy it. All in all, a good, balanced, refreshing cup of tea to start my day off right!

I won’t rate this one since it appears to be quite old. I got it from either a swap or the tea box, so thanks to the person who included it! Hmm yeah this tastes like a very old green tea. The ginger comes in faintly at the end of the sip. Before that, it just tastes like strong, old tea. Honestly, I could probably drink this whole cup, but it’s not worth the caffeine. I’m sure when it was fresh, it was better (but it gets pretty terrible reviews, so maybe not too much better). I prefer a strong ginger, so it doesn’t sound like it would be my thing anyway. Oh well, I’ll make myself a cup of something else.

I love how you pick up the taste of GingerI also like the low key flavor of the pear you pick up as a flavor note after finishing your cup

Green tea usually isn’t my favorite tea but I find I really enjoy this tea. On days when I’m not feeling my best or when I need some energy I usually make this tea. The ginger is strong enough to cut through my dulled tastebuds and fuzziness when I’m sick but not overpowering to where I can’t enjoy this tea on a regular day. The ginger gives me a sense of energy and revitalization.

Kind coworkers continuing to prop me up with thoughtful words and boxes of tea; I know it’s a blessing to consider the folks you work with as extended family and don’t take it lightly!

So this was yesterday’s prop. And an interesting one it was, too. Definitely leads with the ginger, then the lemongrass, and pear? Well, your tastebuds have to hunt a little to find it, but it’s there. Thinking this will be refreshing chilled/iced.

A coworker gave me a box of these tea bags, and I really like it! I was on a self-imposed caffeine reduction thing for a few days, and this was perfect. I had to laugh when my coworker told me it tasted like dirt. I think it taste like pears!

I’ve blended my own lemongrass and ginger before, but this simple offering is far above my blend.

I drink a lot of green tea, and a lot of ginger tea, but this combo didn’t do it for me — I think because of the “hint of pear.” I don’t really like pear, and somehow despite having mostly “bitter” ingredients, this came out tasting too sweet for me. It wasn’t horrible, but not something I’d be interested in drinking again.

I have a fairly good sized tea collection, but find myself reaching for this everyday. It’s a grat twist on a traditional green tea, with just a subthe hint of ginger and a note of pear.

This tea isn’t bad. It can be nice with other foods with oriental flavors. I don’t find this tea to be anything to get excited about, is all. It is green and it is ginger, no more or less.

Simple. The ginger is prominent and I feel like this would make a good sick tea.
