Like I said on my profile, I’m pretty much obsessed with ginger. And this blend does not disappoint! Before it’s steeped, it smells almost like ginger salad dressing, much to my delight (though not sweet at all). After steeping, you can smell more of the pepper in the blend. The taste is dominated by ginger and pepper notes, which give the tea a nice spicy burn on the tongue. I also like the green rooibos— it has less of a medicinal taste to it than red rooibos, so it gives the blend a hint of vegetal sweetness. Make no mistake, though… This is a spicy savory tea, meant for ginger fanatics like myself. No caffeine; it’s great as a digestive aid. It also adds an extra kick to subtler ginger teas, like Sweet Ginger Heat and Gingerbread from DAVIDsTEA, so I often blend it with those.

Bio

I’m a writer who drinks tea to survive the creative process. A few years ago, I discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I’ve been hoarding all kinds of tea ever since!

My favorite teas change by the day. I usually drink them unsweetened, without milk. I like white and green teas, but I tend to prefer black and oolong these days. Rooibos can be hit-or-miss, same with herbals. (I mostly avoid blends with hibiscus, as I find it too tart, and I’m not a huge mint fan.) But I love when I find a good herbal that I can enjoy when I don’t want caffeine. I’m actively searching for tasty blends with chamomile in them.

I enjoy both flavored and straight teas. Some of my favorite flavors are vanilla, spice, apple, orange, chocolate, and peach. I’m obsessed with ginger. Seriously. I’ve been known to add extra ginger to teas that already have absurd amounts of spice in them. You’ve been warned. ;)
