When my tummy is rebelling or I feel a twinge of a cold coming on, I make 3 cups of this and knock it right out! The ginger is definitely front and center: as powerful as you’ll get without slicing the fresh root yourself. The other spices compliment it well, and it’s a great tea to make in the evening, when I don’t want any caffeine. Included in the Cold Survival Kit of 2014-2015.
I admit it: I’m a DavidsTea fangirl. I’ve dabbled with Teavana, Tazo, and random others. But DavidsTea is where my love of loose leaf started back in 2009, and their blends continue to surprise and delight me.
I drink tea almost every day. My favorite variety is green tea, but I also enjoy pu’erh, oolong, white, herbal tisanes, rooibos, and certain flavored black teas.
In my head, I rate my teas on a 5-star system, so for Steepster I’ve devised the following system:
90 – 100 = “5 stars”
All time favorites and inspired blends
75 – 89 = “4 stars”
Quite enjoyable—would like a 2nd cup! Might order this tea for my cupboard
50 -74 = “3 stars”
Nothing about this tea stands out. It might be an odd or unbalance blend. One cup is enough to satisfy my curiosity.
25 – 49 = “2 stars”
Tolerable, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it again.
0 – 25 = “1 star”
Can’t even finish the first cup
