You know, I keep on saying “ok, I have enough tea, I shouldn’t buy anymore” and then I pass by a David’s Tea and I get sucked in.
This is what happened yesterday. My husband and I, along with one of our closest friends, were downtown and we passed by the David’s Tea in Yonge/Dundas Square. I had been thinking for a while about getting their “In Case of Stomachache” set of teas. Then hubby pointed out that 1) they had Xmas teas on sale, and 2) there was a store special today where if you bought $35 worth of merchandise, you’d get another 50g of tea for free.
I am very weak willed. I went for it.
So I bought the “stomachache” package of teas (Le Digestif, Fabulous Fennel, and Mango Turmeric), a set of 3 Xmas teas (Cardamom French Toast, Banana Nut Bread and Santa’s Secret), some hot tea to go, and a package of cookies to reach the limit.
And then I got 50g of Super Ginger for free.
A few reasons for this:
- I’ve had a lot of stomach trouble on and off for the past 2 years. This was partly why I bought the 3-tea set. Since ginger is supposed to help upset stomachs, it seemed like a good addition.
- I’ve wanted to try this for a while
Anyways, I had some last night once I got home. I was expecting the stevia to be more in-your-face, but it was mild. And franky, it wasn’t as ridiculously gingery as I was expecting.
It was decent. The true test remains, though – I need to see how it will combat a stomachache.

Peppermint is good for stomachache too.
I find that peppermint gets too cloying and harsh if I oversteep it. Plus, this a weird sort of stomachache: part bloat, part hunger, part burning, part feeling like I’ve just been kicked. It’s a gnawing, hungry, burning sort of pain.
Sounds like it might be candida yeast overgrowth in the stomach.
Oh, that sounds awful, Christina. I hope you have been checking for all the things and that this passes very quickly and easily for you. These mystery illnesses suck.
