Story

Ginger is indigenous to southern China, from where it spread to the Spice Islands and other parts of Asia. Chinese herbalists continue to call upon ginger to expel cold and restore depleted yang. In the Middle Ages, ginger was brought to Europe by the Arabic traders. At the time, it was primarily used for ginger tea, said to be effective in fighting colds and flu. During Victorian times, shakers of ginger were as common a table accessory as salt and pepper. Today, India is the largest producer of this yang-inducing herb.

"This is good tea. I love ginger so I would have prefered more natural ginger flavor, but I can tell by some of the other reviews that it is probably strong enough for most. It is very good mixed with 1/2 Assam and 1/2 ginger as the 'Taste of India' blend suggests"

"I was prepared to dislike this tea. I purchased it to mix with other herbal teas because I thought it would help calm my stomach. It turns out I really like the flavor. I like to blend it with several of my teas. It has a very mild taste...not overwhelming like I expected. Chamomile, ginger, and some fruit is wonderful sweetened with honey."

"The ginger flavor is a bit too harsh/fiery. Not one of my favorites."

"I frequently make my own ginger tea using freshly-sliced raw ginger and a basic black tea. I was hoping for a similar flavour with this tea, but was very disspointed...the ginger flavour is displaced by the addition of citrus tones (I believe orange peel) which really just ruin it for me and make it taste more like a spicy-orange tea than a true ginger tea.

"Okay for a 'flavored' tea, but I find that I like ginger in my tea on its own (with a little honey and lemon, of course)."
