I love ginger, and I liked this tea. I don’t get the “fishy” quality that other people have described. I mostly find the pu’erh tea to be kind of earthy? And the ginger sort of adds to that earthiness, plus bringing a bit of brightness and zip to it. I don’t taste the orange at all, but I wonder if it just adds a hint of something to the ginger. Overall I found it smooth and pleasant to drink without adding anything.

This is a very green-tasting tea, so I guess it’s well named. :) I’m working through my Mate Factor Variety Pack, and this is just the plain green mate with no other stuff. I like it! I just put a bag in a normal 8oz mug, added boiling water, steeped for 5min but left the bag in while drinking it. Very low-tech, lol. I’ve done two steepings, and the second is still pretty flavourful.

The primary flavour I get from this is the peppermint, with an underlying fresh/green flavour that I assume is the yerba mate. The carob is there, but quite mild. I like this tea plain, but I like it even more with a bit of sugar. I tried adding a bit of milk as well, but I’m not really a fan of that.
