I find that this tea tastes less like gingerbread than straight up ginger. I find this a really comforting tea to drink because I absolutely love ginger in pretty much any form. However, the flavor’s not as complex as the ingredient list might indicate. If you don’t appreciate a strong ginger taste with some underlying spice, I’d look for a different tea.
Flavors: Ginger, Spices
If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.
Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.
Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate
I’ll update soon with my rating system!

I am a die hard ginger fan – I eat it raw every day and grow my own at home. Have a large ginger tea + ginger blends collection -thanks for the review – I will have to try this one!!
