Day 20 of my Steepster homemade advent calendar from Kelmishka. This is our standard household migraine/sick tea, partly for the taste/quality and partly because it comes in sachets so it’s easy for my partner to make it when I can’t. We both like the taste, so I was happy to have a tea that I know I like and respond well to in here! Crystallized ginger pieces and lemon seeds are visible in the dry leaf, and it translates to the cup. The nice zingy ginger has that gentle burn that proper ginger does. The lemon flavor here is juicy, tart perfection. It’s just a really tasty and well-balanced tea for when we’re not feeling well. I do substantially prefer the flavor profile here to DavidsTea’s Super Ginger, which has more pepper and stevia than I would like. However, we’ll likely switch, at least for a while, because of their plastic-free sachets.
