Hmmm….Ginger Chicken with Asparagus?? ;)
Actually, no that was just my initial impression—it’s the steamed ginger scent that’s throwing me off a little bit. But this does taste kind of “brothy” to me. I’m not detecting any sweetness like the description implies.
This is definitely a warming cup of tea and seems soothing to the stomach. But I guess it’s the white tea I’m not favoring too much. Very faint and tannic.
A sort of “anemic” tea that’s been invigorated by ginger.
The more I sip, I can’t help thinking that this reminds me of chicken soup! There’s this noodle restaurant near me that serves the best chicken noodle soup and they put a lot of ginger in it. So, I think this would be very good if you have a cold….kind of like a tea equivalent of “chicken soup”, I guess?

Lol. I remember now that you did say white teas can remind you of chicken soup. Here it was. This is the next thing I pulled out of the sampler randomly so I’ll have to see if I get the same thing out of it.
Like I said, white tea is “broth-y”! Like chicken broth! I don’t know what it is, but I taste that. It’s weird, maybe my steeping is wrong? Or maybe it’s the fact that white tea is chock-full of amino acids that it tastes “protein-like”!
Have you ever tried lemon verbena? If so, did you get brothy? I got REALLY brothy, like the juice from a roast lemon/herbed chicken out of that.
I have in perfumes but never in a tea. But it makes sense because lemon verbena is so herbal/herbaceous.
Oh, now I want Lemon Chicken!! Or even better—Lemon Chicken Wings!
