Sampler Sipdown September! My monthly theme this month is to work through my plentitude of smaller samplers to try to clear out some much needed cupboard space! Since I am having a blistering migraine today and my triptan didn’t work, forcing me to leave work early today, I grabbed this single teabag that a former coworker gifted me that I have yet to try. The migraine nausea is pretty bad, and ginger tends to help with that.
This is so much better than the Stash Lemon Ginger I revisited not long ago, which had a really artificial tasting lemon flavor to me, and a really overbearing ginger flavor. If I ever decide I need to have some quick bagged Lemon Ginger tea around, this is certainly the brand I’ll go with from now on. The lemon flavor in this tea is more tangy and citrusy, reminding me more of lemon juice, it’s a bit tart but since I’m fine with tart/tangy notes I find it really nice. But most importantly, the ginger is very reasonable, leaving just a little bit of spice at the finish but no lingering unpleasant heat. It comes off more strongly in the lemon than the ginger, and for my personal tastes, that’s just how I like it.
Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Lemon, Pleasantly Sour, Spicy, Tangy, Tart

I’ll be sipping down September with you. Hope you feel better soon.
I’m sorry if I’ve suggested it before, but have you tried any no caffeine mint teas for migraines? Mint usually helps me with headaches. Something like Teavivre’s mint would probably be best.
Oh goodie, I can even include a Teavivre mint sample in the teabox for you.
I sometimes drink mint instead of ginger for the nausea, which is equally as useful against the nausea. But no tea helps the head pain, and I’ve tried countless so called “headache blends”. Nothing helps when the triptan fails, I just have to wait it out, and it can last up to four days. I have severe chronic migraine and have done everything from snake oil therapies to homeophatic treatments to every medication on the market (aside from the new expensive treatments that my insurance has flatout denied me “due to the cost”)
That does not sound fun at all. I should have known you would have tried many things. I’m sorry nothing is working for you! I will add some Teavivre mint to the teabox anyway. I hope you feel better.
Thank you guys. After several decades I’m a bit used to this but it is still comforting (I wish my workplace was so understanding). It’s a neurological disorder but the truth of the matter is most people still think of it as “just a headache” so it… is what it is when having to deal with coworkers, friends, and family sometimes (and again, something I’m pretty used to at this point). I’m actually sipping on iced mint tea right now so I can eat a little something before going back to bed. Mint and ginger are absolute blessings on the stomach and I recommend them to anyone with nausea!
Yeah, it never sounded like “just a headache” to me, and I should not have suggested mint like you hadn’t thought of it! You probably have everyone suggesting stuff to you all the time that just doesn’t work for you.
