 This is not pure ginger root but rather, a blend of ginger and Vasaka leaf.I find this herbal tea to be very strongly bitter...I'm almost positive it's from the Vasaka leaf. The bitterness is overpowering. There's not much aroma, just a little from the ginger, but it's the weaker aroma of powdered dry ginger, not the aroma that I like, of the fresh root. I did not encounter any of the pleasant bite, the crispness and freshness that ginger root usually imparts to an herbal infusion. I can't imagine thinking of this as anything but a medicinal tea. I tend to enjoy bitter foods, but this is too extreme for me. It is significantly more bitter than drinking straight tonic water (something I enjoy on occasion). It's very similar in flavor to tonic water, actually, and it leaves a similar taste in your mouth. I was disappointed by this one, especially after being so impressed with Teatulia's other herbal tea--their lemongrass, which I found to be among the best lemongrass for tea that I've ever tried. |
