Review of Ceylon Green Tea with Real Ginger

Brews a hazy yellow-green color. A lot of fine, granular particles sink to the bottom of the cup.
This tastes mostly like a low-grade green tea...the ginger is weak. Nearly all tea-herb blends and herbal teas containing ginger in their name, which I've tried, have been stronger than this. The ginger is noticeable if I pay attention to it, but it easily is lost.
The base tea tastes a lot like chun mee or young hyson, but it's weak. It's slightly tangy, brisk, and with a hint of smokiness.
I couldn't find this one on Dilmah's website, so I wonder if it has been discontinued. At any rate, it was certainly pleasant to drink, but nothing exciting...slightly uninteresting.
Drinkable, but nothing exciting and I probably wouldn't choose to drink it again. Slightly above average for a low-quality green tea in a tea bag...emphasis on the slightly.
