Turmeric seems to play best with ginger (even though ginger isn't my favorite herb, personally), so I figured to try this first out of a 4-type variety pack of turmeric-based Vahdam herbal teas. I'll review the others here too; they're packaged and cut similarly to this, as appropriate for the herb being blended with turmeric. Curiously, I found the variety box at a decent price at a Wal-Mart out in western Nebraska, after not seeing any Vahdam teas in a retail store, ever before. I suspect they have launched this new line of herbal teas for the USA retail market to capitalize on the still-going turmeric craze.
Unlike in the photo on Vahdam's website (used here), the blend came not in a sachet, but a folded paper bag with string and tag, housed in a standard, rectangular, foil-lined paper wrapper. [They also sell a loose-leaf version of this and each of the other turmeric blends, in a reclosable plastic sack.] The ginger nuggets therein were abundant and obvious, each cut into cubes around 2–3 mm on a side, with the turmeric rolled into small grains that disperse into the hot water. The dry-bag aroma was of a sweet more than spicy ginger, which matched the taste. Only in the aftertaste does a little spiciness appear, oddly enough.
It's basically a smooth ginger tea colored by turmeric; accordingly, the brew turns a semi-opaque, yellow-orange color fairly quickly. For ginger, it's not bad! If this were a ginger ale, it would be more of a sweet but flavorful variety like Vernors than a sharp, dry version like Canada Dry. Since I'm not big on ginger, this probably is nearly as high as I'll rate a mainly ginger tea.
