drank Red Hot Ginger by Basilur
3578 tasting notes

This is from an assortment box that Martin sent to me for my birthday. Thank you, Martin!

I like ginger for relief of stomach ailments but as a spice I like it only in very small doses. It can add sparkle to food and drink but can quickly get too hot for me. Based on the name and the smell, I thought this tea was going to be too much for me. I made it yesterday when some fried food made me a bit queasy and I felt like it helped. The ginger wasn’t too hot for me, although it did build in intensity throughout the mug of tea.

I had thought that if it was unbearably hot for me I would send it to my neighbor who loves straight ginger and strong vinegar and kombucha that puckers your whole face. Instead I will be keeping it to settle my stomach!

When I made my hot mug yesterday I also tossed a bag into my cold steeper to drink today. I drank it as is without adding simple syrup and enjoyed it. It is nice to know that I can do the easy peasy steeping for summer!

I never seen and had this one; so I had no idea what to expect. I am glad you liked it!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
