Our Gingerman tea extols one of the great joys of childhood – decorating Christmas cookies. There’s a special pride in hanging your own decorated ginger man on the tree! From mixing the ingredients and cutting the cookies into ginger man shapes, to decorating with sugars and icing that are magically tinted, it’s all a joy. What a thrill to accomplish that wavy outline of royal icing around the edge of the cookie! Vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves become a rich tapestry of scents wafting through the house, all in this one tea!

I. Love. Ginger. Like, looooove. If you do, too, don’t bother with this one. A nice blend, in that the result is smooth and … I want to say, calm? Placid? It’s entirely inoffensive, but it’s underwhelming and just not exciting. I like my spicy teas to be bold and intense, and this is vaguely gingery warm water. It’s not horrible; there’s just too much amazing tea out there for us to waste our time, money, and taste buds on this one.
Day 1 of my Etsy Tea Advent Calendar from Blue Moonstone.
I did not order a tea advent calendar from any of the usual places. I looked on /Etsy because I have found some good tea there. Specifically, A Quarter to Tea, which i dearly miss. I found this seller and thought I;d try it out. The advent calendar is a sturdy foam snowflake about 15 inches in diameter, and there are 24 packages individually wrapped in heavy paper tied to the snowflake.
So, Day One was a teabag of Gingerman. The first thing I noticed was that there was no ingredient list. Then I saw there were no leaves in the bag. The contents looked like they had been ground into grains. I thought maybe it was a rooibos based tea. I went out to the website and saw the ingredients were black tea, vanilla, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon. That sounded appealing.
It was… warm water. Now, I can’t smell, so i don’t always taste much. But cardamom? Cinnamon? Ginger? I should get something, So I don’t think i can recommend this one. Although if someone with a working nasal appendage tries it and enjoys, it I am wiling to chalk it up to very subtle flavors and let it go. At least it was not bitter or astringent. I mean, if a friend had me over for tea and served i could drink it.
Well that’s disappointing. I must have the ginger! The only cure for that disappointment is to go find some ginger chews.
I wonder how it would be to melt one of them in a cup of tea. Might be a fun experiment.
