I love ginger beer (especially in a Dark & Stormy), so I was very excited to get the e-mail from DavidsTea announcing an herbal ginger beer blend. I actually schlepped out to the store to get some. Of course, I ended up buying and spending more than I intended to but je ne regrette rien. Some of the blends disappointed, but this one is on target. It’s perfectly ginger-beer-y. There’s even a hoppy note and a fizzy mouthfeel. I would play around with making a tea soda and Dark & Stormy out of this, but I am not patient enough. Also the weather and my home are too cold.
I did have a tingly-mouth allergic reaction to this blend the first time or two that I had it, but I just had a big old mug of it without a problem. I’m not sure what to make of that. I took a 24-hour Benadryl last night, so it could plausibly still be in my system countering any negative reaction.
Flavors: Ginger, Hops
