drank Super Ginger (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
1501 tasting notes

I LOVE ginger, and especially ginger tea. I used to get this weird powdered granular stuff in small crinkly gold packages from a local Chinese grocer, and because I speak only English and French, I could only decipher that it was ginger with honey tea. The stuff was STRONG, sweet, and perfect… even though I always wondered if it was truly tea. Ever since I had to swear off sugar, I’ve been looking for another ginger tea to take it’s place. Thus, Super Ginger.

Tummy is upset tonight, probably from the oolong earlier. Therefore my requirements were low, yet specific: taste strongly of ginger, and get rid of my tummyache. This definitely did both, and quickly.

Smells strongly of ginger in the tin, although a bit more faintly when steeped. I made sure to give it extra time, as well as exactly the right measurement (1.25 tsp) because I wanted to make sure this had enough bite. Yes, it definitely does, and should I have downed more of it, my nose would be running. (It’s 2:35am, and my youngest just woke up… so bedtime for me). Looking forward to this cooled cup in the AM, and I hope it tingles my tongue just as much as it is, now.

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
