2 Tasting Notes
Water temp- just boiling
Steep time- 6 minutes
A delicious tea- I think I may try to stock up on a few boxes to last me throughout the year.
As a side note, I was nauseous for the last few days. I read that ginger helps ease the tummy. I drank this tea and it seemed to help!
Upon opening the package, the first smells I noticed were cinnamon and ginger- reminded me of a Christmas spice aisle at the Grocers. I also noticed another spice smell, but I can’t identify it at the moment.
The tea steeps to a nice dark golden brown.
It doesn’t exactly taste like a gingerbread cookie, but you can definitely taste the ginger, cinnamon, and other woody-type flavours.
The cinnamon flavour coats your tongue- it leaves a pleasant tingle.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Spices
Preparation
The tea bags smell like a freshly opened pack of spearmint gum. I absolutely love spearmint, so YUM!
To me, spearmint is also the main flavour that I detect (please note, I have yet to develop my “tea palette” , so I may add to this in the future)
This tea is very calming and comforting, like a warm, soft blanket. I really do look forward to drinking it before bed every night.
It leaves a pleasant and light aftertaste in the mouth.
Also delicious when cream is added to it!
