Indie Teas

Today I'm reviewing another tea from Teatulia. Check out my first review here. This tea is Teatulia's Herbal Ginger Tea. Like the lemongrass I reviewed earlier this tea is also very simple and consists primarily of ginger. I'm trying out the bagged form of this although you can find a loose leaf version online.

The Nose and Color: This tea has a very biting smell. It smells like fresh ginger straight from the supermarket. It reminds me of peeling fresh bark off a tree and smelling the sap part on the backside. It's got a pine component as well as a bark-like aspect. This tea contains some vasaka leaves so maybe that's what's adding that smell for me. Furthermore, it looks like a light green tea when steeped with a slightly brown hue. 

Tasting: Without a doubt this tea is very flavory. This ginger hits youImage provided by Teatulia square in the mouth and the added vasaka leaf smoothes out the flavor a little bit. However, this tea has a lot of strength and my palate isn't that used to this type of flavor. It's a little too much ginger for me. It was almost like I was chomping off a piece of ginger like I did when I was a child and realizing that an interesting sniff doesn't always result in a pleasant taste.

Price: $13.00 for 2.0 oz

Summary: 82 out of 100. Above average. A good tea. Something that didn't suit my palatte but it had its moments. Not a recommended buy.
