Organic Pu’erh Ginger Tea Review

5 October, 2013 by Giselle Rochford 1 Comment

Note: I wrote this yesterday but couldn’t get it to upload from my phone for some reason and only just got access to my laptop πŸ™ But anyway here is the Day 3 post for 31 Days of Tea and I’ll be back this evening with today’s!

Day 3

The Tea:

Today’s selection was Organic Pu’erh Ginger tea from David’s Tea. I must say that this challenge escalated rather quickly with the selection of this tea…I can’t even pronounce it! But moving on; Pu’erh ginger is a blend of pu’erh tea (which comes from China), ginger and orange peel, and this one was also donated by a friend.

The Preparation:

Use 1.25 tsp per cup and steep in 98Β°C water for 4-5 minutes. As a side note: I’ve learned that green teas like yesterday’s Apple Pie tea require lower temps than black teas like this one! Who knew…

The Experience:

Today was pretty hectic, but this tea was really calming and every sip somehow made my worries a little less :). For some reason I also felt like a real tea drinker – whatever that is – and not the impostor I am lol.

The Smell: 4/10

If I was going by scent alone, I would probably never buy this tea! It really just smells like leaves, but it’s not exactly appealing πŸ˜• Didn’t let that stop me though!

The Taste: 6/10

It really didn’t taste as bad as I was expecting, which was definitely a relief. The ginger and orange combine well enough to give a surprisingly pleasant taste. It went down smoothly and I didn’t have to hold my nose to drink it ;). The ginger was slightly stronger in the after taste, but since I actually like ginger tea, so that was a point in its favour for me.

The Benefits: 6/10

The ginger in this tea makes it great for stomach aches and apparently this one does wonders for digestion as well. I haven’t tested it personally for either, but once I do I’ll let ya know!

The Final Decision: 5.3/10

If it wasn’t for the smell this tea would actually be pretty okay. But they can’t all be winners I guess πŸ˜• I think I’ll only have it again to test out the benefits if I ever have a stomach ache.

That’s it for tonight. Happy Friday everyone!
