Ginger Tea

As promised, here's the Ginger Tea from Yogi Teas.

Flavor: Initially, it is not super strong. However, the aftertaste is somewhat more "burny" than the other ginger tea I reviewed. It almost has an oily feeling as it goes down, but not unpleasant, just smooth. I also do not taste any other flavors besides the ginger. I do not sense the same hint at sweetness that was present in the first tea. If you let this brew for a long time, however, there is a certain sweetness that presents, as well as a much stronger ginger taste.

Suggested Additions: Drinking it straight is just perfect for me right now. It is later in the day, and I am ok with the additional zing that this one has. Honey may add to that zing, but I am not really in the mood for something sweet.

Ingredients: Ginger, lemongrass, licorice root, peppermint, black pepper

Purpose: Again, ginger is used traditionally to help with digestion. I'm drinking it today because I'm feeling like my intestines can use a little help in any possible way I can provide. In the absence of something stronger, a tea can at the very least have a soothing effect.
