Let me start by saying I wanted to like this tea. I have had other ginger turmeric teas and loved them. I was looking for a tea club I could set up a membership and forget about it. I was hoping this was it.
What went wrong? Well I received my teas. Both ginger and turmeric and a joint aid tea. Upon opening the sealed bag I noticed I wasn’t hit with any aroma. I sniffed the bag and nothing which was odd, but I continued on. I had purchased their paper tea bags also, which I love, I measured out the suggested amount plus a little more just because I like stronger tea. I put about 8oz of hot water let it steep then sat down to enjoy. Sadly it tasted like hot water. Undeterred I thought maybe I made it wrong. Maybe a little too much water or maybe it wasn’t hot enough so I dumped the cup and tried again. This time I measured out a little more tea measured out the water at about 210 degrees. Again I sat down sipped my tea and again disappointed. Frustrated I decided to try again. This time I filled the bag to the top, stuffed it. Used only 6 oz of heated water and steeped it for 10 min. Although the water was murky it still tasted like heated water. I did this with the other tea I received and got the same results. Unfortunately they will both sit in my cupboard now until I can convince myself to throw out $25 worth of unflavored tea. Like I said I really wanted this to work, but in the end it didn’t. I will have to continue searching. I will probably purchase more tea bag from them though unless I find a club that I like that also has the bags.
