ginseng green

type: green

origin: china

caffeine: medium

price level: $$$$

Fresh and crisp green tea from China with the energizing flavor of ginseng, accented with dried ginger. Sweet, earthy green aroma, notes of fresh hay and delicately spicy herbs. Pleasantly bittersweet without being medicinal. Soothing, soft finish. A very grounding cup of tea. Steep at 180°F for 2-3 minutes

      wonderful flavor to blend with like lemongrass and ginger, make an awesome light but total punch of delicenses. I like bees honey or powder sweetener to just relax and enjoy the tea moments,

      THis is an interesting tea, I have not had a lot of ginseng, so I am not sure how ginseng normally tastes...this tea was a little nutty, maybe a little savory, especially in sent. The ginger was prominent and you could taste an herbal flavor, which I am presuming is the ginseng. The green tea takes a backseat here, but over all the tea's not bad.

      A quite pleasant tea. Light in flavor. Something to enjoy on a cold winter's day.

      Great daily green with that mellow spicy note from the ginseng and ginger, paired well with a little lemon juice

      Not a big fan of green tea or ginseng. It's good quality tea, just not my personal preference. Definitely not my cuppa tea.

      this tied the knot around my ginseng lover heart <3

      Delicious green tea that I found to have a smooth, pure green tea flavor without the need for any sweetener. (2-1/2 minutes at 175 degrees.)

    • 

      The ginger smell from the packet had me really excited to dive into this cup, but when steeped it was nowhere to be found. The green tea flavor is mild for those who find most green teas too grassy and there's a slight earthiness from the ginseng, but I really wish this had the punch of ginger I was expecting.

      A light, smooth green tea with hints of ginger and ginseng. This is great cold brewed too.

    • 

      This is a refreshing green tea that I like with a bit of honey. The ginseng is quite mild and I feel the ginger comes through stronger.

      It's been said by Adagio that their green tea base is similar to sencha so maybe the combination of ginseng and sorta-sencha might look good on paper. In reality, I found it a little jarring in a way that's hard to explain. I've never had ginseng before but I really don't think this is where it shines.

      This was a nice and light green tea. Adding a little sugar brought out some nice flavors.

      Nicely flavored green tea. The ginger is mild. Good unsweetened or with a drop of honey. Resteeps well.

      Nice, smooth green tea with a light touch of ginger spicing it up.

      This is a delicious Chinese green tea blend accented with ginger and ginseng. Enjoyable, smooth and refresing steeped at 175 degrees for 3 minutes.

      Tasted like green tea. Couldn't pick out any extra flavor notes. Not bad, but nothing special for me.

      its pretty good the ginger isnt overwhelming at all but it didnt taste enough like green tea if you know what i mean but regardless i think anyone would like it if they enjoy green tea

      This was a really nice cup of tea. Neither the ginger or ginseng was overpowering.

      Pleasant basic tea. Like might be had a nice Asian dinner house.

      Pretty nicely flavored green tea. Very relaxing. You do have to be careful with your temp and steep time.

      I really just tasted green tea. But hey, it was still pretty dang good.

      Strong ginseng/green flavor. I didn't taste any ginger, which I really would have enjoyed.

    • 

      I dont understand the point of adding ginseng flavor, add ginseng or leave it out. The ginger can stand on its own

      Solid green tea with an energy and flavor kick! Might be a good entry tea into flavored green teas for those unfamiliar with them since it's subtle.

    • 

      Very good tea but be careful with temperature and time brewed. Not a pleasant smell in my opinion but great taste.

    • 

      I know I say this a lot. But this is also one of my favorite teas. The ginseng gives it a nice kick, almost spicy, but not peppery. Just adds a nice 'zing'. It also gives me great energy! So when I feel like I need green tea, but also a little pep in my step. This is my go to. Its a very nice earthy, almost 'muddy' (but not in a bad way! think mineraly!) taste. One that I absolutely LOVE ginseng for!

      This is a great tea with a hint of ginger and ginseng

      As someone else said, this tea is great with honey. Nice green tea with well balanced ginseng

      I love adding honey to green tea for a relaxing tea.
