Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Rooibos
Dry Scent: Very gingery but also sweet. This smells an awful lot like gingersnap cookies, only with just a bit more gingeryness to it. Hmm...did I mention ginger? XD
Steeping Time: 7-8 min
Steeped Flavour: Unsurprisingly, ginger spicy. There is also some pink peppercorn in this, which adds its own bite, but - and this bit is surprising - the tea is naturally sweet enough to keep me from feeling like I just sucked down the juice from that pickled ginger you get with sushi. This will definitely get drunk some more while I'm sick, it's doing wonders for the sinuses!
Food/Drink Pairings: I honestly can't see pairing this with any food, it's just too much of a "medicine" tea for me, but I can, maybe, see it featuring, iced, in a very fancy dry cocktail or martini, maybe something with lychee or ginger liqueur.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
Buy/Don't Buy
This is not by any stretch of the imagination something that I would drink every day, but it's DEFINITELY something to have on hand for sick days! Maybe even with some fresh-squeezed lemon juice and honey.
