Ginger Cool - Loose Herbal Ginger Tea 100 g

Ginger with the edges cooled

Ginger Cool is a loose herbal tea built around ginger, but it is not a straight ginger tea. Lemongrass and peppermint sit over the top and take the heat down; liquorice root brings a natural sweetness that rounds the blend out; orange peel adds a little citrus, and black pepper puts a bite back at the finish. Ginger granules keep the ginger itself present all the way through rather than only in the first mouthful.

Hot or over ice

Use it like any other loose tea: a spoonful in a pot or an infuser, hot water over it, and as long a steep as you like - the longer it sits, the further forward the ginger and the pepper come. Brewed a shade stronger and left to cool it makes a good iced tea, with the mint and lemongrass much more noticeable cold. None of the ingredients carry caffeine, so the hour of the day does not come into it.

Customer Questions

Does Ginger Cool ginger tea contain caffeine?

No, Ginger Cool is listed as caffeine-free in our product information. It is a herbal infusion based on ginger, lemongrass and peppermint, without any leaf from the tea plant. That means you can happily drink this ginger tea in the evening.

What is in Ginger Cool ginger tea?

Ginger Cool contains ginger, lemongrass, liquorice, ginger granules, orange peel, peppermint and black pepper. The ginger and the ginger granules, together with the black pepper, provide the kick, while the peppermint gives the cooling finish. If you have an allergy or want to check the full and current list, look at the label on the packaging.

How do I brew Ginger Cool ginger tea?

We recommend about 2 grams of loose-leaf tea per cup, roughly a level teaspoon. This blend with pieces of ginger and spices can be brewed with boiling water. Let it steep for 5 to 8 minutes: the longer you wait, the more the ginger and the black pepper come through with a spicy kick.

Can I also drink Ginger Cool cold as iced tea?

Yes, this blend tastes good hot and cold. We recommend brewing it twice as strong as normal, then letting it cool and serving it with ice cubes. The peppermint and lemongrass really come into their own when cold, especially with a slice of lemon. You can also let Ginger Cool steep cold: 4 to 12 hours in the fridge, depending on how strong you want it.

Does Ginger Cool contain liquorice?

Yes, liquorice is one of the ingredients of Ginger Cool and gives a natural sweet undertone alongside the spicy ginger. That is why the packaging carries the statement: contains liquorice, avoid excessive use if you have high blood pressure. If you are unsure whether this tea suits your situation, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
