Ginger Root Tea - Pure Loose-Leaf 100 g

One ingredient

Ginger Root is a single-ingredient herbal infusion: dried, sliced ginger root, with nothing blended into it. That makes it a far more direct cup than most ginger blends - no lemon, no liquorice, no spice mix taking the edges off. It is hot and peppery, with the clean burn ginger leaves at the back of the throat, and it warms you through in the way a cold wet evening asks for.

Brewing it

Put one to two teaspoons of slices in a strainer, an infuser or a pot with a built-in filter. Let the kettle drop off the boil for a moment, around 90 to 95 °C, then pour. Five minutes gives a mild, rounded cup; ten gives you the full heat of it. Since you are measuring the slices out yourself, the strength is entirely yours to set. A slice of lemon or a spoon of honey suits it if you want to soften it.

Customer Questions

Does Ginger Root ginger tea contain caffeine?

No, Ginger Root contains no caffeine. This tea consists entirely of cut ginger root and contains no leaves from the tea plant, which is where caffeine comes from. So you can happily drink it in the evening too.

What is in Ginger Root ginger tea?

Ginger Root consists of a single ingredient: ginger. No sugar, flavouring or other herbs have been added, so you taste the cut ginger root in its pure form. That gives it a spicy, full flavour. For the exact ingredients, check the label on the packaging.

How do you make Ginger Root ginger tea?

Use about 2 grams of loose tea per cup, which is roughly a level teaspoon. Pour boiling water over the ginger and let the tea steep for 5 to 8 minutes. If you steep it longer, the ginger flavour becomes sharper and stronger. We recommend tasting it and adjusting the steeping time to your own taste.

How many cups of tea do you get from 100 grams of Ginger Root?

At about 2 grams per cup, this 100 gram bag gives you around 50 cups. If you brew your tea stronger, the bag will of course not last quite as long. Because this is loose-leaf tea, you need a tea strainer, tea filter or filter bag.

How do you best store Ginger Root loose ginger tea?

Store the ginger dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the bag itself or in a tea caddy. Heat, light and moisture are the biggest enemies of loose leaf tea and make the aroma fade faster. Do not keep the tea right next to coffee or strongly scented spices, because ginger picks up smells easily.
