Description

Green tea from China with the curative benefits of ginseng root. A happy marriage of great taste and proven health benefits. Just the right touch of ginseng to liven up the cup. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are interested in the health properties of green tea and ginseng, this tea luckily combines both.

Story

Ginseng was discovered five-thousand years ago in the mountainous region north of China, called Manchuria. It quickly became revered for its strength-giving and rejuvenating powers, becoming a symbol of divine harmony. By the third century China was sending much of its prized silk to Korea in exchange for the wild root. Eventually, the demand for ginseng outstripped all available wild supply, and Korea began a commercial cultivation of ginseng, which continues to this day. Ginseng root is also grown in the US; some sold domestically, but the bulk destined for China.

"Not crazy about this one, don't plan to reorder. I don't know what I was expecting but it was sort of 'grassy' to me & with subsequent tastings it never grew on me as some teas do."

"The flavor may not be everyone's favorite. It does take a little getting used to, but I can't help but recommend implementing this tea into your everyday life. I have a cup of black tea in the morning and follow-up with a ginseng usually before lunch. The result is a happy, natural alertness, boosted by just the right amount of caffeine and ginseng. Not to mention, the health properties of ginseng + green tea are very promising. "

"Its interesting, not my favorite though. Hard to explain the flavor as I didn't know what to expect ginseng to taste like. Is herbal. "
