Ginseng Green

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.

"Words cannot describe how bad this tea tastes. It's probably just me as this was my first ginseng tea. (And probably my last.)"

"My palatte keeps expecting ginger when I brew up this tea. The scent certainly reminds me of ginger, but the flavor is more savory. Not really my thing."

"I'm not too sure about this one. My first cup was not very impressive. The smell out of the tin was somewhat medicinal. I will try experimenting more with this one."
