The strength of our ginger tea can be adjusted to your personal preference. The spiciness of the ginger and the intensity of the black tea can vary depending on the brewing time and amount of tea you use.
When you let the tea steep longer, the ginger flavor will become stronger and spicier, while the black tea will have a deeper, richer flavor. If you brew the tea shorter, the taste will be milder and more subtle, with a softer ginger note and a lighter black tea taste.
For a delicious cup of ginger tea, use 2 grams of tea (about a teaspoon) per 200 ml of water. Heat the water to 90-95°C and let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the brewing time based on your taste preference: a shorter brewing time for a milder taste and a longer brewing time for a more powerful, spicy tea.
This allows you to easily create your perfect cup of tea with ginger tea, tailored to your taste preferences. Whether you like a strong, spicy tea or a milder, more subtle taste, with our Ginger tea you can go in all directions. Experiment with the brewing time and amount of tea to find your ideal balance between strength and finesse.
Our Ginger Tea is a unique blend of carefully selected black tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and the warmth and depth of ginger root. Legend has it that Marco Polo brought ginger to Europe after his impressive journey to China, where the spice has been cultivated for over 3,000 years. In China, ginger has a long history of use, both in cooking and in herbal medicines.
Ginger is known for its natural richness in vitamin B6 and magnesium. Vitamin B6 can help against anemia and contributes to good health.
The basis of our ginger tea lies in the refreshing Ceylon tea, which was cultivated on a large scale by the British in the 19th century. Ceylon tea is known for its aromatic character and subtle citrus notes, making it a popular choice for blends.
The combination of the invigorating Ceylon tea and the warming ginger provides a harmonious and balanced taste experience. This tea is delicious for any time of the day, but is especially useful on a cold winter evening or after a long day of hard work.
Give yourself a moment of peace and pampering with our special Ginger Tea and experience the rich history and health benefits that this tasty blend has to offer.

Ginger Tea is a delicious and healthy drink that you can drink at any time of the day. Here are some tips to brew the perfect cup of ginger tea:

Our Ginger Tea is not only a delicious drink, it also has many health benefits. Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can help reduce stomach upset, muscle aches, and joint pain. In addition, it can contribute to healthy digestion and better blood circulation.
Not only ginger has many health benefits, but also the black tea contained in this blend. Black tea contains antioxidants that may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, it can improve mental alertness and the immune system and contribute to healthy oral health.
The shelf life of Ginger Tea depends on several factors, including the way it is stored. Our Ginger Tea has a shelf life of at least 2 years if stored properly.
To maintain the quality of the Ginger Tea, it is important to store it in a dry and dark place, preferably in an airtight container. This keeps out moisture and light, which can lead to changes in taste and aroma.
If the Ginger Tea has passed its expiration date, it can still be drunk, but the taste and aroma may decrease. It is therefore always advisable to check the expiration date before drinking the tea.
If you want the Ginger Tea to keep for as long as possible, it is best to store it in a cool and dry place, such as a pantry or a dark cupboard. Make sure the packaging is tightly closed to prevent moisture and air from entering the tea. This way you can optimally enjoy the delicious taste and aroma of Ginger Tea, even after a long time.
If you take medication, it is always wise to consult with your doctor before drinking ginger tea. Ginger can interact with some medications.
For example, ginger can slow down blood clotting, so it may enhance the effect of blood-thinning medications. In addition, it can also lower blood sugar levels, which can lead to an interaction with medications for diabetes.
If you are not on any medication, you can safely enjoy the many health benefits of ginger tea.
It can help reduce stomach upset, muscle pain and joint pain, and contribute to healthy digestion and blood circulation.
Ginger Tea naturally contains no caffeine, as it is made from the rhizome of the ginger plant. However, our Ginger Tea is a blend based on a black tea from Sri Lanka, which does contain caffeine.
The black tea from Sri Lanka is also called Ceylon tea and is known for its full and powerful taste. It contains caffeine, which can help improve mental alertness and reduce fatigue.
Although Ginger Tea itself does not contain caffeine, the addition of black tea can provide a wonderfully flavorful blend with a small amount of caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine or prefer to avoid it, you can also choose to try our decaffeinated Ginger Tea, which has the same delicious taste but without the caffeine.

Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
