Legend has it that Marco Polo was the first to introduce ginger to Europe. He was impressed during his trip to China. In China, this spice has been cultivated for more than 3000 years. There it has been used for a long time in the kitchen and as a herbal medicine.
Ginger is the root of the ginger plant. Ginger has been used for centuries to flavor dishes and drinks. Ginger is available as a fresh tuber, but also as dried, sliced ginger, syrup or powder.
Ginger is certainly a healthy product. Ginger is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B1, B2, B6, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In addition, ginger supports digestion, fights nausea and can help against high blood pressure.
The flavour of ginger is very characteristic and can be described as fresh, spicy and sweet.
Sliced ginger is dried ginger and is a great addition to dishes and any tea. You can also make you own brew by just adding hot water to the dried ginger root.

Did you know that tea can also be wonderfully combined with savory foods?
I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. 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?
I know, the real wine purists will find what I'm about to describe a sacrilege... Chardonnay with a purple hue.
A nice summer twist on this white wine. All you need is a few blue ice cubes and Chardonnay. Your friends will be impressed. Curious how to make Chardonnay Violet? Then read on..
Currently one of my favorite tea drinks this summer... Chilled Matcha Latte! Matcha helps to boost your energy and concentration, while also giving you a sense of calm and clarity.
Quick to make and healthy too! Read more about how you can easily make a Chilled Matcha Latte at home.
Do you want to prepare loose leaf tea at home?
That's very simple! To make loose leaf tea you only need a few basic elements. Tea leaves, hot water and something to put your tea in.
However, there are a few things that need some extra attention, such as the temperature of the water and the brewing time of the tea. We've listed it all here for you!
Last week one of our nicest customers, Chloe, came by for a pleasant conversation at our tea table.
Chloe started a podcast last year where she interviews people who play a role in her life. Today it was my turn and I was allowed to elaborate for more than half an hour about one of my great passions ... tea. Follow our conversation on Spotify!
I think every parent encounters this at some point. Isn't there a better alternative to lemonade or fruit juice for your kids? Even the healthy drinks are often still full of sugars and artificial additives. Tasty, but not really healthy. Offering only water is not always an option either. As a mother of two young daughters, I was always faced with this dilemma. Fortunately, as the owner of a tea shop, the solution was close at hand!
