I love ginger tea - absolutely nothing better for a stomach ache, and enjoyable to drink even when you're feeling good. But the bagged ginger teas I've tried have all been either so weak that you couldn't even tell it was ginger, or tepid at best. This stuff is strong. Really strong. So strong that I can't use more than half a pouch per large cup. Finally - a ginger tea with a kick!
It is sweetened. I never use sugar in my tea, but this is not all that sweet, and the sugar complements the ginger very well.
Excellent stuff if you like strong ginger flavor.
