This is my very favorite tea. I used to drink Earl Grey and wanted to go herbal, but find an herbal with a good strong flavor. This is the one. Great ginger flavor. It truly is less expensive and more convenient for me to order this tea through Amazon's Subscribe-and-Save program than purchasing it at a supermarket or organic foods store.

My chiropractor suggested ginger tea to help me with some digestive issues. It really helps! And with a little squirt of hazelnut agave, it's delicious!! Drink a cup before meals for better digestion or after meals to ease bloating.

I have tried other brands of herbal ginger teas and this one is definitely the best one by far! Other brands had funny tastes and I had to force myself to finish the box up. Traditional Medicinals organic ginger tea tastes great all by itself, which is how I drink it every day now. I also mix it with my favorite organic green tea every day. It really gives it a nice "bite"! I find green tea too bland when it is not mixed with something else. The health benefits of ginger are well known and it is great to be able to consume it every day in tea form!

I had been sufffering form recurring indigestion and starting to rely on over the counter medicines which were not that effective. The problems were severe enough to intefere with sleep and cause real discomfort. So I tried this tea with the thought that I had nothing to lose. It has been fantastic. I drink one cup in the morning. No more medicine.

I first tried this tea several years ago when I had a lingering upper respiratory infection, because I read that ginger helped relieve mucus. I'm not sure if it helped the mucus, but I have found that it helps relieve stomach discomfort caused by overeating or making unwise food choices. Ginger tea was an acquired taste for me. At first I didn't like it much and had to add honey or sugar, but now I like it plain and strong. The tea has a definite zing, and the longer you brew it the zingier it is. I have tried another brand of ginger tea but it didn't have the zing, and didn't taste as good.

I initially bought this product at Whole Foods, but their price was too high. I love this tea, it really does settle my stomach and aids with digestion; and it tastes so good. When I browsed Amazon, and saw the very reasonable price for 6 boxes, I quickly bought the bundle. And, I will be buying my supply from Amazon from now on.

This tea is little in the spicy side for my taste and that would be the only reason I gave 4 stars...but it is very helpful aid for after meals.

I love ginger tea and usually just boil ginger root in water to make tea. I tried this brand for the first time when it was on sale at my grocery store. Of course this is not as strong as drinking tea made from boiling the root, but it is still pretty strong. I also like that this one does not combine the ginger with other things.

Last year an internet search on home remedies for nausea/indigestion lead me to try simmering peeled, minced fresh ginger. I was thrilled with how well it worked and how quickly. Always happy to find a natural alternative to drugstore potions whenever possible, so yay! and buh-bye, nasty pink liquid and gross, hard-to-choke-down chalky tablets. Personally, I love the slightly lemony, peppery 'bite' of ginger so that's a bonus as well.

The problem with the fresh ginger is that it's not something I use every day and therefore a lot goes to waste and I've found that the quality of the roots available in local stores can vary a great deal from store to store and from one shopping trip to the next and - unfortunately - I can't always tell the good from the bad and the ugly until AFTER I've gotten it home and peeled, minced, and even sometimes tasted. The time/labor element of peeling, mincing and simmering for 15 minutes and the subsequent clean up of cookware and utensils is also something nice to avoid when not feeling well.

Having been happy with other varieties of Traditional Medicinals tea in the past, I picked up a box of this at the store fully expecting it to be much inferior to the fresh but was very pleasantly surprised to find that not the case at all. I love this tea! Brewed covered for 13-15 minutes in a pre-warmed mug, it comes out still warm. Not exactly the same peppery intensity of the fresh and sadly lacking any real hint of lemon, it's still very good-tasting in its own right. Plus, it's always handy, don't have to worry about spoilage and it's portable. It also works very, very quickly to relieve the occasional nausea and to aid digestion when I've overeaten or eaten something a little too greasy/spicy for me. It also seems to work well in heading off potential problems when consumed shortly before a meal. So happy when I can get relief from the pantry instead of the medicine cabinet.

The price for the six pack here represents a considerable saving from my grocer's occasional sale price, too, so what's not to love?

I saw this at Whole Foods and decided to try it. It is my new FAVE tea! Most herbal teas are flat out gross to me. This one is so smooth with a little bit of spice. I paid close to $5 a box at the store so I could not pass on this deal. Much better than other teas I've tried. Get it!
