This Organic Ginger Tea from Yogi Tea is ideal as a digestive aid, and it also purportedly enhances circulation. It's a lovely, intense, all natural herbal tea made from organic ginger root, organic lemon grass, orgnaic licorice root, organic peppermint leaf, and organic black pepper. The taste is exactly like ginger, spicy and peppery, with sweet overtones. It's very nice anytime, but especially after a meal.

Note that this review is for the six pack of Organic Ginger Teas, an amazing savings on Amazon by buying in bulk!

I am definitely impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Ginger Organic Tea comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.

Yogi Tea writes this on the box about the tea's benefits: "Our 100% Organic Ginger tea has something to offer to anyone who wants to get or stay healthy. For millennia, herbalists from all over the world have known of the healing, soothing and energizing qualities of this root, considered the "universal medicine." Organic Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been used worldwide as a safe and mild home remedy for a variety of conditions, including motion sickness, occasional upset stomach and intestinal gas, as well as minor menstrual cramps. Ayurvedic practitioners have used Ginger for years as a way of activating the body's fire element (Agni), which burns up Ama (the body's toxins, comprised of both undigested food and naturally occurring toxins). When Ama is decreased, the body gains strength, balance and harmony. As a natural warming energizer, Ginger is also known to support the immune system, promote rapid and complete digestion and increase intestinal tone and peristalsis. Furthermore, it works as an antioxidant and has been shown to safely and effectively relieve nausea associated with motion. Our 100% Organic Ginger tea tastes delicious and provides the highest quality of a timeless remedy."

There is a warning on the box that if you have indigestion or heartburn that persists you should see a doctor. There are no other cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Highly recommended.

I found this tea to be a bit bland when compared to the Triple Leaf Tea. What I liked about triple leafe and found lacking in Yogi is the spiciness.

I liked the tea, but did not like the peppery taste. It was too peppery, overpowering the ginger taste.

This tea tastes fantastic. The subtle taste of black pepper and licorice adds a great touch.
Be aware that this tea has ingredients other than just ginger, including licorice, peppermint, and black pepper.

I am a true fan of all things ginger, and this tea is wonderful. Very warming and spicy.

I enjoy this tea at room temperature - make a carafe of it and sip all day.

My only complaint - wish the peppermint were not so pronounced. I like a pure ginger taste.

Yogi teas are very high quality, though, so will continue to use other teas from this line until I find my absolute fave. The Healthy Fasting is super great.

The tea is fine, but beware of the poor quality of the bags. Twice in two evenings, with bags from different boxes, I have poured hot water over the bags only to have them break. I don't have this problem with Alvita, PG Tips or other tea bags. If you're going to purchase this tea, remember to pour the water first and then introduce the bag.

This tea is absolutely delicious after eating a rather substantial meal. I served it to friends after having curried chicken, which is a little spicey. It was the perfect ending to a flavorful meal. I drink this in the evening....or in the afternoon....or for my morning break. If you like ginger, and if you like tea, I'd recommend this ginger tea!

I use this as an additive to green tea or oolong. It's a soothing addition that takes it up a notch.

I have purchased Yogi tea for years now. This tea is fine, but I was disappointed by the slight misinformation. I'm not sure why they simply call this tea "Ginger" at least on the front of the package. I am now paying much more attention to the actual ingredients of Yogi teas because this has 4 other ingredients of which 3 are in greater amount in this one. I just wanted plain ginger tea and this has licorice, lemongrass, peppermint & black pepper. Black pepper & licorice are very strong flavors especially if you aren't aware they are steeping in your cup. It's a fine tea, yet holds a misleading title. That's all. Thank you.
