Lemon Verbena Tea

This review is for the Ginseng Tea 40 Count tea bags. Immediately upon opening the bag, I smelled the familiar smell of ginseng. There's no mistaking that it is ginseng, and it looks and tastes like an American ginseng, not Korean red panax. Nothing wrong with that. The two types of ginseng are good. Flavor was good. A bit sweet, but that's pretty typical of ginseng. The tea bags contained an adequate supply for an 8 ounce cup of tea. The brewing instructions say to put it in a cup of boiling water and steep for 8 minutes. I tried that, and it worked. The tea looked pale yellowish and had a moderate taste of ginseng (not weak, not strong). For stronger flavor, just put in more than one tea bag. They sliced the little flakes of ginseng paper thin, so it cuts down on the time you need to brew. But, if you want the biggest bang for the buck, you will want to brew it in a more traditional way. You can brew it on the stove top in a small pot. Put in about 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil. Then cut the tea bag and drop the contents into the boiling water. Continue boiling for about 30 minutes, or until you're left with about 1 cup of tea. This is the herbal decoction method of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I actually prefer another way to brew it: Take a thermos and put some boiling water into it. Wait about 5 minutes. Then dump the water out completely. That pre-heats the thermos. Then immediately drop the contents of the tea bag into the thermos along with 1 cup of boiling water into the thermos. Close the top. Shake well. Leave for at least an hour. I actually leave it overnight. Come back the next day and pour it into a cup, straining off the solids as you do that. This will get the most out of the ginseng. And then you just add whatever sweetener you want, and a squirt of lemon. You got yourself a nice tasting ginseng tea.

Good quality and great taste. Relaxing and healthy.

Buy this package of 45 pieces and for me it is good as much as the taste and also for the price, the linden tea is great, it will take away me and help me rest better.

Pretty good, but the flavor is not very strong. I added honey and orange and it tasted good, but I am a bit disappointed with the overall strength.

loving the tea so far. good flavor the bag can be sealed again and again keeping the tea bags fresh. the cost is really good and the quality seems good.

Great tea. The genmaicha is more vegetal than I'm used to and its more drying to the mouth than I'm used to as well but its still really good. Surprisingly for being in a tea bag I can see big pieces of the green tea and have even noticed a couple whole leaves in the tea bags. Usually tea bag green tea is just powder so it is pretty high quality. UPDATE: I tried some other genmaicha teas from Amazon even some Japanese brands with matcha and this one is the best I've found. Its so fresh tasting and good quality green tea. You can taste the toasted rice nicely and I realized that the reason it was drying my mouth was because I was steeping it for too long. Once I started steeping it for less time it was perfect.

Amazing! It took a while to get used to the flavor. I mix it with ny sleepy time tea and decaf green tea; helps my stomach!!!

I started taking this tea and felt results instantly, when I say have you feeling RELAXED and the taste is tolerable hot or cold and was perfect for cramps ladies..So yes definitely reordered for myself.
