About This Tea

From the renowned tea-growing region of Kerala in India comes Ginger Tea, a tea prized by connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. The leaves are carefully dried and prepared from botanical ingredients rather than the Camellia sinensis tea plant, a method that has been refined over centuries to capture the essence of the terroir in every cup. The specific microclimate of Kerala — its rainfall patterns, altitude, and soil composition — contributes to a flavor profile that cannot be truly replicated anywhere else in the world.

When properly prepared, Ginger Tea delivers a remarkable sensory journey. The aroma offers spicy, warm with pungent freshness, setting the stage for a taste that is spicy, warming with sweet heat. No two infusions are exactly alike — the leaves continue to reveal different facets of their character with each steeping. The caffeine profile of this tea is noteworthy: it is completely caffeine-free, making it an excellent choice for evening enjoyment or for those avoiding stimulants entirely.

India is one of the world's largest tea producers, with a tea culture that blends ancient Ayurvedic traditions with colonial-era plantation heritage.

To brew Ginger Tea properly, water should be heated to 95°C to 100°C and the leaves steeped for 5 to 10 minutes. Using approximately 2.0g of tea per 100ml of water produces optimal results. The tea can be re-steeped up to 1 times, with each infusion offering a slightly different expression of the leaf's character. Many experienced drinkers find that the second or third infusion reveals the tea's true depth.

Today, Ginger Tea continues to be celebrated both in its homeland and by tea enthusiasts around the world. Its unique flavor profile has earned it a devoted following among those who appreciate the art and science of fine tea. Whether enjoyed as a daily ritual or reserved for special occasions, Ginger Tea represents a connection to centuries of tea tradition and the ongoing pursuit of excellence in every cup. The growing global interest in specialty teas has brought renewed attention to this variety, ensuring that the artisanal techniques behind its production continue to thrive.
