Ginger Cool - Ginger Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

No, Gember Cool is recorded as caffeine free in our product data. It is a herbal infusion based on ginger, lemongrass and peppermint, without any leaf from the tea plant. That means you can happily drink this ginger tea in the evening.

Gember Cool contains ginger, lemongrass, liquorice, ginger granules, orange peel, peppermint and black pepper. The ginger and the ginger granules, together with the black pepper, provide the kick, while the peppermint gives the cooling finish. If you have an allergy or want to check the full and current list, look at the label on the packaging.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, roughly a level teaspoon. This blend with pieces of ginger and spices can be brewed with boiling water. Let it steep for 5 to 8 minutes: the longer you wait, the more the ginger and the black pepper come through with a spicy kick.

Yes, this blend tastes good hot and cold. We recommend brewing it twice as strong as normal, then letting it cool and serving it with ice cubes. The peppermint and lemongrass really come into their own when cold, especially with a slice of lemon. You can also let Gember Cool steep cold: 4 to 12 hours in the fridge, depending on how strong you want it.

Yes, liquorice is one of the ingredients of Gember Cool and gives a natural sweet undertone alongside the spicy ginger. That is why the packaging carries the statement: contains liquorice, avoid excessive use if you have high blood pressure. If you are unsure whether this tea suits your situation, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
