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

What is ginger tea?

Ginger tea is a loose leaf herbal infusion made from dried, sliced ginger root. This ginger tea from Café du Jour contains one single ingredient: ginger. Nothing else is added, so every cup delivers a clean, direct ginger flavour with an intensely spicy and warming character.

Because the ginger root is sliced rather than powdered, the pieces release their flavour gradually as they steep. You can adjust the strength of your cup simply by changing how long you let it brew.

Pure ginger, nothing more

Many ginger teas on the market mix ginger with other herbs, spices or flavourings. This product keeps things simple: the ingredient list reads 'ginger' and stops there. If you want a straightforward ginger root tea without any blends or additions, this is a clear choice.

Who is it suitable for?

This loose ginger tea suits anyone who enjoys a bold, spicy cup and wants full control over what goes into it. Because the only ingredient is ginger, you always know exactly what you are drinking.

A good match if you:

• Prefer pure, single-ingredient teas over blended varieties
• Enjoy an intensely spicy and warming flavour in your cup
• Like to adjust brew strength to your own taste
• Want a loose leaf tea rather than tea bags
• Are looking for a ginger tea 100g pack that gives you plenty of servings
• Enjoy experimenting with hot and cold brewing methods

How do you use ginger tea?

Brewing loose ginger tea is straightforward. Use a tea strainer, infuser or a small teapot with a built-in filter. A starting point of about 2 to 3 grams of sliced ginger root per cup works well, though you can use more for a stronger result.

Hot brew

Pour freshly boiled water over the ginger slices and let them steep for 5 to 10 minutes. A shorter steep gives a milder, lighter flavour. A longer steep brings out the full spicy intensity of the ginger root. Taste as you go and find the strength you enjoy most.

Cold brew

For a cold ginger tea, place the sliced root in cold water and leave it in the fridge for 6 to 12 hours. The result is a smooth, refreshing drink with a gentle ginger flavour. Serve over ice for a cooling summer option.

In the kitchen

The dried ginger slices are also useful in cooking. Add them to broths, marinades or sauces for a natural ginger note. You can also simmer them in water to make a ginger concentrate to use as a base for drinks or recipes.
