Backlog:
I’m not always a big fan of Ginseng. It can sometimes taste too earthy. Like … dirt and cardboard. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big fan of this flavor combination.
But … this is not at all what I expected … it surprised me from the first sip. Sweet honey notes, toasty, nutty flavors. Light vegetative tone. Not overly herbaceous and while it is a little earthy, I wouldn’t say it’s dirt or cardboard like in any way.
Good. An enjoyable way to consume Ginseng!

I like Ginseng quite lots. I am sorry you are not liking of this herb or such. Old spirited tree and descendants to some of us humans. You are right when you say that flavor profile tends to be ‘earthy’ with a scratchy throat as well. you mihgt want to try adding ginger with the ginseng but this may be strong as well. Ginseng and ginger tea with honey with a slight squeeze of lemon juice…nicely hot makes for a good cup of winter’s warmth.
I am not well. I do go on. Take care.
I have not had Oolong tea in quite sometime. I keep meaning to get some when I succumb to buying a box of tea, but I end up getting green tea instead. Thank you for the reminder.
