Gold Kili

Easy to make but not a so pleasant smell. The taste however is very sweet.

I don’t really know what to say about this tea except that I.Love.it. I love ginger anything so having this drink satiates my ginger lusts. Ginger tea is also good, this is for the ladies, with blood flow and cramps should you not have a heating pack around when in need. I find that this one is much more potent than other ginger packets and teas. It comes in little granules and because of how intense the ginger is, half a packet will do nicely.

I made this 2 days ago because I caught a bug and I was feeling terribly nauseous. I actually suffered the whole day before it came to me while laying in bed that ginger was an excellent remedy for nausea. I knew I had run out of ginger tea but I made myself go check the cupboard anyway. Low and behold, there was one pack waiting for me. It was a perfect remedy that allowed my nausea to settle down enough for me to fall asleep. The next morning, at least in the stomach department, I was whole once more

This is my favorite tea! I grew up drink and eating a lot of ginger so I’m inclined towards ginger tea. The ginger flavor is so strong and I absolutely love it. It is great for stomach cramps and clearing my sinuses. I could drink this everyday!

This ginger tea is the best instant ginger tea that I have ever had. It is perfect for those days that you have a sore throat as it burns on the way down and leaves your throat feeling minty. It has a strong ginger taste to it that just warms you up and makes you feel better on your sick days. I highly recommend this tea for those that like strong ginger teas and those that have a sore throat.

I find the flavor of this “tea” to not be very enjoyable, which came as a surprise because I am very fond of spicy things. And this drink is definitely spicy to the point where I am sure most people I know couldn’t even handle it. Seems like it’d be good to rid a stuffy nose though, but then again so is our pharmacy’s basic nose spray and that doesn’t make me struggle through a cup of liquid lava.

Right now, I am drinking a big mug of only one full sachet that I’ve dissolved in hot boiled water, to try and calm the burning stomach acid. It feels a little counterproductive to drink something so spicy, however main reason I got this drink is for it’s ailing properties, not per say for it’s taste, though it would’ve been nice had I been able to appreciate the flavor more as well.

I think this will be better enjoyed for it’s flavor when I’d use about a teaspoon from a sachet and put that in a cup of chai latte or something of the sort. To drink this purely though, is too much for me to enjoy. Anyway. It’s now been a while since I’ve finished this drink to try and get my stomach to calm down. It didn’t help at all. So I personally do not recommend this tea, neither for it’s flavor or the medicinal approach. It’s personal though.

A friend bought a package of these, and gifted them to me. It came with a mug that indicates how “work ready” I am based on how much of the mug is gone. Cute!
I tried the tea while in the office the other day. It was surprisingly good, but very sweet. Almost as sweet as a regular full strength latte at starbucks. Too much for me!
Looking at the ingredients (all the things that shouldn’t go in a “healthy” drink including hydrogenated oils), I expected a mug of fake matcha flavouring. Except it was actually pretty accurate; a melted hot version of matcha ice-cream. Not the super creamy ice-cream where the flavour is more of a background note, but the kind where your mouth kinda puckers from the dryness in the matcha powder.
I don’t think I will ever be able to consume all of what my friend gave me. While uberly yummy, it is just too sugary for my tastes. Maybe I can find a way to use it up in cooking? baking? I’ve used regular matcha powder in baking, but with all the extra ingredients here I’m not sure how it would work

WHOA. I was expecting a hit of ginger with this tea, but this is UBER GINGER INCARNATE.

Not that that’s a bad thing. I’m just glad that I didn’t follow the instructions on the package – they recommended using 1 cup of hot water per packet, but I used 2 cups instead. Even with double the amount of liquid, it is still a giant ginger tsunami.

Whenever I go to Spring Rolls, I almost always get their ginger tea, and have tried for years to figure out what they put in it. This tastes pretty much exactly the same, so that’s one less thing to worry about!

Seriously. This is ginger-iffic.

I’ve had this at least four times in the past week, as evidenced that I only have one package left. Boo. Still junky/fake food tea, but oh-so-yum.

Uh, so…. this packs a whallop of caffeine. Like, more than any matcha I’ve had (and I used to drink it constantly, it helped me to focus). It’s like the junk food of matcha – comes pre-packaged, has a ton of ingredients that shouldn’t be in there including glucose (twice) and hydrogenated oils, you name it. Yet the ginger zing really, really came out in this – almost like a ginger latte more than a ginger matcha latte. Guilty pleasure, just maybe not so late (2pm) in the day, because it’s 9pm now, and I feel very weird. Not good. Definitely the matcha.

I know this is not really tea per se, but it is already in the data base so I thought I would give my review.

I have become addicted to bento. For most of my life I have been addicted to Asian cuisine, very specifically Japanese. And every once in a while I fancy myself an amazing chef and try my hand at making some delicious food. Just a note, Japanese chefs are amazingly skilled, that stuff is hard to pull off and make taste good. But even harder to pull it off and make it look good too. Throughout my bento quest I have been doing a lot of experimenting. So long story, I decided this weekend I was going to go all out and make sushi. I haven’t made sushi in such a long time. I ended up doing maki-sushi, a whole bunch of different onigiri, tamygoyaki, and some lettuce rolls. I wasn’t even hungry by the time I had everything prepared.

So anyway the point of this story is that I had to go shopping for ingredients, and I couldn’t find everything I wanted and I was scouring the shelves and came across this. And of course, I had to buy it.

I was not expecting too much, but if you were sitting in the room with me, this was my review: coughs out loud and then “WOW!”.

Holy spice, Ginger Drink! I actually used more water then recommended too. This comes packaged in individual servings. The granules are actually a fare size, they reminded me of yeasty coloured pellet fish food (gross, I know). The smell was kind of ginger but you could also strongly smell honey. After the tea is dissolved it smells strongly ginger, but it is almost not like real ginger. Is there such a thing as fake ginger? The taste of this is definitely kick you in the face ginger. There is quite a bit of spice too it. There is a very strong honey sweetness. There is more honey then I would have liked but this will work.

Someone in one of the threads was asking about teas for your nose? Well this one would definitely get your nose running and your sinuses clear.

My guy got me this at World Market not too long ago. When I need something sweet, I tend to go for this powdered drink mix. It’s like drinking candy. I know what I am paying for here, and this is no Koicha. (or usucha for that matter.) As for the ginger aspect, it is quite strong. I love ginger in all of it’s forms, and I am not afraid of the intensity of this. The flavor tries it’s best to drown out all trace of ‘tea,’ but to no avail.
For more than 6 oz. of water though, I usually double up the packets. It gets watery too easily.

Ugh, PMS of doom, complete with nausea. I figured ginger might help, so my sweetie made me a cup of this. It’s sweet and spicy and incredibly potent – it tastes like pure ginger with sugar, which I think it basically is. Usually the back of the throat heat from it is nice, but last night it was a little too much.

This is sweet and extremely spicy. Super comforting if you’re not feeling well, or just need to warm up.

I had some last night, to help with nausea, which it really did, but this is also just a daily staple in our house.

an instant matcha powder, with mixed in sweetener, ginger and milk powder. Can be either served hot or cold. Ginger taste is quite overpowering, besides the fact that the resultant mixture is very green, matcha flavor is not easily discovered. Is rather sweet, reminds me somewhat of condensed milk. I consider this more a sort of warm softdrink rather then tea. I imagine this would be great for a sore throat.

The taste of this instant tea reminds me of the base for bubble tea. it’s creamy and very sweet (i did not add any milk or sugar), but leaves an oily taste on the tongue. the ‘tea’ doesn’t really come through for me, it’s more of a bitter aftertaste. there are a lot of artificial ingredients in here also, which I’m not a fan of. But I do love bubble tea, and this is a quick and easy substitue if you can’t get out to a bubble tea shop.

This tea is not that good for you since it’s a mix, but it’s also not that bad, and it tastes great! Not too sweet, a little bit of body from the milk (especially if you mix it with less water than it says to, like I do), and a good strong almost-real tea taste— not like the Lipton instant teas that all sort of taste harsh or sour at all.

This is the only tea that I will add milk to. In fact, I add one spoon of sugar and a splash of milk into this one. This tea is so insanely wonderful, I drink it almost daily!

It’s probably all that random weird stuff that I don’t care much about in this tea, but it adds up to 70 calories if you don’t add extra milk and sugar like me. 10g out of the total 18g of this is sugar! Gosh that sounds horrible, but it does taste nice. So half of this tea is sugar; didn’t expect that. There is probably caffeine in this too. It still feels quite relaxing to drink this though.

Love this tea even with it’s unhealthy factors. Trust me, this stuff tastes good.

P.S
It’s in powder form, so one cup/ packet. So steep time? There isn’t really. Just pour in the tea and mix it.

It sound ominous, doesn’t it? “Ginger Drink.” Reminds me of drinking Malk, now with Vitamin R! ;)

Let me assure you that this isn’t ominous at all. It’s dehydrated ginger and honey, and that’s it. It is also the second most brilliant thing ever when you are sick.

Feeling nauseous? Drink some of this. Sniffly, throat hurting, feeling achy and generally terrible? Drink some of this. It’ll perk you right up, seriously. Boiling water, maybe a little milk, and you’re good.

I may love it because of family associations, though. Y’see, my aunt had this family remedy for illness. Peel + slice up fresh ginger, then boil in a pot of water until the water gets really, really gingery. Pour it into your mug over crushed red chilli pepper flakes. Add a little honey or sugar if you like to sweeten it up. Milk also acceptable.

She was right, too. I felt better every time. The combination of ginger and chilli peppers can lick just about any feeling of sickness.

This is a lot like that, only with less effort involved. When you’re sick, chances are good you probably don’t feel like peeling ginger. (The slicing’s easy, but peeling ginger sucks out loud.) I’ve got a stockpile of this on hand for anytime I’m feeling at all under the weather. :)
