About This Tea

Ginger has been used for millennia as a warming panacea to treat ailments and to support digestion, immunity, overall health and longevity. Bamboo Ginger is a special variety of spicy and highly aromatic ginger grown in Taiwan and Okinawa. It is harvested at the peak of pungency and aromatic complexity. This spicy powder can be added to all types of tea drinks or simply stirred into hot lemon water and honey, chai or steamed milk-based drinks. It can be used instead of or in combination with fresh ginger or dried ginger.

This premium grade of ginger is cold-milled into a fine powder and vacuum packaged into a convenient resealable bag. The highly aromatic and enlivening character of this ginger is like no other market grade of ginger powder you may have experienced. The roots are grown in the rich red soils of Central Taiwan’s tea growing regions where we source our oolong teas. Our tea supplier’s brother is a professor of agriculture, researcher and grower of medical roots like: ginger, Okinawa varieties of turmeric and types of galangal. He developed farming and processing methods to harvest and produce dried ginger at its peak of maturity when the phenolic and terpene compounds are at peak levels. This ginger is the most aromatic, pungent and warming of any dried ginger. It makes a great spike to any ginger tea or recipe.
