Senvha Ginger Green Tea
What it is
This is a blend of green tea leaves and dried ginger pieces. Green tea is known for its delicate flavor profile, often described as grassy or vegetal. Ginger adds a warm, spicy, and slightly pungent note that complements the tea. The combination creates a beverage that is both soothing and invigorating, offering a unique taste experience beyond plain green tea. It is a popular choice for those seeking a flavorful hot drink.

To prepare, place one tea bag or a teaspoon of loose tea into a mug. Heat fresh water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid over-steeping, as this can result in a bitter taste. You can adjust the steeping time to achieve your desired strength. For a sweeter taste, add honey or a touch of sugar. It can also be chilled and served over ice.
