Holiday Time!
This week - Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice
Cost: $2.99 at Whole Foods, on sale at Target $1.77
Number of teabags: 20 - individually sealed in attached double paper bags
Caffeine: No
Type of tea: Herbal
Steeping time: 4 - 6 minutes
Double Dipper potential: Didn't try
Mix ins: Sugar and milk
Teabag fragrance: Ginger
Ingredients: Cinnamon, ginger, roasted chicory root, roasted barley malt, natural flavors (contains soy lecithin) and luo han guo.
Taste: Pretty darn close to gingerbread!
My opinion: Luo Han Guo is the next potential darling on the sweetener front. It's a Chinese herb with sweetening properties. Therefore, you don't have to add as much sugar, if you normally do. Overall, another very cool Celestial Seasonings tea -- it does smell and taste like gingerbread!
Rating: 4 teabags out of 5. I would definitely buy this again next year.
