Ginseng and Green Tea

Name: Ginseng

Type: Green, Ginseng

Company/Purchased: Honestly, I don't remember or know the name of the first Ginseng tea I had because I bought it while I was in China. But if I ever go back there I remembered exactly where I purchased it. 

Taste: Amazing. Left a wonderful, but strong aftertaste.

Company/Purchased: Dynasty / United Noodle.

Taste: Somewhat coppery. Not as good as the first but still had that wonderful aftertaste.

One of the great things about drinking tea is that you don’t have to worry about it becoming a bad addiction or it doing unhealthy things to your body. Although, I don’t like to go a day without a cup I know I can get by just fine without it.  So anyway, today felt like a Ginseng type of day so I put on a cup of Ginseng tea. As you can tell from my comments above I love the aftertaste. It’s my main reason for drinking it besides the fact that it’s good, really good, for you.

Ginseng is typically grown in Northern Asia, however there is other types now being produced in other parts of the world. Canada for instance produces the most American Ginseng. Go figure… There's a lot of good that Ginseng does for the body, Listed below in this site are some of them:

If you don't mind trying out new things I really suggest you give this tea a try. It's going to taste a bit weird at first but as it begins to cool down the flavors really start to emerge. On my tea packet it says between 1 and 3 minutes steep time. I usually do mine at about 2 minutes. I like to obtain all the flavor but I don't like to risk it being bitter.
