Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
What does Thai Ginger Root actually taste like?
Aromatic warmth with a bright citrus lift. Thai Ginger Root is made from galangal, giving it a fragrant, lightly piney character and a lively peppery finish. Naturally caffeine-free, this single-root infusion is a delicious discovery for spice lovers. Enjoy plain, add lemon for extra brightness or soften the warmth with a little honey.
Is Thai Ginger Root caffeine-free?
This herbal infusion is naturally caffeine-free.
Should I add milk to this tea?
Best without. Milk tends to mask galangal's bright, aromatic character. A squeeze of lemon or a little honey works better if you want to adjust the flavour.
How many cups will I get from a pouch?
At about 3g per cup, 50g makes roughly 16 cups and 100g about 33 cups. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
How should I store Thai Ginger Root?
Keep the pouch sealed and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells like coffee or spices. It keeps well for months if stored properly.
