Why settle for #oolong tea when you can double the health benefits with the inclusion of some #ginseng?
Ginseng has been used in Chinese medicines for hundreds of years and is believed to have many health benefits as it contains antioxidants and is believed to increase brain function, protect against cancer, boost the immune system, lower blood sugar and increase energy levels*.
As a result of its health benefits, it has been used in tea - both on its own, sliced and boiled - and infused with oolong tea.
Ginseng oolong is made by infusing #tealeaves with powdered ginseng root, before rolling the tea leaves. This way, the powdered ginseng is trapped within the leaves, giving a stronger flavor and better infusion over multiple brews.
Umi Tea Sets kindly sent me their #ginsengoolong - so how was it?
Packaging ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
The packaging for this tea is top notch. The box is really secure, well designed, and keeps the tea nicely secure and air tight meaning it wont be going off quickly! What's more, when it arrived it was bundled up tightly (I may have resorted to the craft knife to get in) and it arrived with no damage which always impressive when things travel half way around the World.
Look ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Ginseng oolong doesn't look like your standard oolong, it actually reminds me of rocks which is why I knocked of one star. This is normal for this type of tea though, and it does unfurl wonderfully like a good oolong should.
Taste ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Okay probably the most important question! I gave this one 5 stars as the oolong and ginseng flavor balance each other well, without one being overpowering or taking something away from the other.
Fancy giving it a go?
