- Triple Leaf Tea - Ginger Tea - 20 Tea Bags Triple Leaf Tea Ginger Tea contains ginger which has long been a popular healthful herb. Ginger root is actually a rhizome, a root-like underground stem. It has been used in China since the 4th century B.C. Ginger traditionally was used as a warming beverage. It was a popular drink, consumed during meals and at other times of the day. It is said that the Chinese scholar Confucius had ginger nearby at every meal. It was regarded as a tonic for yang "chi," or energy, and was a favorite infusion during the cold and chills season. Ginger was brought to the West from Asia, where it has been used as a healthy herb and food spice for 2,000 years or more! Ginger has become increasingly popular because of its delicious, warming and spicy taste. 100% pure ginger root sets this tea apart from other ginger tea blends and gives you the maximum amount of ginger taste! Triple Leaf Tea's ginger tea is delicious hot or iced. Enjoy it as is, or try adding lemon and honey and your favorite sweetener. Triple Leaf Tea Frequently Asked Questions How much caffeine does Triple Leaf Tea's Green Tea have? How does that compare to coffee and black tea? Green tea naturally has approximately 15 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup. Coffee has 80-200 mg/cup. Black Tea has 40-90 mg/cup. How much caffeine is in the Decaf Green Tea? No more than 0.4% caffeine remains in Triple Leaf Decaf Green Tea. That means one tea bag (2000 mg) of 100% decaffeinated green tea contains 8 mg or less of caffeine. What happens to the antioxidant content when you decaffeinate the Decaf Green Tea? Triple Leaf Tea uses a natural carbon dioxide process to decaffeinate the green tea leaves. This process removes the caffeine, leaves no chemical residue, and maintains almost all of the beneficial antioxidants in the tea leaves. How do you brew green, white and herbal teas? Green Teas and Cholesterid Tea: Pour one cup of boiling water over a tea bag. Let steep 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag, and squeeze it gently into the cup. To extract more of tea’s benefits, steep 5 minutes. Normally, over-steeping green teas can make them bitter, however, Triple Leaf Tea green teas are very mild and have little bitterness, so you can steep them longer, according to your taste. They recommend steeping the Decaf Green Tea with Ginseng and the Ginkgo and Decaf Green Tea longer, from 5-10 minutes, or longer, to get the full benefits of the herbs in these teas. These teas do not get bitter with longer steeping. White Tea: Bring one cup of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, then pour it over a tea bag. Let steep 3-5 minutes. To extract more of tea’s benefits and white tea flavor, steep longer. In Chinese tradition, white tea is brewed longer than green tea and can be re-brewed. Herbal Teas: Pour one cup of boiling water over a tea bag. Let steep 10-15 minutes, or longer. Squeeze the tea bag gently into the cup. Leave the tea bag in the cup as you are drinking the tea. To extract more of tea’s benefits, use the longer steeping time. A tea bag can be re-used to extract more herbal benefits. The Ginger Tea and American Ginseng Tea are made from 100% pure root, and can be boiled for a few minutes to extract more flavor and benefits. Be sure to re-use these tea bags a few times to get all their flavor and benefits. Iced Teas: Pour one cup of boiling water over two tea bags. Let steep 5 minutes for green, white and Cholesterid teas, and 10-15 minutes or longer for herbal teas. For more flavor and benefits, steep longer, depending on the tea (see above). Remove the tea bags, squeeze them out gently into the cup, then add ice and enjoy. Try any of Triple Leaf Tea green, white or Cholesterid teas iced, just the way you drink regular iced tea.
