| Awesome earthy taste | May 16, 2013 | |
| I love that they did not try to add rose hips or hibiscus to this tea. It has a clean earthy taste that I can't get enough of. This is like no other tea I have ever tasted. |
| SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE | May 05, 2013 | |
| Amazing flavors combine to make this one a genuine surprise. The fragrance of the tea is wonderful to enjoy as well. Clean and refreshing with fruity notes. I will be re-ordering this one! I ordered it because of the reported health benefits of turmeric and of ginger not expecting it to delight my taste buds...more of a "medicinal" tea I was predicting. I was pleasantly proven wrong. If you have not sampled this one I suggest you should. |
| not bad | May 01, 2013 | |
| The taste is better than I expected, but not enough to make me add it to my regular repeat buys. There just isn't enough cabinet space. Do make sure you wipe up spills right away since the turmeric stains. I now have a yellow ring on the counter that I didn't catch quickly enough. |
| yum | April 22, 2013 | |
| pleasantly mild |
| Love this tea! | April 20, 2013 | |
| Just tried this tea-got the sample with my last order. I am very impressed and will order more! |
| Delicious & Soothing | April 19, 2013 | |
| I find this tea to be delicious, earthy and very soothing as my morning cup. I have had issues with stomach upset from certain tea, and the zingy ginger and spicy turmeric are the perfect combo for me. And with the outstanding health properties of ginger, turmeric and green tea, it's perfection in a cup! |
| Pleasantly surprised! | April 12, 2013 | |
| Like so many of you who left comments about this tea, I, too, was VERY hesitant about this tea. I have IBS, so I actually take turmeric supplements, and based on how they smell, I certainly would not have tried this tea had I not received a sample. I was super curious when I initially received it, so I opened it to get a whiff. Same earthy smell as the tablets I take (like stinky feet)! Anyway, here it is a month or so later, and since I hadn't thrown the sample away, and since I had a really rough night last night with the IBS, I decided to finally give it a try. Seriously, this tea is AMAZING. I can taste both the ginger and the turmeric, and it is surprisingly smooth and delicious with the honey (I always add my own as well). No heartburn issues with me, either (as noted in a couple comments) -- it is mild, delicate, and soothing -- and this is coming from a person who actually ADDS ginger powder and white pepper to a cup of chai tea! At any rate, I'm here tonight to purchase this delightful tea. |
| Place Catchy Title Here | April 11, 2013 | |
| Just like many of the other reviewers, I received the bag with the magazine and was turned off by the scent at first. I also decided to try it anyway and was very surprised I liked it so much. There was a unique flavor there that I could only describe as 'earthy'. I plan on ordering some, and recommend trying it. |
| Smells funny but tastes delicious | March 18, 2013 | |
| I received a sample tea bag with a catalog I received in the mail. It smelled strange and I did not think I would like it, but decided to take a chance... So happy I did!!!! It's tea is excellent! I drink it without honey most of the time, but its delicious with a teaspoon of honey also. I highly recommend this flavor. Some reviews said it gave them heartburn, I have not experienced this problem at all. In fact, I found that the ginger actually settles my stomach. |
| Love it! | March 17, 2013 | |
| several reviewers did not like the smell in the bag dry.... I found it intriguing. I love tumeric and ginger both but would not have considered tumeric in a tea. I like tea very weak so I poured almost-boiling water over the bag and left it for maybe 45 seconds. this created a delicious, delicate tea which I really enjoyed. |
| Pleasant but.... | March 16, 2013 | |
| I wasn't impressed w/the flavor. Ginger teas are some of my fav's but I wasn't WOW-ed like so many others. Recvd a sample bag w/my catalog & glad I could try it as a sample instead of buying a tin. The blend is pleasant, just not my cuppa tea ;^) |
| Delightfully Mislead | March 12, 2013 | |
| First, I am VERY picky with tea, and there are very few flavors that I like. A score of three is a good score for me. With that in mind I got the bag free with the catalog. It smells like a hippie's house, which I did not like, but I gave it a shot anyway. It was absolutely delicious. The scent was misleading, and I really liked the tea. |
| Surprise! | March 11, 2013 | |
| What a surprise! I got a free teabag with the catalog. I opened it today and smelled the teabag. YUCK! ...or so I thought. I figured I'd give it a taste anyway, I could always throw it out but I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it's delicious! I have rosacea so I hope the anti-inflammatory properties will help that. |
| Surprisingly wonderful | December 15, 2012 | |
| I needed more ginger in life so I decided to give this a whirl. It is sweet and tasty. I can taste the ginger and turmeric, and the touch of honey in the tea mellows the spice. I was concerned about heartburn (a problem for me) but I had none. My favorite. |
| Benefits of turmeric in a new way | November 14, 2012 | |
| I know no medical claims are made for turmeric teas but I am a believer in the value of turmeric and enjoy using turmeric tea either by itself. Also I often combine a bag of Turmeric tea with another tea or with Tart Cherry concentrate for the benefits of both. |
| Smooth but has after effect | November 11, 2012 | |
| After reading several good reviews, I decided to try this blend because of the great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of ginger and turmeric. Although the tea tasted smooth enough, I found that it gave me terrific heartburn an hour or two after drinking - so no more spiced turmeric ginger for me! I'll stick with some of my other Republic of Tea favorites. |
| great tasting & medicinal | October 31, 2012 | |
| not only is this tea soothing & taste great, the turmeric & ginger with the other added ingredients has helped my asthma. on a scale of 1-10 my asthma has come down to a 1-2 from 8-9 & it's fall in Chicago which is a bad time for me. I drink 3 cups a day & can even sleep thru the night, I add organic honey-do not add sugar! turmeric & ginger have anti-inflammatory properties & ginger soothes my stomach. I can go around flowers & fresh cut grass. I'v been in & out of the hospital & intubated twice. I'm sooo glad I did my research & found this tea. I wish I'd had it 30 years ago! THANKS REPUBLIC OF TEA ('-') |
| Exceptional | October 24, 2012 | |
| Of all the Turmeric brands, this one is not only the best tasting, it does indeed bring soothing and healing to the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract. |
| suprizing taste | October 04, 2012 | |
| very pleasent flavor |
| September 04, 2012 | ||
| I drink a lot of tea and this is by far my favorite. The addition of turmeric is wonderful. Such a smooth cup of tea, I start each day with a cup or two. I have to buy this in bulk because my husband who usually goes for fruit teas, has discovered he loves this one too. |
| smooth | July 30, 2012 | |
| each cup tastes so fresh and consistant Thanks for such a good product. |
| Organic Tumeric Ginger - TASTY !! | July 19, 2012 | |
| I wasn't sure what to expect but wanted to try this tea because it has tumeric in it. It turned out to be pleasantly surprising - a gentle flavor with a little subtle spiciness to it. Very enjoyable. My only regret is the cost of shipping and I hope TROT is working hard to bring that cost down at least on their refill shipments. So 5 teapots for the tea and 3 teapots for the shipping charge. |
| Great! Great! Great! | July 08, 2012 | |
| Wow! I loved this from the very beginning. I recently purchased directly from their web because the place from where I usually get this has been out of Turmeric Ginger for quite a while. First time I tried it, I was amazed. I highly recommend this product, if you don't like it, you probably are too picky and just to hard to make happy, because it is truly tasty; add some milk, cream, or simply by itself; it's just wonderful. I really can't see anybody not liking this; just in case you don't like it, at least try it a couple of times so that you can really appreciate the hidden taste, close your eyes, and your taste buds will thank you. |

| nice flavor but more important than the taste, my husband finds it helps him with inflammation when his back acts up. |
| Great to cook with, too! | May 16, 2012 | |
| I was a bit hesitant to try this tea but since I love ginger and green tea I gave it a try. Makes a lovely golden cup of tea -- the turmeric and ginger are present without being overwhelming. However I find the real strength of this blend lies in cooking with it. I add one bag along with a few threads of saffron to the pot when I am cooking brown rice. The spices in the tea infuse into the rice and give it a fabulous aroma and taste as well as a lovely golden color thanks to the turmeric. |
| Enjoyable and Healthy drink | May 05, 2012 | |
| I find this an enjoyable way to take my medicine. I try to eat foods that cool inflammation in my body and from what I read this combination is quite helpful in this area. And -- it tastes good too. |
| Pain Relief!! | April 24, 2012 | |
| I read online that Turmeric Tea is an Anti-Inflammatory and has helped MS patients. I don't have MS but have an inflammation on my spinal cord (Transverse Myelitis) which has caused me pain in my legs and feet for 3 years now. So, I ordered the tea and have been drinking it, 2 cups every day for about 3 weeks now and am actually feeling some relief! I am so excited that I am feeling better and have less pain and the reason has to be because of this tea. The taste is light and pleasurable also. |
| Warm and Cozy | March 27, 2012 | |
| I must admit the first bup was a bit off-putting, not at all what one would expect from a green tea, but the spicy, earthy warmth of the turmeric won me over. This is one of my favorite go to teas on a chilly morning. And drinking something so health promoting gives me a mental boost too. |
| my all time favorite! | March 23, 2012 | |
| this is my favorite of them all! it has all the health benefits & it's organic. i make sure i take this daily & it taste good, too. |
| In Love | February 28, 2012 | |
| I purchased this tea strictly out of curiousity and ended up falling in love with it! The flavor loosely resembles a chai flavor, but is lighter. I've added this tea to the #2 spot on my top 5 Republic of Tea teas. |
| Good and different | February 22, 2012 | |
| Earthy but light, pungent and aromatic. Ginger is not overwhelming, no "heat", very balanced with other flavours. I could imagine how some folks wouldn't love this tea, in particular people who rarely drink tea. But I like it and the health benefits. |
| healthy and delicious | February 11, 2012 | |
| I first ordered this tea as a way to get turmeric into my daily diet. Now I keep a supply in my home and office at all times because I enjoy it so much and I like knowing I'm doing something good for my health. I use a large mug and combine the turmeric tea with cinnamon orange red tea. The natural sweetness of this blend makes added sweetener unnecessary and complements the spices. I hope both of these teas will always be available because I'm hooked! |
| Terrific Tea | February 10, 2012 | |
| Tempting flavors in this tea, but the terrific comes when you drink it every day. It's produced a significant reduction in pain produced by inflammation and an equally significant increase in joint flexibility. This tea deserves a permanent place in the ROT market. |
| This is the only tea I make at home now. | February 07, 2012 | |
| I saw this on a shelf in an organic grocery store and thought it sounded so healthy. After a few months of drinking two cups a day, I noticed that all of my daily aches and pains had diminished significantly. I used to take advil and tylenol several times a week and now I rarely need any pain medications. I love the tea, the taste of it and the health benefits. I have told almost everyone I know about it. My yearly allergies, which would have started up by now, have not started up this year and I really think it's the tea. Thank you so much for making this very special tea. |
| Excellent Tasting and Anti-Inflammatory | January 26, 2012 | |
| I'd been trying to incorporate Turmeric into my diet for months and had been supremely unsuccessful until I tried this tea. I was pleasantly surprised at it's sweet and spicy taste. The powerful synergy of Turmeric and Green Tea (along with Ginger) make this tea the perfect way to get those critical herbs! |
| Healthy | January 10, 2012 | |
| I like this tea very much. But I did have to get use to the ginger taste. It helped me get rid of a cold I had quickly. That was the only tea I drank when I had my cold. I didn't take any mediation either. Maybe it will work that way for some individuals and not for others I don't know. I look forward to drinking it now, whenever I have even a hint of a cold. |
| Health benefits | December 30, 2011 | |
| I tried this initially because of the health benefits of the ingredients. It has since become 1 of my favorites & I hope it continues to be available into the future. |
| Afternoon boost | November 10, 2011 | |
| I like a BIG mug of tea, so I make this with 2 teabags, add sweetener and sometimes soymilk. A good afternoon pick me up. |
| Ayurvedic delight | November 09, 2011 | |
| Beautiful blend of healing in a cup. Good for inflammation, good for digestion, just plain good for health. |
| I love this tea!! | October 26, 2011 | |
| I love this tea, my family loves this tea! When we had the beginnings of colds, we drank it 3x/day for a few days and the colds never happened! I highly recommend this tea! You can add a bit of your favorite honey to sweeten it and soothe a sore throat! Awesome tea! Thank you! |
| Yuck! | September 30, 2011 | |
| The only good thing I can say about this tea is that it doesn't taste as bad as it smells. Couldn't taste the ginger, cinnamon, honey or the green tea--just a kind of dirty taste when I was expecting a "curry" experience. The rest goes into the circular file. |
| I love this tea! | September 25, 2011 | |
| I tried this tea for the Turmeric benefits but I have noticed it has been a hugh help with weight loss, plus it tastes great! Bonus! |
| What an awesome tea! | September 12, 2011 | |
| I LOVE this tea! What an awesome way to get antioxidants! Turmeric and Ginger lend a nice, mellow, earthy taste to green tea....it's like meditation in a cup! |
