It is considered an herbal tea and is known for its spicy, pungent aroma. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-tp-hairline\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/teepapst\/assets\/img\/teelexikon\/ingwertee.jpg\" alt=\"Ginger tea, fresh ginger and infusion\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin and cultivation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ginger originally comes from the greater Asian region, especially China and India, and reached Europe via maritime trade. Today, the root is mainly grown in tropical and subtropical Asia, as well as in Africa, South America and India, and in smaller quantities in Japan, Australia, France and Peru. Aroma and pungency vary depending on the growing region.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The plant<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ginger plant produces shoots with flower spikes from tuber-like roots. Unlike most herbal teas, ginger uses only the aromatic root, not leaves or flowers. Worldwide, there are around 150 ginger varieties of different quality and flavor profiles, such as mild \u201cThai ginger\u201d or \u201cChinese ginger\u201d.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taste and preparation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ginger offers a wide range of aromas, from spicy to hot, with fresh citrus notes through to a slightly sweet note. Just a few thin slices of ginger infused with hot water make a flavorful tea, often enjoyed with honey. If you finely grate the root before brewing, you\u2019ll get a more intense taste. In summer, ginger is also great for refreshing drinks, such as ginger water with lemon and honey.   <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store fresh ginger root in a cool, dry place, ideally unwrapped in the refrigerator. Keep dried ginger slices or powder airtight and protected from light. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-m-font-size\">Fresh ginger or ginger powder \u2013 which is better for tea?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh root gives a livelier, more complex aroma. Powder is convenient on the go, but loses intensity more quickly. <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-m-font-size\">Does ginger need to be peeled?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily\u2014if it\u2019s thoroughly washed organic ginger, you can infuse it with the peel on; it also contains aromatic compounds.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity tp-rule\" \/><p class=\"tp-eyebrow wp-block-paragraph\">Discover more topics<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5c37fcd6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-card tp-tea-tile has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/tea-encyclopedia\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/spiced-tea\/chai-tea\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/teepapst\/assets\/img\/teelexikon\/chai-tee.jpg\" alt=\"Chai tea, spice blend and infusion\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-tea-tile-body has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/tea-encyclopedia\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/spiced-tea\/chai-tea\/\">Chai tea<\/a><\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-card tp-tea-tile has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/tea-encyclopedia\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/herbal-tea\/fennel-tea\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/teepapst\/assets\/img\/teelexikon\/fencheltee.jpg\" alt=\"Fennel tea, fennel seeds and infusion\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-tea-tile-body has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/tea-encyclopedia\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/herbal-tea\/fennel-tea\/\">Fennel tea<\/a><\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-card tp-tea-tile has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/herbal-tea\/chamomile-tea\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/teepapst\/assets\/img\/teelexikon\/kamillentee.jpg\" alt=\"Chamomile tea, chamomile flowers and infusion\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tp-tea-tile-body has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/herbal-tea\/chamomile-tea\/\">Chamomile tea<\/a><\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-s-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teepapst.com\/en\/the-3-worlds-of-infusions\/herbal-tea\/\">Back to herbal tea<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is ginger tea?
