This is currently one of if not my favorite blended/flavored tea. It has a strong aroma that smells exactly like baking gingerbread, a nice smooth mouth feel, and it tastes similar to how it smells. The gingerbread flavor isn't overpowering, you can still taste the black tea, however it is the dominant flavor. Although I did find that I get the best results using more than recommended. I often do this with blended or flavored teas that have large chunks of other non-tea things in them that take up space, and this has pieces of ginger in it. I found I got the best results around 1.5 - 2 tsp per 8oz of water.
