Ginger Green Tea

Another fantastic Asian market find, this green tea has the added twist of ginger root to add a slightly spicy kick.
Home remedy central?
We purchased a box of 50 sachets of Ginger Green tea with the hopes it would alleviate stomach pain. 
A single sachet
A slightly over-steeped cup
 After a bit of fail, I finally succeeded in creating a delicious tea with a 5 minute steep time. With a full five minutes, you get a big gingery flavor without the bitterness. Unfortunately on second or third steeps of the same bag, the ginger seems to be mostly lost.

We did notice that there is a big difference in ginger-to-green-tea ratio (ie strength of ginger flavor) from sachet to sachet. So luck of the draw, maybe?
