Review: This sore throat has me feeling and acting like a crack addict…Only replace the crack with herbal remedies. Busting into Half & Half, sweaty from my bike ride to Wicker Park, I verbally accosted the nice young man working behind the counter, letting loose a rampage of questions and requests.
“Do you have lemon ginger tea? No? Well, how about any tea with ginger in it? Oh, there is some Ginger Peach. I’ll take a ginger peach tea please. Maybe that’ll help with this sore throat I have. Thanks!”
Or maybe if I shut up and stop blathering to strangers about my personal ailments and give my vocal cords a rest then this sore throat will go away.
The hot tea was soothing to my tender throat, but I think that is only because it was hot and not because it was ginger or peach. I don’t really enjoy fruit flavored teas outside of lemon, and the peach flavor of this one was especially strong and noticeable. The few sips I took while waiting for a friend to meet me for dinner soothed my throat long enough to make our short bike ride to Lula Cafe a painless one though.
I do enjoy Republic of Tea teas, but next time I will stick with their green tea instead of reaching for anything with ginger in the title.
