Comparison between Sonnentor BIO and Twinings ginger tea

I drink tea daily and a lot of it is Twinings. I don’t think this is the best tea in the world, but I know that most of their mixes will be on my taste, so I just buy their tea from convenience.

Everyone knows the benefits of fresh ginger and also ginger tea. People use to drink ginger tea when they have a cold, but I like to drink it all the time.

First time I tried to make ginger tea by grating some fresh ginger and infusing it in hot water.

Unfortunately, for me this was undrinkable. It was just way too intense and too spicy. I tried adding tons of honey and lemon juice, but nothing helped. I just couldn’t drink it.

After this experience, I bought Twinings Lemon and Ginger Tea and my best friend bought also the Sonnentor BIO Ginger Tea just because this one was organic and the one from Twinings was not.

What I liked about both of them

• They are drinkable, not like the homemade tea I couldn’t bring myself to drink. They are not very spicy, nor intense, so there is no unpleasant feeling when you drink them.
• They don’t contain caffeine, so you can drink them whenever you want, even before going to bed.
• They seem to make me feel better. They are surely healthy.

The differences

• Twinings has a hint of lemon which makes it tastier than Sonnentor.
• Twinings tea has a nicer color, whereas Sonnentor looks cloudy and is more pale.
• Twinings has a more intense aroma, I definitely like it better.
• Sonnentor is organic, but Twinings isn’t BIO and, although it is not clearly stipulated, I believe it has some artificial flavorings.

The conclusion

So, which one of these 2 ginger teas will I continue to buy?

Normally, I should go for Sonnentor, since it is organic. But Twinings tastes and looks better and since I am not drinking tons of ginger tea, I will continue to buy Twinings. If I will be sick and have to drink a lot of ginger tea, I don’t think I would drink neither of these 2 teas. I will try to make my own ginger tea from real ginger, but this next time I will put less ginger. Until then, I am healthy enough to drink Twinings 🙂 .
