Ginger

Derived from the Old French gingibre for spirit, spunk or temper, ginger has been prized for its aromatic, culinary and medicinal properties for thousands of years – mentioned in countless ancient medical treatises from China and India all the way to the Middle East. Also known as the “root of health,” this fragrant panacea brews up a wonderfully spicy and exotic cup – equally delicious hot or cold. It’s all cut and dried on the PAPER & TEA ginger front: treat these golden nuggets to an extended stint in the pot to unleash their succulent zing – adding honey, brown sugar, sliced lemon or a touch of orange peel for that final touch.
