ARIEL Fresh Ginger
Green Tea
A whole leaf green tea blended with ginger pieces and marigold petals, built for tea programs that want a recognisable ginger position with a soft citrus lift. Available in a 90 g loose leaf tin – a destination format for specialty retail and tasting programs rather than a high-volume bulk position. The cup pours a clear pale yellow with a warm, lightly spicy character; serves equally well hot or chilled over ice for warmer-weather menus.
Tasting Notes
The cup pours a clear pale yellow with a fresh ginger aroma at the front. Ginger leads – warm and pleasantly spicy rather than sharp – with a soft natural citrus lift underneath. The green tea base contributes a quiet vegetal note, while the marigold petals add visual character to the loose blend. Low astringency, clean finish, and a gently warming character that reads well in cooler weather as well as iced.
Blend
The base is whole leaf Chinese green tea. Ginger pieces carry the signature character; natural flavours contribute the soft citrus lift in the cup. Marigold petals add yellow-orange colour to the loose-leaf cut without competing for the palate. Green tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, and the ginger pairing is one of the most established preparations across global tea traditions – widely served as both a daytime menu position and an after-meal cup.
Brewing
Steep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 90 °C for 2 minutes. The shorter steep window matters operationally: green tea pulls bitterness past 2 ½ minutes, and the ginger character reads cleanest without over-extraction. A 90 g tin yields approximately 36 portions at 2.5 g per cup. Each 250 ml serving contains zero calories.
