I deal with chronic stomach issues, so I regularly drink ginger tea. I don’t know if it actually makes me feel better, but I like the way it tastes and my doctor recommended it, so there’s no reason to stop drinking it. But when it comes to ginger tea, how does one decide which to buy? There are seemingly one hundred thousand brands!
Luckily, I tried all one hundred thousand to figure out which ones are the best. Well, not quite one hundred thousand, but pretty close. And I did find what I believe to be some of the best ginger teas on the market. If you’re looking for good ginger tea, check out the list below. It’s not that steep. I mean, deep.

- Traditional Medicinals Organic Ginger
-
Traditional Medicinals Ginger tea has the purest ginger flavor of any of the ginger teas we tried in our comprehensive taste test. It has light floral undertones and tastes like fresh ginger steeped in water. If you’re looking for clean, simple, powerful ginger flavor (which I’m assuming you are because you’re drinking ginger tea), this is a perfect option for you. So soothing, so calming, so helpful for digestion. A perfect 10!

- Great Value Lemon & Ginger
-
I never thought it would be this way, but I have become a total Walmart product stan. Great Value products are literally a great value, and before you ask, no, this is not an ad! Their products are regularly delicious, and this lemon and ginger tea is no exception. This is a tea that is gingery enough for a ginger lover and mild enough for people who can’t handle a ton of spice. I think the nuanced flavor would make it perfect hot or iced.

- Yogi Turmeric Vitality Sweet Ginger Citrus
-
Yogi’s Turmeric Vitality Sweet Citrus Ginger Tea has a bunch of different stuff jam-packed into one tiny teabag. It’s like the sangria of teas. It contains ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, lemon peel, and cardamom. And that’s not even the entire ingredient list. While there are a lot of ingredients, they all stand out on their own. It’s a little sweet, very bright, and floral. You could drink this without adding a single thing.

- Pukka Three Ginger Organic Herbal Tea
-
Let’s start with the three gingers: Pukka Three Ginger Organic Herbal Tea has “a warming swirl of ginger, galangal, and turmeric.” If you’re worried that three gingers are too many gingers, don’t panic! The flavor is well-rounded. It’s a soft ginger taste that rides your tongue like a gentle wave—a skimboarding wave, not a surfing wave. Are these analogies working? Do Sporked readers like the ocean? Regardless, go buy this tea.

- Trader Joe’s Organic Ginger Turmeric Herbal Tea
-
Trader Joe’s doesn’t always make the most flavorful products, so I was shocked when I tasted this tea. It’s actually really good! It has organic black pepper in it which makes it a little spicier than some of the others we tried. It has a sweet finish and you also totally taste the turmeric. If you’re congested or have a sore throat, this tea would punt you right back to perfect health.

- Republic of Tea Ginger Peach Tea
-
When I’m splurging on tea, this is what I buy. I love Republic of Tea. The first time I ever had it was at a fancy Mexican restaurant my family would go to for special occasions when I was growing up. It was served cold in big glass bottles. Because I have such fond memories of this tea, I was worried that it wouldn’t be as good when going head-to-head with the other ginger teas. I was wrong! It’s perfect! The scent is beautiful, the taste is gentle, and it feels elegant. It’s good both sweetened and unsweetened. The pretty packaging, plus the short, natural ingredient list (ginger, natural peach flavor, and black tea) make it feel more expensive. A canister of this tea would be an awesome gift for any tea lover (like, specifically me).
