Our Review: Okay, come on, Teapigs.  Anyone can do the maths.  Surely, if there's 50% ginger and 25% cinnamon, there must be 25% liquorice root...so why no percentage listed?  Is there some hidden ingredient you're not sharing with us?  Is that why this blend is so disgusting?

It looks far darker than you'd expect from a ginger drink.  That should have been our first clue that this would taste nothing like ginger.  In fact, it sort of tastes like nothing at all...followed by sickly sweetness (liquorice), the barest hint of cinnamon, a very faint hint of warmth (ginger, we suppose)...followed by a lot of, 'Ugh, I can't get this taste out of my mouth - blech!'

It truly is vile.  If you want ginger, you don't want all that sweetness; you want fire.  We can't understand the inclusion of liquorice, at all.  Surely ginger and cinnamon would be enough.  This one was a fail.  That's why we're marking it AVOID.
