Ginger — the dried rhizome of Zingiber officinale — has been cooking and brewing in kitchens across Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean for thousands of years. The dried, cut root is one of the most versatile single-ingredient teas you can keep on the shelf: it brews into a clean spicy cup on its own, blends with anything you put it next to, and stretches a kettle of plain hot water into something with character. Sampson sells it as the simple cut root — nothing blended, nothing added. Brew it alone for a clean spicy cup, or use it as a base to combine with lemon, honey, mint or any tea on the shelf. The same bag works in cooking too: a teaspoon thrown into a soup or a stir-fry adds the same warmth without grating fresh ginger. 🔥 Pure Ginger Root Single ingredient — cut root, not powder ☕ Caffeine-Free Drinks honestly any time of day 🌿 Tea or Cooking Brew alone, blend with anything, or cook with it ✨ **The Sampson Promise** We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Single-Herb Infusion Caffeine None Best Time Anytime Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 5–7 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) ## Tasting Notes 🔥 Sharp Spicy Top Aroma Strong, clean, slightly peppery — the smell of fresh-cut root, not candied ginger candy. The aroma carries across the kitchen the moment hot water hits the cup. 🔥 Warm Building Body Body The warmth builds gradually rather than spiking on the first sip. Cut root brews a slower cup than powder — round in the middle, warm rather than burning. ✨ Long Peppery Finish Aftertaste Closes warm and faintly peppery — the heat hangs in the throat for a few seconds longer than most teas. Naturally sweet underneath, no sugar required. ## How to Brew 01 Measure One heaped teaspoon (about 2–3g) per 8oz cup. The pieces are dense — a level scoop is enough for a softer cup, heaped for a stronger one. 02 Heat the Water Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Real ginger root needs real heat to release. 03 Steep 5–7 Minutes Cover the cup. Five for softer warmth, seven for full spicy body. Re-steeps once more — the second pour is gentler but still distinctly ginger. Water 100°C Time 5–7 min Per Cup 1 heaped tsp Add a slice of fresh lemon and a small spoon of honey for the classic ginger-lemon-honey winter cup. Or brew with mint leaves for a North-African-style sweet ginger glass. Or save the bag for the soup pot — same root works in either. ## About the Tea 🔥 Ginger Root The Whole Cup The dried rhizome of Zingiber officinale — the kitchen-spice ginger that has cooked across Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean for millennia. Cut, not ground, so the cup brews properly and the heat builds gradually rather than dumping all at once. 🌿 Cut, Not Powdered The Process Cut root pieces hold their character through a long steep, can re-steep once or twice, and don’t cloud the cup the way ginger powder does. The visible pieces are a small honest signal: this is real root, not flavour. ✨ Tea or Kitchen Use The Versatility Brews well alone, blends with almost any other tea or herb, and works in the kitchen — soups, stir-fries, rice, marinades. One bag, two functions, the same root behind both. In the tin Cut ginger root (Zingiber officinale). Origin & Sourcing Pure cut ginger root — single ingredient, no blend. The dried rhizome of Zingiber officinale, the kitchen-spice ginger of South Asia and the Middle East. Caffeine-free, naturally gluten-free, packed in small batches for the Sampson shelf. ## Images - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/ginger-pieces-tea-8813175.jpg?v=1780653427 - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/ginger-pieces-tea-7598658.jpg?v=1780653427
