BlendMaster's Notes
Green tea leaves come from the same plant as traditional black tea, but are quickly dried to preserve their vibrant color and natural antioxidants. We've blended in our authentic decaf green tea with delicate, decaffeinated Bai Mu Dan white tea - one of the rarest and youngest of tea - to create a smooth, balanced cup with a pleasantly mild flavor - Charlie Baden)

nutrition (it doesn't tell you how much of each it contains, but it taste like 60-70% green with 30-40% white):

Verdict: Mild Ginger slightly buttery taste with just a hint of a Thai sweetness undertone, this soup looks ugly, but trust me, it taste much better than it looks!

The sodium content is a little too high.

Noodles: Firm (these were microwaved, boiling will make them more tender)

Make it better by: Add a little sliced chili pepper, scallion and/or cilantro for a special kick!

Fun fact: Thai Ginger isnt the “ginger” most westerners know. Its actually a different ingredient somewhat related to the ginger plant, but has a different taste. The real name for it is called “galangal” (which can be found in the ingredient list).
