Zenvivian Ginseng Six Treasure Tea

It has a smooth, earthy flavor with natural sweetness—think ginseng and red dates as the main notes, with hints of goji berries and mulberry. The ginseng gives it a slight earthy undertone, but it's not bitter at all. Eight reviewers specifically mentioned how smooth it is, and several were pleasantly surprised by the natural sweetness without any added sugar. The flavor is moderate strength—not overpowering, but definitely present and aromatic.

Absolutely. This is actually a great starter herbal tea because it's incredibly forgiving. Just steep for 3-5 minutes and you'll get consistent results—it won't turn bitter if you leave it a bit too long. The natural sweetness and balanced flavor make it approachable, and you can drink it hot or cold. Reviewers mentioned it's easy and quick to prepare, so there's no fussy ritual required to enjoy it.

This is a six-ingredient blend—ginseng, wolfberry (goji), red dates, maca, polygonatum sibiricum, and mulberry—so you're getting a much more complex flavor profile than you'd find in a single-herb tea. Enthusiasts appreciate that you can really pick out the different notes if you pay attention: the ginseng earthiness, the sweetness from the dates, the subtle fruit notes from the goji and mulberry. It steeps to a deep, rich color and has what reviewers call a 'rich essence' when properly prepared.

Yes, though many reviewers enjoy it straight because of the natural sweetness. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add honey or sugar—the base flavor is balanced enough that it takes additions well without becoming cloying. Some people also experiment with steeping time to adjust the strength, though 3-5 minutes seems to be the sweet spot for most.

It's definitely noticeable—you'll taste the ginseng—but it's not overwhelming. The blend balances the ginseng with the sweetness of red dates and the other ingredients, so it doesn't dominate. Reviewers mentioned a 'slight ginseng bitterness' but emphasized it's not bitter overall. If you've tried straight ginseng tea and found it too intense, this is much mellower while still giving you that characteristic ginseng note.

Yes, the aroma is one of the standout features. Five reviewers specifically called out the 'rich aroma' when steeping. It's that warm, earthy, slightly sweet herbal scent you'd expect from a quality blend with dates and ginseng. If you enjoy teas that smell as good as they taste, this delivers on that front.
