Love this ginger for tea. Also add it to the grinder when grinding coffee beans for a little spice to the french press!

Chopped Ginger

Chopped ginger is great for infusion into teas and syrups. When the hot water hits the spice, the "bite" of ginger is re-hydrated and the aromatic qualities transfer to the liquid. We don't recommend grinding this ginger at home as the rough fibers are very difficult to process. Use ginger powder if you need the ground form for baking.

Tea 101
Chopped ginger, primarily used for its aromatic and flavor-enhancing properties, is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, especially for those who love a touch of zest in their teas and syrups. Unlike its powdered counterpart, chopped ginger is ideal for infusions, releasing its pungent bite and aromatic qualities when steeped in hot water.
Ginger, known botanically as *Zingiber officinale*, originated in Southeast Asia. Ginger has been both a culinary and medicinal staple in many cultures, particularly in India and China, where it was used as early as the 4th century BC. The spice was so valued that it was commonly traded through the ancient world, including via the Roman Empire, which helped to spread its use throughout Europe. In medieval Europe, ginger was a component of the spice trade that came through the Middle Eastern routes.
Chopped ginger has a robust flavor that brings a warm, spicy kick to beverages and syrups. Its ability to infuse drinks with a rich, zesty aroma makes it a go-to for crafting vibrant teas or enhancing sweet syrups. The texture and quality of the chopped form allow for a slow release of flavor, which is perfect for those who appreciate a more subtle and deep infusion, rather than the immediate sharpness of powdered spices.
Dried ginger has a more intense, concentrated flavor compared to fresh ginger. It’s spicier and sometimes slightly sweeter, with a warm, earthy undertone.
