Korean Ginseng Granule Tea review

packet of Korean Ginseng Granule Tea

Korean sellers on eBay are super nice because they always provide free samples!... for one of my orders, this packet of Korean Ginseng Granule Tea was provided... (cool, huh?)

I know that Korean Ginseng Granule Tea is super famous (because Korean Ginseng is really good for you

here are some benefits I know of:

• strengthen your immune system
• can aid in preventing diabetes

directions

directions are very simple:

Dissolve 1-2 tea bags* into a glass of cold or hot water and stir well (sweeten with honey or sugar if desired). 

*notice they call it tea bags... these are NOT tea bags... the formula has been crystallized... not tea bag form.

Since I only had one packet, I had to test out the taste... but no matter how little water I used, the taste was not strong...

impressions:

• very mild taste, tastes almost like water
• feels healthy, you are in control of the sweetness
• easy to dissolve, even in cold water

how it looks before honey

I know that some find the taste of Ginseng unbearable... not me though... I like it's defining taste... but for those who do find it unbearable... you will like this tea, because it is practically tasteless... you can "sort of tell" it is ginseng... but you literally need to swoosh it in your mouth to be able to taste it.

I was looking forward to a heavy ginseng taste, but it was not....

verdict:

I like anything with ginseng in it, it is one of my favourite roots (?)... I like the health benefits and I like the taste... I wished this tea tasted more "Ginseng" though... I like how easy and convenient it was for the crystals to dissolve (even in cold water)... and I like how you can control the sweetness of your tea (most other brands take the initiative to add way too much sugar...)... I found these listed on eBay and the price is quite good.. you can check the listing here.

score: 7.5/10

Kracie - Naive - Green Tea Cleanser review

For this post, I will be only doing a review for the Naive Kracie Green Tea facial cleanser as that's the only product I have tried here.

This is a strong facial cleanser, you can feel it immediately after you rinse, your face and fingers you used to clean with have a squeaky clean touch to it.

Although the instructions suggest using 1cm of the product, I just use merely 3-5 mm since it is already a lot of product. The instructions say taking that bit of product you foam it up with either a foam ball or the palm of your hands.

thoughts:

• a little goes a long way (even if you apply a small amount and foam it, it still works)
• strong cleanser
• light fragrance (lighter means there should be less chemicals inside?)
• great for "tough" stubborn oil
• remember to moisturize immediately after you use this!!
• not suitable for winter months

Since it is so strong, I suggest using warm water (instead of hot water) to clean the product from your face and immediately apply either 1. serum or 2. moisturizer or 3. emulation to your face because your face will dry up and your skin will feel as if it stiffened (not a nice feeling).

I highly recommend this facial cleanser because it does what it promises and it literally does a good job removing oil and dirt from your face. However, if you have sensitive skin, I would suggest a milder cleanser like Biore's (product review will follow shortly).
