How much caffeine is in Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction?

Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction?

Target 100°C (212°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction be extracted?

Extract for 10-15 minutes simmering on stovetop using Stovetop Simmer (Decoction), at a ratio of 20g sliced fresh root per 300ml water, prepared at Sliced or Crushed Fresh Root. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Fresh Ginger Root Warming Decoction?

Very spicy brew can cause mild heartburn if consumed in heavy excess on an empty stomach. Ginger has mild anti-platelet activity; avoid high doses before scheduled surgery. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
