[Full Review] Hotta 100% Ginger instant drink review: When the rainy season hit, This Drink is basically a blanket, Hot and spicy one.
Rain is in the corner, and I have a spicy feeling in my glass.
Hi EvolGarlic Here, here's another blog post to read from your truly EvolGarlic from the EvolGarlic's Gumbo Goodies Blogletter! :
Oh? What's in the sky? A sun? Yes! A cloud that indicated that the rain would be pouring in soon? Yes!
Now, Thailand is officially in the rainy season! You know what that means? Well, in my town, it was a season where it is hot sometimes, and the sky will clear, until the clouds form and indicate that the rain will soon come, it rains, it pours a drop that you can count with the amount of your finger.
Yeah, rain season is kinda like this, someday it rains, and then the sun comes out like the rain was nothing, someday it's windy and then it rains hard, sometimes it happens at night, a full band of rain, lightning, and the sound of thunder, unpredictable.
And what came with it? Cold that came with it (well i don't know if it came with it or not) and I was unfortunate enough to get one, and that cols the dankest one I ever had, my nose got blocked from working, my tongue also got blocked from tasting and tell my brain what the spicy snack taste like, I sneezed and cough for days, so much that i have to take a rest from the works and trying to heal, and get it all back together.
During the time I was healing from the cold, I was buying one essential thing, the drink for those kind of days when the blues from cold hit you, a drink that iIcan ccalla "Dragon with a diet of something spicy but not bburning
That drink was......a ginger instant drink review, especially, a ginger instant drink review branded "Hotta" a brand that i know Ind somewhat love but forget it was there, because i was stastartedinking it since i Ias 17, at that time the winter cold hit me hard, and Hotta was the thing i brought to mix and drink, i literally mix and pour it in my big bottle to drink it..... at the final exam of that year (i don't remember which year, but i remember that i was sick and the exam is the next day, so i Iave to be there)
I try their Original Ginger with Honey, which is sweet and nice, a mix of sweetness and spicy flavor, and even the 100% one, which i was reviewing for today, and this time, i waI twenty five years old, has developed a strange taste, a taste for something without sugar, because i thought "Well, if i lIve oolong tea without any sugar, this is another drink where i can drink it as it is"
Hi, EvolGarlic here from the department of "EvolGarlic Products Review" the original department of icle about a product review that "Fun and Informative" in the same mix, and in today's first full review since a long time, here's the review of a drink that was spicy but not going to make you spit out a fire, but a spicy goodness that calm you down, introducing : Hotta 100% Ginger instant drink.
Before i go on the detail about it, here's the factors that used to review this product :
Packaging, Taste, Unique Point and Price, Each one has 25 points, for a total of 100 points.
[Packaging]
It is not came in a box, but rather in a pack, and the interesting thing about it is that, the one i buy was a 5 packet version, more saving.
Simple design, indicate that this is a pure ginger drink, beauty and simple design.
25 points full!
[Taste]
Now comes the part where i think it is the highlight here, the taste of it.
Hotta is known for their unique picking techniques of their ginger, quality ginger aged 11-12 months, No preservatives, no added colors or flavors.
And since it is a 100% pure ginger, spicy level is a 5, great for those who want a pure firey experience in a cup, or in my case, need something to kick my head around.
To describe the taste of it, it is a pure essence of ginger, spicy yet not burning like a chillies, nothing sweet (unless you added a sugar) a pure ginger spicy that was somehow balanced, not too much that you'll breathing fire and smoke coming out of your nose, probably middle level intense.
If you can't stand this hotness in the cup, sugar or honey is a option, but for me, it's a kick that i sip and drink and feel like i'm grown up by finishing it.
21 points out of 25 (cut 4 out because it is depending on your personal preference)
[Unique Point]
Here's a tricky part, i haven't try any brands or even a vendor ginger drink and compare it to this thing yet, so i don't know how this thing is unique or what.
But Hotta certainly has a unique point: It's 100% ginger, nothing more, nothing less, it's a ginger in a packet, and many brands (well two or three brands) will have a trait or taste that will let you know that this is their brand.
But for Hotta? It's a balancing spicy, and I preferred it.
Although I will open up to try more brands and compare them to Hotta and see if other brand can be more spicy for my tongue.
20 Points Out of 25 Point (Cut 5 points out for the taste, which the other brands might have something interesting)
[Price]
For this 5 Packets of Hotta 100% Instant ginger drink is 53 Baht, meanwhile the 10 packets are 95 Baht, Almost a 100 baht.
It is depending on your budget and how much you love it, for me, it's going to be 5 packets for me, because I have oolong teas packet at home that I also love too, but if you are the fnaclub of this spicy drink, i recommend that the 95 baht or buying a big pack is a nice way to enjoy it.
But what if you don't like this pure 100% ginger drink? Well, Hotta has many others flavours that might suit your taste.
Love something spicy and sweet in a same cup? Hotta Ginger Manuka Honey will do for ya?
Or you love the zinc? Hotta got the Hotta Ginger Sugar Free With Vitamin C and Zinc
This two and many more flavour are available, go find em and pick the ones you like.
25 points Full!
[Sum up!]
With all the point combined, EvolGarlic has a very nice final points total of : 91 points.
It is one of the drinks, hot drinks that i can recommend and love for, if you love it, this one will be a choice that you will enjoyed.
[Where to find'em?]
Hotta 100% Ginger instant drink (both 5 packets and 10 packets) is available at most convenience stores like 7-11, BigC, Familymart and such, or any big stores.
