Why is it so hard to find?

WANTED: a good ginger tea, free of licorice or anise or fennel, or anything that is remotely licorice tasting.

Any advice from my tea loving friends? I found one tea at Whole Foods without, but it had stevia, and I think that tastes kinda bitter.

I am seriously thinking of buying some ginger, boiling it in some water with lemon slices or wedges, and adding honey. If I made a lot of it, I could cool it, and make a tonic of sorts and bring it woth me to work or wherever. I know I got digestive thingies to take with me around, but I think having ginger tea here and there would be good for my tummy (and my sinuses). I'd need a recipe of sorts though.

I should also get other teas, just for the pleasure of drinking. I so still have honeydew melon white tea. I want more though. I think I will need to find a nice tea shop. I know we have a few around town.

EDIT: It looks like there are a few Republic of Tea blends that might be good, though I don't know if I will be able to find the ones I am interested in at the stores here. Might have to order online.

I was told to drink ginger tea with honey to help my digestion. Though I suppose a ginger mint tea would be good.
