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.

They have awesome teas. I especially like their Burgundy Cherry and Berry Jamboree.

I LOATHE fennel or licorice or anise tasting teas too and my mother has always tried to shove fennel tea down my throat whenever I've been ill. I'd RATHER STAY ILL that drink it!

Yeah, I know fennel and anise are good for digestion, but I hate the taste, so I will not drink it.
