Yogi Tea

I bought this tea without looking at the ingredients, yikes! I don’t really want to try this one. However, my aunt enjoys it immensely. She says it’s delicious with a touch of sugar.

Admittedly, this is not my favorite of the teas from Yogi. It has a bitter under taste for me, & otherwise it’s kind of watery. I much prefer the Egyptian Licorice. Sipdown!

I’m really enjoying this tea. It’s sweet, slightly spicy, a little weak, but a great flavor nonetheless.

Final Sipdown of the day, while watching the Cardinals kick butt.
Who knows how old this teabag is, LOL, but it’s gone now. I enjoy a few of Yogi teas, with my favorite being the Egyptian Licorice. This one is ok. The main thing I like about it is the taste of Ginger. Otherwise, it’s a pretty mild tasting cup, with a nice warming sensation. Probably not something I’ll restock. This ends my day with 247 teas, Sil!
Did I catch up?

I only managed a few sips of this before I accidentally knocked it over, but I didn’t feel it was any great loss. I didn’t particularly care for the flavor of this tea. It doesn’t really taste like caramel, but it is slightly sweet, most likely from the stevia. Most of what I tasted was cinnamon.

YOW! This tea is SPICY. I also found that it’s a little tempramental in terms of steep time. Just a few seconds too long, and it’s almost impossible to drink. Normally, I love and trust Yogi teas, but man, this one has a bite to it. It’s not just the ginger- I know full well that ginger is spicy- I think it’s the black pepper that’s too much for me.

I drink it only for medicinal purposes, because it certainly does help settle my stomach some nights, but it can be a little tough to take. I do enjoy the warm feeling it leaves in my throat and stomach, but I usually end up waiting until it’s cool enough, and then gulping it down quickly to avoid tasting it too much. Definitely not my favorite ginger blend ever, but it hasn’t turned me off to Yogi or to other ginger teas, either.

I’m not really a fan of this one, mainly because I don’t think it tastes like blueberry. It has a combination of sweet and tart flavors that you would expect from blueberry, but it tastes like a combination of citrus and hibiscus. I had a look at the ingredients and it contains natural orange flavor and hibiscus which gives it the tart flavor as well as Stevia for the sweet flavors.

One of the reasons why I used to drink so much of this particular tea is because it is nearly impossible to oversteep. I just left this particular cup to steep for about 15 minutes and it is barely bitter, which makes this the perfect tea for busy days when I’m distracted.

This tea is full of mint and light on the green tea, which is fine for me. I find the combination perfect for a stressful, busy day. The peppermint is calming and the green tea gives me the caffeine I need to get going.

I’ll probably purchase another box of this one of these days. I like to have teabags like this for when I’m on the road.

I’ve been reading a lot about the health benefits of pau d’arco and want to try drinking more of it this winter in the hopes it will perk up my immune system. Unfortunately the taste of it is enough to make me gag, so I keep trying to find things to mix it with. Tonight I tried this spicy licorice tea with a bit of coconut oil. This is definitely a spicy concoction but I think I prefer the pau d’arco with plain licorice root which more effectively masks its flavor. If anyone has a good pau d’arco tea blend please let me know what it is. :)

I’m not a HUGE fan of licorice in tea but I’ve been reading so much about the anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties of it, I figured it would be a good idea to keep some around for cold season and such. A lot of people seem to hate the flavor of licorice but I’ve always liked it in candy, also I like anything anise or fennel related so I don’t have too many licorice “issues.”

This tea is very sweet… that was one of the first things I noticed about it. No need for sugar at all! I am not picking up on the orange peel but I get some other spicy notes from the cardamom, clove and black pepper. It’s a nice tisane and I can see myself drinking a lot of it when winter officially starts around here.

I remember there used to be a plain Yogi tea that was like a chai herbal blend but I can’t seem to find it anymore, I think they stopped making it which is too bad. I liked it! The Yoga Blend from Jasmine Pearl Tea Merchants is a good substitute.

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this since most apple teas don’t appeal to me. I find that they taste like the caramel sour apple suckers I loved when I was a kid.

I definitely was able to taste all of the flavors in the name. The caramel was slightly sweet and appealed to my sweet tooth. The apple was slightly tart and a little artificial tasting, but certainly not the worst apple flavoring I’ve tried. The balance of spices was perfect to offset the sweet and tart flavors of the caramel and apple. I was really glad they didn’t overpower the tea, they were merely present and very enjoyable.

This is one of those teas that I would definitely drink again if it were offered to me, but it isn’t something I would pick up on my own.

I like lavender and I like honey, so in theory I should have liked this tea, but I didn’t. I didn’t taste any of the flavors the name mentioned, what I did taste was sage. I hate sage in my tea. It was followed up by the barest hint of peppermint and those were the only two flavors I got from the tea.

This is definitely not my cup of tea, so I’m glad that I only had two bags of it.

I really like this green tea! It’s just green. But not so strong that it’s yucky green. Sweet green. I normally choose green with another flavour added, but this I can handle as a plain green tea.

This is a delicious bedtime tea for when there’s not enough time for a loose leaf. The lavender is fairly subtle, mostly coming out in the aroma. I predominantly tasted a nice minty menthol flavor along with noticeable sweetness. The full body and lack of astringency make this a tasty and comforting tea.

Mmmm…

This is exactly as advertised and well blended. The honey and lavender mesh together nicely. The mint comes out as a nice tangy aftertaste. Very relaxing and very pleasant. Also a lot fewer ingredients than most Yogi teas. This is a nice change of pace from my usual bedtime teas.

I was looking for an alternative grocery store tea that I could pick up because the kava wouldn’t go well with my migraine pills I’ve been taking. This one is still not quite what I was looking for (wanted St. John’s Wort) but it’ll work. I picked this over one of their other “calming” teas because I really love cardamom and fennel. I don’t know if I’m really going to taste it once the tea is brewed, but they’re in there!
The bag smells very medicinal to me. Or like some kind of odd forest floor type smell. Brewed I can tell they must have added a sweetener or something as that is the first thing I can smell. Brewed it smells almost just like my friend’s home from childhood. They were Chinese and always had something interesting brewing. This was one of those don’t ask, just drink/eat situations; but it was always something wonderful in the end.
The flavor is..interesting? It tastes like an oriental market to me. I don’t really know how to explain that? Sweet, but also like herbal medicine. Maybe almost minty? This tastes like a grab bag to me. I just hope sipping might calm down the anxiety a bit. We’ll just have to wait and see!
edit I have to comment to say that it might just be the being home and not doing my homework, but I do feel significantly better. No more headache, but my ears are still hurting. So at least the anxiety has gone down a bit. I’ll try it again next time I feel blah and see if I get similar results.

Huh. This is tastier than I was expecting. Despite the ridiculous number of ingredients, this really just tastes like blueberry and green tea. There’s a tad of hibiscus contributing nicely to the blueberry flavor without being overwhelming. I can’t taste the stevia, thankfully – I really don’t like stevia anything in my tea.

Overall, this is pretty tasty. As is often the case with Yogi teas, the list of ingredients is fairly lengthy and makes me nervous. This isn’t a tea that I would go out of my way to stock. However, I wouldn’t turn it down if offered.

Thanks to moraiwe for the sample! Another sipdown.

I bought this on sale and decided to try it. Very different! It also seems to calm my appetite.

A few months ago,I drank this tea for the first time.I was not into licorice so much ,yet they appeared quite strong and sweet and a little medicine-like,so I could’t manage the whole cup at last. Then I came across Stash ,an amazing tea company that really takes great advantage of licorice,since their usage of a little amount of licorice to add flavor&sweetness to fruit blends is impressive and subtle,meanwhile creating a satisfying sweet aftertaste.
Since I love licorice better now, I gave this another try .Hmm,sweet with the same kind of aftertaste I enjoy,this one could be definitely regarded as a yummy choice :3
