Yogi Tea

This tea is pretty good. The taste is not the best but it’s not terrible either. I usually mix it with another type of tea just to give it a better flavor. It does work pretty much as intended. I get better relief just by sitting over the steeping tea bag and breathing in the vapors. Good stuff.

This has quite a gingery kick to which some might find overpowering. Can’t taste the lemon at all.

I often drink this one before bed. Definitely does what it says on the label and is a lovely color in the cup.

I seriously have been having a problem with Yogi Teas lately. I don’t remember them being so BLAH or BLEH or ICKY.

I just can’t drink this one either. I must of at one point because I only have 4 bags left…but MAN OH MAN!

It’s peppery and spicy and Medicine-like and plastic-tasting…ewe…

It’s very cloudy/murky…gross…another one down the drain…

I’m having a little of this to try to get rid of a lingering cough. I know ginger is usually for stummys (and I have had a little of that too), but I thought the spice might help with my congestion.

This is sweeter than I remember, did they change the formula? Picking up much more licorice root than before, which might also be good for my throat.

Overall, I still enjoy it!

I actually had this yesterday while at work, but then went out drinking with work people, and well, then all hell broke loose. So now that I’m awake, I’m logging.
I love this one, helps my stomach and just tastes good. Such a bite to it, puts some fire in your belly, and warms the rest of you too.

This is a great stand-by for when you are so sick you can’t be bothered with using fresh ginger, or heading down to the West African or West Indian market for some already prepared fresh juice. It goes well with honey, and will make you feel better.

I like this little chocolatey tea. It’s very nice with milk, especially if you heat or froth that too, and best to just let it steep. There has to be a fraction of the calories in a cup of hot chocolate, but gives you a very close feeling of being as indulgent.

high quality licorice flavor that is naturally sweet and satisfying, especially after a meal. one of the best licorice teas i’ve tasted.

This aromatic blend of herbs and spices really hits the spot, and it seems to be calming my nerves already.

Only contains raspberry leaves but tastes like a black tea. It’s pleasant but not particularly flavorful.

Trying a sample shared by a co-worker. Normally, I am suspicious of anything with licorice root—-so sweet it makes my tongue feel fuzzy. However, this has a couple kinds of mint and some lemongrass in it to counteract the sticky taste. Three sips have not yet turned me into a mental giant; however, should that happen, you will be the first folks I notify.

ahhhh one of those days where I stayed up way too late the nite before. Woke up way too early this am and was busy ALL DAY LONG. After a hot shower and a tiny nap…this tea is a perfect way to ease the ache in my head and relax me for the rest of the day. With just a half a tsp of honey its the perfect flavor. And it does indeed have a hint of apple to it :)

This is probably my favourite tea ever, despite its overpriced teabagginess (and slightly unfortunate name). I wish they’d sell it loose… I love the sweet spiciness. Yum. I found it works great as a before-bed tea, despite the name. It probably makes me energetic when I believe in it though.

A friend got this for me when I was under the weather. I think it is great! Helps out with breathing, but also tastes lovely too. Everything in it works together to make a very comforting cup.

Now I get this out anytime I’m having breathing issues or when I just need something comforting to drink. Very nice tea.

A bit funky taste, neither lime nor lemon comes forward and the end result is flat and unfresh.

Very harmonic blend. Not too much of the lime, mint or anything – but that also makes it slightly boring. For those days when you want a low-key tea.

I seem to be in the minority, but I love this tea. It is strongly flavored, and just breathing in the steeping licorice and eucalyptus seems to help. I have asthma and I tried this tea ona day in which I was having more trouble breathing than usual and was coughing a lot. This tea really did seems to help some, especially with calming the cough. It’s not a cure, but a bit of extra relief is always welcome. It is a pretty strong tea with unusual flavor and heavy licorice taste and smell, so it’s definely not for everyone, but I loved both the taste and the effects and will certainly be buying more.

Got this in the mail from TeaEqualsBliss (thank you!). It’s not bad but it’s not my favorite chai. Like others have said, it’s sweet on its own which I’m not a big fan of. (Most Yogi Teas I’ve tried so far have this sweetness, actually.) I’m guessing the Stevia Leaf is the culprit in this one! Other than the sweetness, I really like this one because it doesn’t contain pepper, which most chai teas do. It also doesn’t have any caffeine, which is nice right before bed.

This tea is all kinds of weird. The ingredients are basically everything that’s good for a sore throat, but the end result tastes a lot like the way Vick’s Vapo-Rub smells. I guess that’s the eucalyptus in it? It has a strangely sweet aftertaste as well, which is probably from the ground licorice. If they ditched the cinnamon, this would taste exactly like absinthe. I added a teaspoon of honey. That improved it a bit, but I still didn’t finish my cup.

My roommate is awful… just awful. And she doesn’t even know I think this about her. Why? Because of Kava Stress Relief. A nice welcoming blend of herbs and spices that I drink on frequent occasion. Now in an argument between bagged tea and loose leaf, loose leaf wins from a culinary perspective. But bagged teas are homey, and easy. They don’t often require special temperatures, and the best ones (in my opinion) don’t even require specific steep times. You just pull the bag out when you feel good and ready! Now I could wax poetic about the “levels of intriguing flavor” and the “timeline of flavor that is first bold, and then shy”. But really what it comes down to is that Kava Stress Relief is a great drink, and has a place in my tea cupboard next to any Pu-Erh that I can afford.
