Great green tea for when you are getting bored with the basic green tea taste. The passion fruit flavor comes through the most for me. Highly recommended.

Green tea is not my favorite, but something about this one was actually nice.

Brewed double strength, but still does not have strong flavor. Would steep longer next time (box says 5-10 minutes). Lightly sweet mint flavor; I noticed no artificial aftertaste as some say. Contains ingredients designed to promote cognitive function—here’s hoping!

This tea is wonderful at night, because it is a very soothing drink before bed. The flavor is delicious and relaxing. Even the aftertaste is delicious!

Really good with honey, but decent on its own. Honey as a sweetener really brings out the other flavors.

I like this one, but again with a little bit of bias because of the blackberry leaf and the lotus flavor. It’s really fruity, and very refreshing after a workout. As for the recovery angle of this tea, it’s specifically talking about recovering IMMEDIATELY after training, and after breathing your lungs out and beating the crap out of your body. It only helps to build muscle by lowering inflammation and giving you a wake up jolt after wards. My muscles weren’t so sore after I drank it, but it’s no magic medicine or supplement like creatine (which you can argue whether or not such supplements are good for you).

Wow, this is MINTY! Mint is really all I smell when I open the bag, and I’m honestly glad. I saw licorice on the package and was worried because it seems like all of the Yogi teas I’ve tried have either licorice or sarsaparilla. I’m really not a fan of either of those. The taste of this tea has the cooling effect of mint but not really the flavor. It’s more of an herbaceous flavor and definitely artificial tasting like it has an artificial sweetener in it or something. It is also a little bitter, but I did steep it a little longer than recommended. Honestly, it’s like chewing on a backyard weed. Whether or not it helps with memory, I don’t know, but I know I won’t be drinking more of it to find out.

I was surprised how much I liked this one. I think I drank this one consistently last week. Usually I hop around between two if not three teas some days. This one I couldn’t get enough of.The more I drank it, the more I enjoyed it. The sweetness of the plum flavoring made this an addictive tea.

Here is the rest of my ramblings and this sweet tea!

Happy Friday all! We have an upcoming Snow Apocalypse upon us. I’m kind of excited about being snowed in with just me, the boyfriend, Netflix, and of course my tea! Excited to have a sip-down kind of weekend and see what all I’ve currently got. So while I sit here at work dreaming of the fun that is to be had, I decided to grab this beauty to get my day off and going.

This is a delish treat that I adore. This green tea is sweet without needing anything extra to it. It has that almost melon flavor to it and the green tea just mingles so well that you can hardly tell it is a green tea. Plus, this one is great for your digestion and all the other health benefits that Kombucha provides. Recommend this one for an easy cup anytime!

I dunno how I got this tea. Figure I give it a shot as I have a bag of it and I’ve gone 2 days with like 4 hours of sleep. Taste? BLEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Tastes watery with a pinch of random herbalness, ramping up to a licorice and over stevia sweet nightmare. So much stevia! The weird sweetness stays for a few minutes, leaving a funky herbal flavor after that.

OMG why so much stevia? The aftertaste of this tea reminds me of that bland, unsatisfying minty, kinda sweet, gritty toothpaste the dentist uses to polish your teeth – including metallic dental tool flavor – but hella sweeter!

Important Note:
This is not an actual tasting note, as I haven’t been able to brew a cup and don’t intend to.

I was given a box of this tea, or it wouldn’t be in my house. I don’t know why Yogi seems to think licorice goes with everything, but just the scent of the stuff makes me gag. Perhaps I’m super-sensitive, but I’m getting a nauseating licorice whiff from the sealed box. I note that licorice is the second item on the “Proprietary Blend of Herbs,” right under peppermint. Frankly, there is not enough peppermint on the planet to negate the nasty yuck factor of licorice.

Bottom Line:

If you hate licorice, avoid this tea like the plague. If you love licorice, you’ll probably be delighted. Me, I’m planning to foist this box off on the first of my friends that expresses an interest.

This is one of the first teas that I haven’t had to add any sweetner to. Very apple cider meets a light black tea. I had four cups of this within the first 24 hours of trying it. I was a teeny tiny bit obsessed.

It’s hard not to get caught up in the latest health-conscious fad when you live in Vancouver, and this time, kombucha beckoned.

Like many others, I found the taste of unflavoured kombucha to be disagreeable (read: cat piss). To my relief, the Yogi tea bags far surpassed my expectations, as they tasted mild and sweet with a hint of tangy, minty kombucha goodness.

Bonus: The steeping process was painless and hassle-free, as it is nearly impossible to oversteep this.

They’ve now become one of my staple bagged teas, and I’m now on my second box.

Good and soothing. Strong taste of chamomile, valerian, mint, and lavender. Maybe some cinnamon or light ginger? Light, floral kind of taste with a satisfying bite.

—3 sugar cubes

Steeping it for this long makes it taste a bit worse than it would at 5 minutes, but at least the Valerian Root packs more of a punch this way.

This tea was pretty good. I think slightly better than some other bedtime teas I have had. I liked it lukewarm with lemon infused honey.

This is my first tea review here. I had hoped to develop my tea palette a bit more before chiming in, as I’m still new and experimenting. But I thought I’d write this as a warning.

This tea has a late taste of what I can only describe as moldy hay. It’s fine on initial contact, but has an extremely powerful “something” that I found to be pretty darn objectionable.

I only tried this tea as a relaxation aid, as I’m having a bit of difficulty passing a tactile test and seem pretty nervous on my previous attempts. I’m just one opinion, but I certainly would not want to go to bed with this taste in my mouth.

The only redeeming quality was that it “worked,” in that it gave a pretty deep REM sleep.

This tea is palatable but has a weird ughkie aftertaste. It does make you sleepy but for the taste i won’t buy it again.

I really, really like this! I had it with lunch yesterday and enjoyed it so much, I had it again today. I never do that, you guys. Never. That’s how much I like this. It’s minty and fruity and sweet without sugar and just plain delightful!

After I sip this tea, the sweet stevia kind of coats the back of my mouth and throat. It smells herby but the flavor is a pretty herby-medicinal, only slightly softened by the sweet stevia flavor. I’m not sure if this is just me but my tummy was a little unhappy after sipping it.
