Yogi Tea

Another tea from MissB adventures in europe. I had this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Much like cacao shells only a little more like hot cocoa. A fan of these, especially since they’re teabag form! thanks missB!

This is a very creamy (little spice) vanilla tea. Perfect pick me up for the mid-day slump!

another from missb and not for me sadly. this one is overwhelmingly sickeningly sweet from the anise/licorice. I couldn’t really get through much of it because i kept wanting water to wash it down heh oh well, win some, lose some…have fun doing it all! :)

This is the best tea ever. Very smooth with a bit of kick. It is all that I drink. It has the ability to give me energy and calm my mind. I wondered how this was possible and I read the ingredients. That’s exactly what it does. Give energy and calm the mind. It contains ingredients that can be pricey in some concoctions. Such as Sun Potions Ashwagandha powder. I don’t know what I’d do if it was ever discontinued. Very very addicting.

Not disappointed. I was introduced to kava root through a kava bar where I live, where it is served as a very strong, semi-thick drink. In this pure concentrated form, kava does not taste very good, but it pleasantly anesthetizes your face and mouth, gives you a slight high, and is very relaxing. This tea definitely retains that kava flavor, but the added spices make it considerably less bitter and actually pretty tasty. It made me sleepy, as I wanted it to, and gave me just a very slight tingle in my mouth.

Another of my favourite teas! Seems really to drink chocolate with a little bit o spices !

Awesome caffeine free tea to close off the day. Huge fan.

Sooo good with some organic honey and almond coconut milk. Drank this before my exams, definitely helped! I even drank this tea several times just for the flavor, the lavender is super yummy in this. Favorite Yogi tea so far!

I can definitely smell the cardamom as I pull the tea out of the bag. It has a long steep time (10-15 minutes) which works for me because I forget about my tea all steeping all the time. Until now I have never had any sort of dandelion root tea, so I am eager to try it……now that I have tried it I am not sure I would get it again. It’s a strange taste to me and the flavours that normally stand out to me (cardamom and cinnamon) did not shine through to me.

Sipdown (150)!

I walked home after work today instead of busing because it was beautiful outside and I thought it’d be a good time to see just how long the walk home takes me because, during the summer, it might be a lot more financially smart to walk instead of bus – and the route I take to work doesn’t run between May and August. Took me 40 minutes overall; not too bad. That’s actually less time than it takes to bus home. My feet are killing me though…

I drank this one from a timolino during the walk though; it’s another one that I’m trying blindly. I expected to get a lot of spice/heat from it but the flavour was much, much milder than I anticipated. In fact, I barely got any spice or heat at all! The closet thing would be some super watery cinnamon or black pepper? What I did taste a lot of was licorice though! That seems like a weird pairing to me; but it’s absolutely what I got. Some kind of licorice root and actual licorice cross, perhaps? I liked it, but also found it a bit boring as well.

Certainly wouldn’t buy this one for myself, nor would I go out of my way to try it again but, if served to me, I would be totally ok drinking it. And, you have to keep in mind that it’d bagged too; it could’ve been much worse.

Side Note: I’m sure it wasn’t the intention, but the woman on the bag art/design reminds me a lot of Frida Kahlo, and that made me smile this morning as well as prompted me to switch up my Magnetic Fridge Frida Kahlo’s wardrobe. She’s now rocking a Hijab, Anarchy Shirt, and Skull leggings and has a Capuchin perched on her shoulder. Fridge Frida is one of my favourite things about my kitchen…

But anyway, thanks MissB for the sample!

My go-to tea when I’m out and about. I use two bags at once to get a stronger flavor.

Earthy and spicy. Not sure it aided in suppressing my appetite

Spicy and tingly twist on mint tea. Has a calming effect on my stomach

Zingy remix on typical mint/black tea

I’m with VariaTea on this one.
Yep, horribly sweet in a licorice way and not spicy at all. Actually, I had to double check it was herbal because the taste reminded me a bit of mate.
Definitely nothing spicy or chili here. Do not like.
I did manage to finish my cup so I bet it’d go over better if I was down with a head cold

Definitely tastes medicinal. Not bad enough to waste the teabags, not good enough to really want to drink. Will not be buying again.

This one doesn’t do much for me. No matter how long I steep this tea the rooibos overpowers the spices. It’s pretty bland.

I picked this up on a whim and it has become one of my favorite yogi teas. Tastes exactly like the name. Super good at night when I want to wind down with a warm cup.

*missB sent this one on and i have to say, for a herbal chai it’s not too shabby. I’m a fan of the ingredients and i like the heat that this one has while still being flavourful. there’s a bit of a sweetness here which i suspect comes from the licorice since i seem to be especially sensitive to that sort of sweetness. On the whole though, this was a pretty great cup of herbal chai! thanks missb!

One of my favorite “tea bag” teas. This tea smells great and tastes of lemon and ginger without tasting artificial. I find it hard to realize that this is a green tea, since it doesn’t have the same delicate nature or taste as traditional green tea. It’s an okay value – considering I drink mostly loose-leaf, it’s hard to justify the price of the boxed brands.
