Yogi Tea

This is actually one of my favorite teas from Yogi, I drank it every day for a long time when I was cutting back on caffeine. It really doesn’t taste anything like kombucha, which is a plus in my book because I don’t care for it. It does have a slightly fruity flavor which I like. Another thing to note, I wouldn’t drink it for the benefits associated with kombucha because you only get that from a live bacteria/yeast which this is not.

I’m on the fence about this one, but mostly because it is rooibos and I’m not a huge fan. I like that its a more mild rooibos flavor and most of what you taste is spicy with a subtle hint of peach, a little to subtle if you ask me. I’d love to have more peach taste out of this one.

I’ve come across two teas from Yogi that I just don’t care for and this is one of them. The taste I get from it is overwhelmingly sage and not so much lavender. Since I’ve got most of a box left I tend to drink this one when I’m sick and can’t taste a thing. No sense in wasting good tea when I can’t taste it anyway.

This was pretty disappointing for me because I love Yogi tea and I was expecting this to be as yummy as the rest. I tried it plain first and then dressed it up with some milk and sugar which didn’t really help the taste much. I just couldn’t get into this one.

Very tasty for a tea-bag! I like to add milk and sugar and drink this before bed (or just when it’s cold out). I’d recommend it to anyone who wants some chai without much fuss!

I got a sample of this from the Yogi website, and definitely needed something soothing after a stressful day at work. It smells great. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, hint of vanilla. I love cinnamon. This doesn’t actually taste very cinnamon-y, though. The flavor is overwhelmingly chamomile, with smooth vanilla on the back end. A hint of pepper as I’m reaching the bottom of the cup.

I like this as a bedtime tea. It really is soothing. It’s somewhat disturbing that it has so many ingredients, though – chamomile, rooibos, roasted chicory root, skullcap leaf, nutmeg kernel, caramel flavor, vanilla flavor, some kind of bark, stevia leaf, poppy extract, ginger root, L. Theanine Suntheanine, clove bud, black pepper, cinnamon bark, cardamom seed oil, ginger root oil… it seems a bit much.

I’m at the bottom now and still don’t know whether I would actually buy this. It’s tasty and soothing, but nothing outstanding, and the long ingredients list is off-putting.

Steeped in boiling water for 10 minutes, per package instructions.

Blargh

Nice blend, too bad I don’t remember to drink it consistently enough to speak of it’s benefits.

I grabbed this tea after running out of my usual. It was right there, and I’m not afraid of trying new things, so, Yogis it was.

It was disappointing. I usually use two teabags while steeping and it gives awesome flavor and substance.

Not with this tea.

There was hardly any flavor and I was left dissatisfied and wanting more tea.

I don’t know what “Organic Caramel Flavor” is and that makes me a bit leery of this tea but just drinking it blind, on flavor characteristics alone, I’ve gotta say this is very enjoyable. Caramel apple but not that sweet. There’s a nice, fresh fruity-apple taste. It has ginger, clove and cardomom among the ingredients but they are played down entirely – this is not at all a spicy brew, but soft and fruity… those ingredients are likely what prevents the overall flavor from being too sweet. It’s a savory sweetness. Did I say yum? Smooth. This would also be excellent iced, no need for adding sugar.

It’s got a slight artificial taste, but it’s still pretty good. Not sure why it’s energizing- it only has about a 1/4th of the caffeine of a normal cup of coffee. It does satisfy cravings in the afternoon, which is nice. Just a touch of sugar, and some milk and it hit the spot for me.
