Yogi Tea

This tea had a more unexpected flavor than what I was anticipating. The licorice comes through rather strong for a very bold flavor of tea. I was expecting to taste more of the lavender but I could mostly only taste the spices. All in all it’s not my favorite tea from the Yogi line but it’s not bad.

It really does work to calm me down when I have mild anxiety

I keep trying to trick myself into liking this Tea and it’s not working. It tastes like cinnamon toilet water sweetened with stevia. Weird description but… that’s what it tastes like. Not that I have ever had toilet water.

It’s an OK tea. It has a fruity flavor that’s not necessarily blueberry but it is pretty fruity. Not much green tea flavor. And the stevia flavor is pretty strong. Can make you have to go to the bathroom.

Compared to past experiences with Yogi, I was actually quite unimpressed with this one. I tried to cold brew it in a pitcher for about 10-12 hours. Normally when I brew tea this way even the most pungent and bitter leaves have a somewhat smooth flavor. This one for some reason had a distasteful after taste of licorice and way more spice than necessary. I didn’t even taste the apple. It was just spicy licorice. Definitely won’t be buying this tea again, though I might try and re-brew this as a hot tea later on and see if the flavor profile changes. As for now, not a fan.

This is my go to remedy for whenever I’m sick or when my throat is bothering me. I just got back from Dragon Con and between all the sing-a-longs and parties my throat is shot, but this tea has soothed my throat so well and really eases the discomfort. I also really enjoy the taste. It is a very strong, spicy tea but I like that about this tea. It gives it a unique flavor that reminds me of home-cooked meals at my friends house who’s family moved to Georgia from India.

This isn’t a terrible tea. However the blueberry overpowers the green tea flavor and slightly throws it off balance. It’s hard to find a good steep time as steeping green tea too long makes it bitter, but if you don’t steep this tea long enough you can’t taste the green tea part of it. I plan to drink all of it in my spare time, but I don’t plan to re-buy or restock this tea.

Full bodied flavor. Personally I enjoyed making it as a cold brew. Leaving it to steep in a pitcher of cold water for 10-14 hours makes the vanilla taste even sweeter. It very much reminds me of what cinnamon sugar popcorn tastes like. It’s super refreshing iced.
I personally add a small squirt of liquid stevia sweetener for a 2 Liter pitcher. I put about 3 tea bags in as well for the 2 Liter sized pitcher.

Depending on how one prepares this tea it can be sweet or a bit bitter depends on how you like it. But it’s great for relaxing and before bed.

This is one of my go-to teas when I am feeling a bit nauseous or bloated (especially after dinner time) or when I am just wanting a flavorful spiced tea. I love the strong, warming sensation that lingers a bit in the back of your throat after each sip, and the pepper is a nice balance to the intense ginger flavor. I find it fantastic with a bit of honey.

I find stevia really gross-tasting, and while it wasn’t very noticeable for most of the cup of tea, once I got to the bottom it was overpowering. I could’ve stirred a bit better, but that would just have distributed the stevia flavor throughout, so I’m not sure that would have been better. Pretty disappointing; I’ll stick to chamomile.

not good

Well, it smells very tangerine-y and I hope it will taste as good. I didn’t notice the Stevia in the ingredient label or I probably wouldn’t have tried this but I’ve steeped it already so here goes.

Well, it is very sweet, but somehow still tasty! The tangerine is very present with a background of herbal things. I added some real sugar as is my wont and I think it overpowered the stevia taste I hate. This is a very interesting tea although I probably won’t have it again. Free tea bags FTW!

Delicious night time tea, one of my favorites!

Good blackberry aroma, light blackberry flavor.

This tastes amazing! One of my favourites right now.

This tea is a bit jarring at first and initially I didn’t like it. It has a strong black licorice flavoring with cinnamon spices when sipped but if you slurp it and let the flavor develop on your tongue, its charming aftertaste reveals itself and hangs around. Sure, this makes drinking the tea a little more labor intensive than other teas but tasting the full profile of this tea is worth it.

The key with this tea is to let it sit for a very long time so often I will put it in a thermos and take it with me. With long steeping times, the flavor becomes very spicy and full-bodied, almost like a chai latte. It gives an excellent boost of energy and requires very little sweetener to compliment.
