Teepee Dreams from Native American Tea Company
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend61 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 21st, 2024
Here's another box of this brand that I got overpriced at a Black Hills souvenir store. Like the others, the bags are both small and underfilled, docking the "value" category, despite this being a decent-tasting blend.
The dry-bag aroma came across as a disjointed melange of a lot of stuff, much akin to the "unde...
DeTox from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend44 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 25th, 2023
To think, I was on a run of decent to good scores for teas from this brand...no more. DeTox has no real personality because it seems to be an "everything but the kitchen sink" concoction. The dry-bag aroma is interesting: peppery, grassy, a little minty or fruity, depending on the way the vapors waft across the pass...

Mango Ginger from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend79 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 30th, 2022
I liked this more than most Yogi blends I've tried, probably because it has tropical fruit flavors I enjoy greatly (mango and passion fruit), a spicy kick, and "only" nine ingredients. [For the uninitiated, that's extreme simplicity for Yogi Tea.] Those ingredients are (organic): ginger, cinnamon, rooibos, mango flav...

Kava Stress Relief® from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2022
Some Yogi teas have bazillions of ingredients, while smelling and/or tasting like disjointed mishmashes of unrelated flavors, and/or spice-infused clippings from a lawn-mower bag. Good news: not this one! Kava Stress Relief seems to have some coherent and pleasant character to it. Regardless of the veracity of its a...

Green Tea Super Antioxidant from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend44 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 25th, 2021
A co-worker who drinks a lot of medicinal herbal teas left me this and regurgitated not the tea itself, but the claim that it "helps reduce free radicals". My response: "How? By imprisoning the radicals?" Smart-aleck retorts aside, I'm wary of teas that make a bunch of health claims that aren't solidly backed medical...

Organic Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 18th, 2021
As medicinal herbals go, this one was OK—not as OK as Oklahoma pronounced itself on 1970s license plates, but OK nonetheless. The dry bag gave off a pronounced licorice aroma, which doesn't bother me, since I'm cool with licorice. But some folks hate licorice, and I predict they won't take a shine to the smell or t...

Organic Herbal Supplement: Detox Cleansing Blend from Trader Joe's
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 18th, 2021
With similar coloration of the outer box, as well as ingredients, I suspect this is the Trader Joe's imitation of Yogi's "DeTox" product. However, I can't compare the two directly, since I haven't (yet) tried the Yogi version. Still, this is the best wellness/medicinal tea I've had to date, one of the best herbal te...

Sleepytime Throat Tamer™ Wellness Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2020
Strangely, I found this much more aromatic, flavorful and overall pleasant to drink than the seemingly similar "just" Sleepytime. That's probably because it has more stuff that is flavorful and aromatic on the ingredients list.
The common components between the two blends are chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass, ...
Yogi Soothing Caramel Bedtime from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2019
Here Yogi offers a caramel-flavored blend that has a few ingredients not listed in the more-established "Bedtime" offering, and vice versa. Perhaps they are different enough that this version deserves its own independent title. For reasons elucidated below, I propose "Sweet Desert Dust Storm". Would the marketing ...

Organic Gas Relief® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 5th, 2019
Friends and family will testify to my potent propensity for production of organic gas, from which they desperately desire relief. This tea, "Organic Gas Relief", therefore came not only recommended, but insistently so. It's touching that so many people care so much.
According to the box, precisely 300 mg each of f...
Lemon Ginger Herbal Plus Probiotics from Bigelow Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 23rd, 2019
Caveat: While tolerant of them in some combinations and contexts, I'm not a big fan of either lemon or ginger. Please take this rating in the context of assessing the nominal mix of two flavors that, while not repulsive to me, aren't particular favorites either.
When I do have ginger, I look for it to give a good...
Sleepytime Extra from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 17th, 2019
The only difference I've detected between this product and regular Sleepytime is the addition of valerian root to the ingredients list, and a caution on the side of the box about not driving or operating machinery after using, as if this is some herbal-tea version of Ambien or Sominex. Of course, it's not. I'm writin...

Blood Pressure from Triple Leaf Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: China37 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 1st, 2019
Seeing the questionable claims made by some wellness-tea makers, including this one on its site, raises my blood pressure. That rather opposes the stated intent of this tea! Fortunately that effect is temporary. It's wise to heed the last part of RateTea's description of Triple Leaf: "Some of this company's product...

Green Tea Triple Echinacea from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 20th, 2018
Yet another culled from my sister-in-law's large and diverse organic/natural-tea collection, which has included a lot of Yogi teas, this is one of the better-tasting ones from either her clay jar or the Yogi teas I've tried.
The dry bag and in-cup aromas reminded me of a generic store-brand green tea with mild spea...
Ginkgo Clarity (formerly Ginko IQ) from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 21st, 2018
Just drank a fresh hot cup of...what's it called? Ahh yes, Ginkgo Clarity, right there on that picture to the right. Oh, but I forgot what to say.
Just kidding. Since I'd have to consume the product regularly to evaluate its contribution to enhanced mental acuity, and that's a notoriously tenuous concept for me a...
Bedtime from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend79 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 17th, 2018
Whoo-wee. This tea's ingredients list might fill a Houston phone book. [I only slightly exaggerate.] I'm tired from reading all that. Perhaps that's one of its secrets to sleep promotion.
How could any of the cavalcade of components have much effect when packed into only about 1/4 of a dry bag with all the oth...
EveryDay Detox® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend32 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 15th, 2018
Here's another sample accepted from my sister-in-law's clay jar full of different, mainly unusual organic teas. What a hodgepodge of strange ingredients is listed, including burdock, dandelion, something called "cleavers herb", and the one that gave me the most pause, stinging nettle.
Stuff that makes skin rashes...
Green Tea Kombucha Decaf from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 14th, 2018
I can bear this Yogi. However, it could be better. For a wellness tea, it was a pleasant, light, fruity drink (thanks to the lemongrass and added natural passionfruit and plum flavors), using decaf green tea and spearmint leaf as a vector to deliver the goods. The aromas (dry bag and in-cup) were quite faint, however...

Energy Red from Teatulia
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 21st, 2018
Energy Red is a weird tea, truly an odd bird among herbals I've tried, that comes across flavor-wise as both sweet and mellow, and also reminiscent of the underside of a lawn mower. Yet corporately, it claims to be an energy booster despite no caffeine or sugar, and caters to the hurried and impatient drinker as somet...

Organic Tulsi with Ginger from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 28th, 2017
Flip this tea's title around and call it "Ginger with Tulsi", and we have an accurate portrayal. I've consumed and reviewed one other Tulsi tea (also containing ginger), and still can't determine what Tulsi is supposed to taste like. Maybe it slathers a mellow veneer over the ginger, because this concoction is fairly...

Ogranic Green Tea Dandelion from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2017
My sister-in-law offered me a bag of this, and immediately I had to ask: "Organic? Who on Earth is purposefully growing inorganic dandelions?" Most folks don't have to walk far to find organic dandelions (at least what would qualify by no-pesticide, no-herbicide, no-artificial-fertilizer standards). Some sprout from...

Cinnamon Berry Probiotic Balance from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend48 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2017
Overall, this wasn't a favorite, but is tolerable if one can either overcome a bothersome aroma, ignore it, or fail to notice in the first place.
Upon reading the side of the unopened bag wrapper, so many thoughts began swirling across my cranium's vast and mostly empty void, including, in about this order,
1. W...
Organic Licorice Root from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 20th, 2017
A co-worker who is into the natural, herbal-wellness scene offered me a bag of this tea to try, which of course is irresistible when it's something I haven't reviewed in this medium before. Looking up licorice root online, it's advertised as beneficial to gastrointenstinal difficulties. My response: "I ain't got di...

Multi-vitamin Fruit Tea from Teekanne
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 19th, 2017
Teekanne seems to revel in fruity herbals, based on their variety of offerings in this arena; however, as of this writing, I can't find this specific blend on their company site. Instead you'll see it in German food stores (where I got it) and online (Amazon, GermanDeli, etc.).
As with the other Teekanne fruit te...
Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 11th, 2016
This blend seemingly has thousands of herbal ingredients (in reality, 16 listed), which makes it no wonder the label admonishes drinkers to, "Consult your healthcare provide prior to use if you are taking any medication or have a medical condition." Upon first sip, I wondered if some combination of all those ingredien...
