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 flavor, licorice root, fennel, passion fruit flavor, cardamom pod, and mango.

Though mild, the dry-bag aroma was pleasing, more of the lower-middle tier ingredients like cardamom, fennel and licorice than the top ones. Ginger and mango came out more in the in-cup aroma. The mango really came alive in the taste, and balanced nicely with a rather spicy version of ginger they use (that I like a lot). Not being much of a fan of ginger as a stand-alone flavor, I like how it plays nice with the fruits, fennel and licorice here, and I must reiterate: I really liked the unusually spicy kick their choice of ginger has. It's a very warming beverage as a result, and best drunk hot (the cooled version definitely flattens, noticeably). As a hot herbal tea, it's one of the top handful I've had flavor-wise. I only knock a little off value because, like other Yogi teas, it can get a bit pricey, and because of the 16-bag "shrinkflation" in their boxes.

The medicinal/wellness claim of this blend is that it aids digestion, based on the role of ginger in Ayurvedic medicine. I digested the tea fine, so I suppose that's a good start!
