Description
BeneBites of Wisdom:
We love the brand; the flavours change from your typical and somewhat predictable flavours. This is ideal for those who think that herbal teas are boring and yet, could really do with less coffee. A big jump for some, but the packaging keeps it interesting. Each box has a yoga pose instructions. Each tea bag has a motto, a kind of mantra for the day, which can spur self-reflection.
If you have the likes of hiatus hernia, Barrett’s Oesophagus or Crohn’s disease, it’s important to stay away from coffee.
Yes, there are coffee alternatives but sometimes it is better to make a transition to something that doesn’t really compare, than compare a coffee alternative to real coffee, as coffee lovers never fail to do.
These teas are warm and soul nourishing for those who aspire to be more into yoga and meditation.
Caution: Only one tea in the assortment of flavours that we currently offer, does not have ginger in it. It’s Bedtime.
If allium, in particular ginger, is an issue, try the others with caution. Ariana is also allium intolerant and the ginger in these particular flavours do not cause any discomfort. She can’t taste the ginger and did not feel unwell afterwards. Other flavours who have dominant ginger notes were not selected.
One tea, Green Energy, has green tea in it. While it’s a marvellous anti-oxidant, Green tea is strong. Even if taken in the morning, it may impact on your sleep (well, it does Ariana’s).
What we like about them:
The ethos – “Serve Your Spirit” is Yogi Tea’s motto
The range of unique flavours: Mental Clarity is an interesting one!
The taste: Ginger is a ubiquitous ingredient but it’s so faint that Ariana can’t detect it in the range she selected, except in Sweet Chai. This may turn out to be your favourite, if you enjoy ginger, but comes is a warning from us, if you don’t enjoy the taste of ginger.
Ginger allergy? Try “Bedtime”
If you usually have 0 Ginger tolerance, try them all, you will be pleasantly surprised (there are other flavours that Ariana can’t bear for their ginger content, so they didn’t make the cut). These are pretty safe if you exercise caution.
Difficulty sleeping or Green Tea not agreeing with you? Avoid “Green Energy”
