I like tea. I could drink tea all the time. I've been searching for a wider variety of teas, particularly those with cinnamon or apple flavors, and I found Yogi Tea. I sent away for a free sample. I received the Himalayan Apple Spice tea. Then I saw a box at Big Lots so I bought it. I tried it and loved it. It had a great taste and the aftertaste wasn't bad at all. Cinnamon was a key ingredient, but the other spices blended well. I also love the little "fortune cookie" messages on the tea bags, too.
I bought a couple more varieties, and I tried the Joint Support formula. It was okay, and I had planned to drink it every other day to see if I could feel the benefits. I purchased one for stomach ailments and indigestion, but I have not had any problems arise that I would need to drink the tea. However, I soon realized that caffeine, along with chocolate, was wreaking havoc with my system. And out of the three varieties I had purchased, two of them had caffeine. My tea consumption has been dramatically reduced, and I have three boxes of Yogi tea that now sit in my cupboards unused, one of which I would only drink if I was having stomach issues. I have not totally given up tea with caffeine or chocolate or my ultimate favorite, coffee, but when I do consume it, Yogi tea is not high on my list. I have since checked in a local store to see if other flavors were caffeine free, and they do exist, but they weren't a flavor I would drink.
I give Yogi teas 3.5 out of 5. A lot of their flavors are good, and depending on where you look, the price is fine (Big Lots and Meijer), but for those who need to stay away from caffeine, be sure to check the box first. And for those who use artificial sweetener, please be aware that some varieties have been sweetened with stevia leaf; not enough for my sweet tooth, though.
