Product Description

This 100 percent Organic Ginger Tea has something to offer to anyone who wants to achieve or maintain good health. For millennia, herbalists from all over the world have known of the healing, soothing, and energizing qualities of this root, considered the "universal medicine." Organic ginger (zingiber officinale) has been used worldwide as a safe and mild home remedy for a variety of conditions, including motion sickness, occasional upset stomach and intestinal gas, as well as minor menstrual cramps. Ayurvedic practitioners have used ginger for years as a way of activating the body's fire element (agni), which burns up ama (the body's toxins, comprised of both undigested food and naturally occurring toxins). When ama is decreased, the body gains strength, balance, and harmony. As a natural warming energizer, ginger is also known to support the immune system, promote rapid and complete digestion, and increase intestinal tone and peristalsis. Furthermore, it works as an antioxidant and has been shown to safely and effectively relieve nausea associated with motion. Organic Ginger Tea tastes delicious and provides the highest quality of a timeless remedy.

About the Brand
In 1969, Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring spiritual leader, began teaching Kundalini Yoga in America. He shared the knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India. After each class he would serve a special spice tea to his students, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. Given the unique, healthful properties of these delicious spices, they are still included in many Yogi Tea formulas as an added boost for overall well-being.

Ayurveda (science of life) is a comprehensive philosophy and health system developed 5,000 years ago in India. Ayurvedic medicine combines natural therapies with a balanced approach to treatment of disease. Ayurvedic philosophy places equal emphasis on body, mind and spirit as it strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual.

In the 1970s, small businesses began to take root under the inspiration and dedication of a number of Yogi Bhajan’s students. Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurants opened in the United States, Canada and Europe. The rich and spicy aroma of Yogi Tea brewing permeated the environment, and soon customers wanted to brew their own at home. Through these restaurants, the first batches of Yogi Tea were sold to the public.

In 1984, this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. Soon, the spices were more finely ground and sold in tea bags, and by 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors. In 1988, Yogi Bhajan and his team of master herbalists expanded the line to address specific health needs by creating highly specialized herbal formulas. In 1991, the company decided it would use organic ingredients. Obstacles immediately arose, as there simply weren’t enough organic herbs and spices available. But following a four-year-long effort, a partnership was formed with ForesTrade to source organic Indonesian cinnamon, the most-used ingredient at the time, and several other spices from community-based organic farms.

Currently, 17 Yogi Teas are certified organic, but all contain organic ingredients in variable proportion. The company sources 63 organic herbs and spices and is always looking for new organic sources as some of the natural healing herbs, oils and extracts used are not yet available organically.

Yogi Teas have continued to evolve, meeting the ever-changing needs of the customer. In 2007, the entire Yogi Tea line is being repackaged and introduced as a collection of newly defined Body, Mind, Spirit product lines. This new way of thinking takes tea beyond a simple beverage and into a way of living.

Each of the more than 50 Yogi Teas is formulated for a different purpose. Whether it’s time to jump start the day, participate in or recover from physical activity, calm the mind and clarify thoughts or revive the spirit and reflect on the world, there’s a Yogi Tea to meet that need.

Yogi Teas are developed and produced at the company’s modern manufacturing facility in Eugene, Oregon. There the highest-quality herbs and spices, expert knowledge of the health benefits of each ingredient and the wisdom of Ayurveda are incorporated into every tea.

Customer Reviews

Tastes Good But Bags Break
The tea is fine, but beware of the poor quality of the bags. Twice in two evenings, with bags from different boxes, I have poured hot water over the bags only to have them break. I don't have this problem with Alvita, PG Tips or other tea bags. If you're going to purchase this tea, remember to pour the water first and then introduce the bag.

Great tea at a reasonable price
Ginger tea is a great drink at any hour of the day. Gives the tongue that little tingle which is a catalyst of synapses in one's brain or a digestive panacea for one's stomach. Refreshing in the summer and warming in the winter, it is an all-seasons drink. In a pack of 6 boxes, can be purchased at almost 1/2 the price one would pay in a retail store. Great deal!

Doesn't taste very good.
Yogi Ginger Tea is great for soothing stomachaches, but I can't say much about the taste. Pepper is the overwhelming flavor in this tea, and I wish the tea were sweeter. It tastes exactly as if you soaked ginger slices in water.
