yogi tea

[Guest guest]

sat nam!

i was just wondering if the pre-packaged flavored versions of Yogi Tea

have the same health benefits as the original formula? I know in the

instructions for preparing the original from bulk it talks about adding

black tea at the end to "activate" the ingredients, and you don't really

do this with a pre-packaged bag (...well i don't, i guess you could,

anyway.....). I was just curious since i bought the flavored kind when

i couldn't find the bulk form at the local store.

thanks

"same health benefits as the original formula?"

 

--each tea has different ingredients. I think the original yogi tea

is the only one that has the teaspoon of black tea requirement.

 

you can by the bulk 'Original Yogi Tea', from a-healing.com, but you

have to buy a pound. I think they call it Cinnamon Spice or similar.

Ginger is an important ingredient in yogi tea. All of the ingeredients are

common spices that I keep for cooking. When I was studying Chinese herbs, I

learned that raw ginger is not as hot as dried ginger. The dry ginger is a

digestive, but in Chinese herbs we use it in place of a very hot, but

somewhat poisonous herb. When I make yogi tea from the herbs that I measure

out with a gram scale. I use raw ginger. I don't really measure the raw

ginger using a scale since it is not at all dangerous. But I do measure the

dry ginger. I feel personally that it tastes much better than the

pre-packaged tea. But then, I use raw ginger in many of the things that I

cook so I always have it. We use it in cooking for the taste and as a

digestive.
