Yogi Tea Green Tea Goji Berry, 16-Count Boxes

****

This Goji Berry Green Tea from Yogi Tea is a daily energy tonic. It's an all natural tea made from organic green tea leaf, natural and organic flavors, organic green matcha tea leaf, and goji berries (lyceum barbarum). The taste is mild, only very slightly berry-like, tasting mostly of green tea, with a very pleasant aroma; in fact, it's so mild, that I would definitely use two tea bags and brew it for the full six minutes. It does not get bitter. Unless you enjoy very mild tea, you should plan on getting fewer cups of tea from the box. For this reason I gave this tea only four stars.





I am impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Goji Berry Green Tea comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.





Yogi Tea writes this on the box about the tea's benefits: "Green Tea Goji Berry is an uplifting daily tonic that promotes energy and revitalization with a fragrant blend of Organic Green Tea, Organic Japanese Green Matcha Tea and Goji Berry. For centuries, the peoples of the Far East have treasured Green Tea as a delicious and energizing tonic. A recent study in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology (2005) suggests that long-term consumption of Green Tea might provide increased endurance while exercising. Green Tea is also celebrated for its antioxidant properties, which may help promote longevity. This formula also contains Organic Japanese Green Matcha Tea, a powdered form of green tea that provides a burst of energy and delicate flavor. The bright red Goji Berry has been consumed for centuries in the East, and is considered one of the most healing fruits in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This treasured fruit helps convert food into energy, protect the liver from damaging toxins and provides a boost to both the immune and circulation systems. Find yourself on the path to a revitalized life with the invigorating qualities of Green Tea Goji Berry."





There are no cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.





Goji Berry Green Tea contains approximately 52 mg of caffeine per tea bag, which is a bit over half of what is normally found in an 8 oz cup of coffee. It's a pretty strong green tea, with a good portion of the energizing effect coming from caffeine.





I really like this tea, and it is very health-promoting. Recommended.

I bought this tea at the local King Soopers as I was looking for a supplement for caffeine. This tea tastes good and helps give me energy. Not as much as caffeine but is still enough for a pick me up and helps refresh my mind when I come home from work/classes.
