Yogi Tea Digest, Organic Ginger, Tea Bags, 16-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

Based on the name of the product, I was under the impression that the tea bags contained ginger root. Period. It turns out, however, that they also contain lemongrass, licorice root, peppermint leaf, and black pepper. I still like the tea, but I would have liked to know before buying it that it contained ingredients aside from ginger root.

I have purchased Yogi tea for years now. This tea is fine, but I was disappointed by the slight misinformation. I'm not sure why they simply call this tea "Ginger" at least on the front of the package. I am now paying much more attention to the actual ingredients of Yogi teas because this has 4 other ingredients of which 3 are in greater amount in this one. I just wanted plain ginger tea and this has licorice, lemongrass, peppermint & black pepper. Black pepper & licorice are very strong flavors especially if you aren't aware they are steeping in your cup. It's a fine tea, yet holds a misleading title. That's all. Thank you.

This tea is absolutely delicious after eating a rather substantial meal. I served it to friends after having curried chicken, which is a little spicey. It was the perfect ending to a flavorful meal. I drink this in the evening....or in the afternoon....or for my morning break. If you like ginger, and if you like tea, I'd recommend this ginger tea!

*****
This Organic Ginger Tea from Yogi Tea is ideal as a digestive aid, and it also purportedly enhances circulation. It's a lovely, intense, all natural herbal tea made from organic ginger root, organic lemon grass, orgnaic licorice root, organic peppermint leaf, and organic black pepper. The taste is exactly like ginger, spicy and peppery, with sweet overtones. It's very nice anytime, but especially after a meal.

Note that this review is for the six pack of Organic Ginger Teas, an amazing savings on Amazon by buying in bulk!

I am definitely impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Ginger Organic 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: "Our 100% Organic Ginger tea has something to offer to anyone who wants to get or stay healthy. 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. Our 100% Organic Ginger tea tastes delicious and provides the highest quality of a timeless remedy."

There is a warning on the box that if you have indigestion or heartburn that persists you should see a doctor. There are no other cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Highly recommended.

Don't mind the reviewer saying it tastes nasty. It's quite good, and, as with any tea, you can brew it as light as you want. I don't think this tea is too strong at all, I brew it with the hottest water I can for as long as I can.

It's a very healthy, tasty, beneficial tea. Highly recommended.
