DeTox

Indian food may be my biggest vice. The way I eat curry you’d think there was some sort of famine on the Northwest coast, or something. I’m angry at myself..

Which is why I chose to make this as my first “tea” of the day. I was expecting it to not be pleasant. I’ve had dextox drinks before and while I can’t attest to their life changing cleaning powers I do know they can taste pretty awful. This one is actually nice, like a spiced and more delicate chamomile herbal. The ingredients do not list chamomile so it may be the dandelion? The sarsaparilla root definitely makes me think of rootbeer, which is another thing I appreciate.

I steeped the bag in a cup for ten minutes in boiling water but the result is a very mild, spiced floral concoction that I’d actually be happy to drink often. I don’t know what a Forsythia Fruit or half of the other ingredients are but I guess that’s what Google is for.

The only thing that would’ve made this herbal brew better is magic. Magic to forget about the huge container of veggie korma sitting in the fridge. Magic to ignore the fact that the whole house smells like delicious food. Curry, why are you like this? I should get out of the house for a bit and mail Cavocorax’s matcha parcel.

Thank you Jackie T for this sample!

A spicy, peppery brew, but slightly sweet. It makes me think of root beer blended with cinnamon, which ain’t much of a surprise since one of the ingredients is sarsaparilla root. It’s not bad. In fact, I suspect my boyfriend would enjoy it quite a bit as he’s a huge root beer fan. There’s also a strong licorice note.

It’s a bagged tea. A bagged tisane, I should say, since there aren’t any tea leaves here.

I’ve got a persistent cough at the moment, so if this could just pull out whatever toxins are causing the cough, that would be just swell!

I’m not an expert on tea, but the natural sweetness and spicy notes of this tea has made me care about what’s in my cup! It’s veeeeery smooth.

I’ve joined Steepster to get recs on teas that I’ll enjoy as much (and hopefully more!) than Yogi Detox. Enjoy in good health!

Another herbal I’m adding to my routine for a while to help with winter fatigue. Yogi offers their Detox versions in a berry and peach flavor also, but check the labels carefully – there are differing levels of ingredients in each. The peach flavor appealed to me, but it had lower % of the ingredients I was looking for (dandelion root, for example). By law, ingredients on labels have to be listed in order of % of the total (for those who weren’t aware).

The aroma is heavenly. I don’t so much get the sarsparilla as I get the caramom and cinnamon coming through. Licorice root adds a sweetness in the sip, and the pepper adds a kick to it. The pepper was a surprise – I like adding pepper as a savory enhancer to balance the sweet in different things, chocolate and so forth.

The other thing I’m noticing with Yogi teas is that the steeping time/strength doesn’t seem to affect the taste especially. I put 2 bags in a 4-cup teapot – intentionally didn’t want a super-strong infusion, but the result was still a peppery sweetness.

It’s enjoyable, whether you’re drinking it for health or for taste. Reminiscent of holiday spice teas.

On a day when I already did a Detox yoga routine (Ana Brett/Ravi Singh- highly recommended; try Amazon.com) I though this couldn’t hurt. And Yogi is letting you send free samples to friends right now via their website so I got to pick this out courtesy of Kristin.

I can’t speak much for the effectiveness of this in actually detoxing my body, but it tastes bearable (I like the Peach version better though.) It’s almost peppery, with a slightly sweet background note. It’s definitely quintessentially ‘herbal tea’. I might actually try a box of this, and if I do I’ll update about whether I notice any actual effects. I’d love to drink a bag every time I do the detox yoga routine.

I love this stuff! My only problems are it dries out my mouth and you aren’t supposed to use it for prolonged usage. Great flavor and it makes me feel healthier

Though the taste gets some getting used to, this tea does make me feel healthier and more detoxified when I drink it regularly.

I enjoy this tea a lot. Spicy and warm, but smooth.

After reading people’s reviews I was nervous to brew this, but I Just took my first sip and I’m very surprised to say that I really like it! I did add a small spoonful of raw agave nectar to help sweeten.
It tastes like a light spicy root beer. I might use it to do a monthly detoxification. :)

Detox Teas usually dont taste great, but this one was actually pretty pleasant. I’ll continue for a week and hopefully my body will continue feeling better.

I don’t drink this to “detox”. I drink it for the pleasing flavor. I love licorice, and the other spices are fun. I don’t add sweetener- I think it would detract from the flavors.

I really like this tea. I was happy with the spicy flavor. I enjoy it chilled and like to drink it to help with food cravings. This is the first entire box of tea I’ve ever finished.

i use it it’s wonderful…i like variety and love to try new teas so some days i just crave this..and that’s my body telling me detox time!

If you wanna be rollin on ayurvedic herbs, this is your best bet. Definitely gives you clarity and some really excellent energy. I’m using it right now for a light detox week and I can already feel myself pepping up.

Flavor wise… It really is supposed to be like medicine. So it doesn’t bowl you over with awesome tastiness, but it isn’t really supposed to.

One of my favorite Yogi teas!

I seriously couldn’t even drink it. I tried to give it away to other tea drinkers and had no takers…wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll eat fruit and veggies to dexot, thank you.

Just started drinking this. Not too bad. The taste isn’t much to ride home about and I haven’t had enough to notice any affects, but will update when I do.

has a spicy after taste…. leaves the flavor of bark in the throat….

First of all, this tea does not taste all that great.
HOWEVER, I drink 2 cups a day for a week each month, and it really helps me.
Since I started doing this, my skin is clearer, I have more energy, and my other systems (disgestive, mostly) seem to work better.

It doesn’t taste terrible…it’s spicy. The flavor is like chai and licorice – not my ideal, but definitely bearable due to the benefits.
