Breathe Deep

Herbal Tea by Yogi Tea

Breathe Deep Tea is certified organic and features a blend of herbs and spices formulated to enhance healthy breathing. This healing formula utilizes organic thyme, an herb whose active ingredient, thymol, helps to loosen phlegm and relax the muscles of the respiratory tract. Breathe Deep tea also includes organic Australian eucalyptus (eucalyptus globulus) and elecampane (inula helenium), pungent herbs that clear the mucous membranes and are beneficial to total respiratory health. Organic basil acts as a warming, adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support the respiratory system and help the body adjust to stress. Organic ginger root soothes the stomach and aids with digestion. The formula is also enhanced with Organic Mullein, a cooling herb soothing to the mucous membranes. Yogi Teas recommend that Breathe Deep be sweetened with a teaspoon or two of honey, which has been traditionally known to support the body’s expectoration process.
In ancient India, yogis developed a sophisticated herbal healing system; a wisdom that Yogi Bhajan brought to the West in 1969 and used to create Yogi Tea. We combine this ancient system with the findings of modern science, choosing ingredients that are certified organic and not genetically modified, to create healing formulas to serve you: body, mind and spirit. To ensure the purity, quality and efficacy of this healing formula, Yogi Tea heat-seals each tea bag and cello-wraps each box.

9 Tasting Notes

I seem to be in the minority, but I love this tea. It is strongly flavored, and just breathing in the steeping licorice and eucalyptus seems to help. I have asthma and I tried this tea ona day in which I was having more trouble breathing than usual and was coughing a lot. This tea really did seems to help some, especially with calming the cough. It’s not a cure, but a bit of extra relief is always welcome. It is a pretty strong tea with unusual flavor and heavy licorice taste and smell, so it’s definely not for everyone, but I loved both the taste and the effects and will certainly be buying more.

Tastes nasty — especailly for someone who doesn’t like licorice. But it can help soothe clogged sinuses and sore throats. I found it helped ease the pain of sinus headaches while waiting for the Benedryl to kick in.

I’m definitely not drinking this for taste, and at any rate, my head is too stuffed up to taste much anyway. This is a good thing, because I dislike the taste of licorice. What taste I can get from this is intensely herby with a licorice aftertaste. It tastes the way dried thyme smells. It’s not unpleasant, and what’s more- it does work. I stopped blowing my nose halfway through the cup, and can breathe through it. I’m tempted to just carry around a cup of this until my cold passes.

This tea is all kinds of weird. The ingredients are basically everything that’s good for a sore throat, but the end result tastes a lot like the way Vick’s Vapo-Rub smells. I guess that’s the eucalyptus in it? It has a strangely sweet aftertaste as well, which is probably from the ground licorice. If they ditched the cinnamon, this would taste exactly like absinthe. I added a teaspoon of honey. That improved it a bit, but I still didn’t finish my cup.

This mostly smells herbal like and this is a teabag. i steeped this for a short time. This mostly tastes like licorice with the other ingredients in the back round. Considering I like licorice this is pretty decent to me.

I have trouble with my sinuses year round, and was a bit skeptical that this tea would even put a dent in them. However, I was surprised how effective it has been. The flavor of the tea is a little on the sweet side, but overall I find it pleasant.

I have found that if you are a little congested 1 bag for 10 minutes and drink while hot. However, if you are in a bad way try 2 bags in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes. Hope it works well for you.

This tea does it’s job fairly well, my lungs feel clearer and breathing feels easier after drinking a cup. I like to mix it with other teas so that it’s less intense, but I enjoy the floral-sweet aftertaste. As others have said, just inhaling the steam feels therapeutic.

This tea is pretty good. The taste is not the best but it’s not terrible either. I usually mix it with another type of tea just to give it a better flavor. It does work pretty much as intended. I get better relief just by sitting over the steeping tea bag and breathing in the vapors. Good stuff.

A friend got this for me when I was under the weather. I think it is great! Helps out with breathing, but also tastes lovely too. Everything in it works together to make a very comforting cup.

Now I get this out anytime I’m having breathing issues or when I just need something comforting to drink. Very nice tea.
