The last Christmas gift I had yet to try from 2014 is this Raspberry Passion Perfect Energy blend from Yogi Teas, which was among the goodies I received from my sister's family. On a wet and gray week like this one, an energizing cup of tea sounded like just the ticket!
The teabags are individually wrapped, a feature I always appreciate. The company has a rather lengthy description of this tea: "A complex and delicious blend of Organic Green Tea and Organic Assam Black Tea invigorate the body, while natural amino acid L-Theanine promotes calm, mental focus. Ayurvedic herbs Organic Gotu Kola Leaf and Ashwagandha act to balance and energize naturally. Raspberry, passion flower and a hint of sage combine for a delicious and intriguing tea that is sure to energize the body while calming and focusing the mind with every cup." While I can't say the tea gave me more energy (or mental focus, alas!) than any other cup of tea, I can say that it was mighty tasty. Raspberry teas can range from wimpy to too-tart, but this one was just right, and I enjoyed the fruity flavor.
Did you catch a glimpse of the teabag tag up top? It reads, "Love is where compassion prevails and kindness rules." I quite agree!
The tea steeps to a nice dark colour but too bad it doesn't give the energy boost you were expecting. I like the saying on the tag, it's gratifying to see something meaningful.
