Yogi Tea Organic Ginger and Lemon, 17 Tea Bags 30.6g

Yogi Tea Organic Ginger and Lemon, in brief.

Yogi Tea Organic Ginger and Lemon, 17 Tea Bags 30.6g is a herbal or fruit infusion; the ingredient panel on the pack as it stands has no tea leaf in it.

Caffeine: Ginger and Lemon is a herbal or fruit infusion, and it is naturally caffeine free because none of the current pack's ingredients is black, green, white or oolong tea. No milligram figure is inferred. See our caffeine guide to see where tea leaf, decaf tea and herbal infusions part company.

Yogi Tea Organic Ginger and Lemon is the warming ginger-and-citrus Ayurvedic herbal from Yogi Tea, the German-American Ayurvedic tea brand, built on ginger root with lemongrass, lemon peel, liquorice and other supporting Ayurvedic herbs, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the proper Ayurvedic-style alternative to the Twinings Lemon and Ginger or the standard supermarket lemon-and-ginger blends.

The ginger root provides the structural heat-lifting work, giving the cup its warming bite, while the lemongrass and lemon peel sit on top as the bright citrus layer, and the liquorice adds a faint natural sweetness underneath. The Ayurvedic recipe leans harder on the ginger and the liquorice than a standard British lemon-and-ginger cup, giving the cup a fuller, slightly sweeter body than the European supermarket equivalents at the same price tier.

A seventeen-bag Yogi Tea household pack at a premium price for the organic-Ayurvedic tier, a sensible upgrade over the standard supermarket Lemon and Ginger blends for any household interested in the German-American Ayurvedic interpretation of the recipe, the brand's reputation for proper organic-certified Ayurvedic blends making this a worthwhile alternative. Yogi Tea is one of the largest Ayurvedic-tradition herbal brands in the European market, the line drawing on the work of the late Yogi Bhajan in the nineteen sixties and seventies bringing the Ayurvedic herbal philosophy to the West, and the brand has held its place across the European herbal aisle for several decades on the strength of the recipes alone. The Ginger and Lemon variant is one of the longer-running everyday cups in the Yogi line, the sensible house ginger that ports well across the day and takes a teaspoon of honey beautifully as a proper hot toddy alternative.
