drank Yogi Berry by DAVIDsTEA
59 tasting notes

I thought I was going to love this one. I imagined something really natural and zen tasting. Something that would help me be present and relax. Ok – maybe I had some high hopes.

In the tin it smelled like candy!

On my first sip, it was like what the hell is this? Ginger is definitely a major note. It reminds me of when I was really into juicing and I’d juice beets, following by large chunks of ginger to cover the horrible ‘dirt’ taste that beets have. Not a terribly pleasant taste.
After the ginger passes, I mildly taste strawberry. But not enough. My son was standing in front of me manging back a bowl of strawberries while I had this tea, so I grabbed a large piece and dropped it in. It upped the strawberry taste slightly.
I’ll also echo the other reviewers in saying it has a medicinal taste.

I’m determined that I can come up with a way to salvage this tea. Maybe ice it, and then float fruit in it. Maybe throw it in the blender with non-dairy milk and a handful of berries.

I find the best way to steep Yogi Berry is 45 seconds to a minute! Has more fruit flavours than ginger!

Thanks DesireeAleece! I just tried steeping for 1 minute and it’s WAY better! I still don’t think I’ll be running out to buy more, but at least it’s palatable now.

Tea literally gets me through the day. I start with something caffeinated in the morning, then usually a re-steep or less caffeinated tea mid morning and work my way to a herbal by night.

Green tea and oolong are top in my books. I recently discovered that I LOVE genmaicha – but I get why it’s not for everyone. My favourite flavours right now are lime, lavender and mint. I tend to dislike teas that have raisins or hibiscus, and I’m not fond of weak fruit infusions.

A lot of my teas come from Davidstea. I also have some Teavana and Tealish. When I can, I try to pick up unique teas. My most prized tea is a tea from Ste Anne’s Spa in Grafton, Ont called Cinnamon Glow.
