Sorry for the delay in posting new teas. I've been drinking them, just not writing about them. I'll try to get back on top of things. This tea is called Woman's Raspberry Leaf tea by Yogi.
Flavor: This tea has no astringent qualities to its flavor. The flavor is present, but it is not too sweet, too earthy, too "green," or too tannic. It is somewhat earthy and maybe a little nutty, and has been described as a good non-caffeinated substitute for a morning breakfast tea.
Suggested Additions: I added a little bit of sugar since I drank it in the morning and my blood sugar tends to need a little boost then. I would love to experiment next time with treating it like a robust morning breakfast tea and add milk with sugar. Also, I left a travel mug of it in the car one day, and I have to say that it is just as tasty cold as it is hot, and a longer steep time does not harm the taste at all.
Ingredients: Nothing but organic raspberry leaf.
Purpose: I agree with the suggestion that this makes a wonderful morning tea when caffeine is not an option but you still want something warm and cozy when you wake up. In herbal medicine, this tea is often used for women to nourish the reproductive system and ease menstrual discomforts. Herbalists also consider it a supportive herb to use during pregnancy. No need to give you a TMI moment, but I will certainly say that I've seen enough evidence (in just two brewings) of this tea working in my body that I will be using it frequently when I feel the need to nourish my reproductive system.
Bonus: The yogi wisdom of the day that is printed on the tea tag says, "The beauty in you is your spirit."
