Thursday Tea Time - Color it green

This week - Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant 

Cost:   $2.99-$3.99 at supermarkets, Whole Foods
Number of teabags:  16
Caffeine:  Yes (21 mg)
Type of tea:   Green, herbal
Steeping time:  3 minutes
Add ins:  Nothing at all needed -- I did try adding a little unfiltered honey, but it actually made it too sweet!
Ingredients:  Organic green tea, grapeseed and arnia (potent antioxidants to combat free radicals), organic lemongrass, licorice, jasmine green tea, all organic: alfalfa leaf, burdock root, dandelion root and Irish moss (?! no idea what that does)
(Note:  Because of all their herbal ingredients, always check with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have medical condition)
Fragrance:  Floral citrus
Opinion:  This is a nice, organic green tea.   Sweet and not bitter.   All the ingredients play nicely together to create a good balance of flavor.  It tastes great iced or warm.  I especially cheer that it can stand alone without any additional sweetener.  The licorice and jasmine take care of that just fine.
I also like their tea tags.  And the boxes.   You can open and then refold them back into a box, wrong side out.  And decorate them while you are sipping your tea!  Google or check Pinterest and see what others have done.
