Hey, what's Yogi Tea?

I am a tea lover, and this is for sure... but some months ago I was wondering around tea stores, looking for something good to drink and helping me relieving stress, tension and fatigue. I stumbled upon a Yogi Tea package and I thought "Why not?". In this way i discovered a new eay of having tea: it's good tasting, it has less teine and it's good even without sugar, honey, lemon or milk. You can have it at any hour!

where does it come from? 

Yogi Tea is the name of a range of herbal teas manufactured by the Golden Temple Company. The recipes use cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper as the basic ingredients, and the packaging informs that the recipes were formulated along the principles of ayurvedic medicine.
The company produces over 50 blends of tea. These include 22 blends in their Healing Formulas line, 11 green teas, 9 exotic teas, 5 Women's Healing Formulas, 3 organic chais, and 2 black teas. All the blends contain organic ingredients, but due to a lack of availability for some organic ingredients not all blends are entirely organic. The blends that are 95% organic have the USDA organic seal. Yogi Botanicals, who has a prohibition on GMOs, organizes the growing and distribution of the organic herbs and spices required for the teas and Quality Assurance International acts as a third party certifier. The tea bags are 100% oxygen bleached and recyclable.

Good for vegetarians, environment and spirituality 

The Yogi Tea Company was founded in 1982 as an outgrowth of the Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurant. Yogi Tea was founded by Ranbir Singh Bhai, Owner of Golden Temple Restaurant, who is a son of Yogi Bhajan and his partners Guru Simiran Singh Khalsa and Sadasat Singh Khalsa (former students of Yogi Bhajan).
Restaurant would prepare a blend of tea containing cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and black pepper (the basic ingredients found in chai a popular south-Asian tea) which the Bhajan's yoga students and Restaurant devotees dubbed "Yogi tea". The tea was so popular at Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurant that they started packaging it.
In 1987, Ranbir singh Bhai and his partners donated Yogi tea Company stocks for life time employment guarantee by Yogi Bhajan to Sikh Dharama, a Non Profit.
The company eventually expanded from herbal teas to include blends of black and green teas, too.
Since 2000, the boxes have featured illustrations by Seva Kaur, based on a devotional poem or prayer found on the inside of the box. The illustrations found on the Chai, Woman's, and Exotic Teas, are done by Latvian artist Anita Kreituse.
The boxes use vegetable based inks and dyes, and non-irradiated recycled carton materials.

Healing Yogi Teas 

Healing Formula Teas offer seasonal, digestive, relaxing, cleansing and energizing support, treating you from the inside out. A great way to feel better and balance your body, mind and spirit.
If you have a cold, you can choose a Throat relief tea, while at the end of a day full of work, problems and stress you'll prefer a Stress relief tea. And... they do work, really. You just have to sit down and sip them, and you'll immediately feel better, as they contain the right spice for your problems.
If you have sleeping problems, I'd suggest you Bedtime tea, while if you're preparing for the seaside the ideal tea is Detox.

Green Yogi Tea 

I drink a lot of green tea, both hot and cold. Yogi Green Tea is made with organic products only, each bag is inside a bag that is heat sealed and box itself is wrapped in cellophane.
This tea is caffeinated with only 58 mg of caffeine. Just to compare an 8 ounce cup of coffee has 90mg.
In the tea bags are organic green tea leaves from India, China and Sri Lanka.
You won't get a strong taste of flavor because there is no mint or orange in it; however, you will get a nice flavor of pure green tea.
It provides antioxidants and enhances the immune system and help with fatigue. I like to have a cup before I go to the gym to give me a little boost without the shakes.
Sorry, there are no results available from Amazon.

Women Yogi Tea 

They do have a special line of teas dedicated to women! Organic Woman's Moon Cycle is an organic way to regulate mood swings, cramps and other minor symptoms of premenstrual discomfort.
A relaxed body and mind are very important for a woman. In the ancient yogic texts it is written that the more a woman can relax, the easier it is for her to come into contact with her inner-self. Women's Tea is an aromatic herb and spice tea that supports this goal. Using Ayurvedic principles, the blossoms, herbs and spices in this Women's Tea blend, have been specially selected to help a woman maintain her inner balance and manifest her creativity.
Women's Energy is a natural way to help refresh the mind and body when experiencing daily fatigue. In Ayurvedic tradition, this herbal blend is used to help combat stress, poor digestion and the effects of improper eating and health habits. Unlike coffee, which gives an immediate rush of hyperactivity and the notorious 'peaks and valleys' associated with over-stimulation, this Ayurvedic blend strives to build stamina and provide natural sustained energy. Enjoy a cup of this delicious infusion any time of day to feel healthy, radiant and energised.
When we are fit, our lives flow in an easy, flexible rhythm. Women's Slim & Fit Ayurvedic herbal tea has been formulated with herbs thought to support a well functioning metabolism. Pu-erh tea is used worldwide for its beneficial properties. Mate, prized in South America for its valuable nutrients and antioxidants, is a natural energiser. This formula is balanced with rosemary, rooibos and nettle, all of which are known to be rich in nutrients. Enjoy Women's Slim & Fit Tea throughout the day while following your fasting or fitness program.

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Yoga has its origins in the human experience. Its techniques for living a healthy, happy and spiritually aware life have developed through thousands of years and across many civilizations.

Yoga began with the advent of conscious living. One person would find some small technique of massage, meditation or exercise that could alleviate a problem. The knowledge would then become a common community resource that all could practice. Much of early community life was formed around these bits of knowledge; cooking, for example, was a medicinal art and not aimed solely at satisfying the taste buds.

It was considered essential to have certain spices, oils, herbs and foods combined to maintain health and stimulate the automatic long term elimination and healing processes of the body. The taste of food was considered as one factor in the cooking but was never its aim. There were periods in history when whole areas and small civilizations designed their life around these techniques, living long and vibrant lives free from the violence or illnesses so common today and in recent history.

There are many benefits which you will notice from doing Kundalini Yoga. Regular practice will bring many positive changes to you. The more time and energy you put into the practice, the more you get will get out of it.
