Yogi Tea Review (2026): Is It Worth It? Best & Worst Blends

Yogi Bedtime Tea is the blend that built the brand's reputation, and it earns its place. It pairs organic chamomile and Tildén Linden flowers with a Spearmint-and-licorice base, plus a touch of cardamom and cinnamon for warmth. The result is soft, lightly sweet, and aromatic — the kind of cup that signals to your body that the day is over.

The licorice here is restrained enough to read as gentle sweetness rather than candy, which is why Bedtime converts even licorice skeptics. Steep it 5–7 minutes for the fullest body. At roughly $5 a box, it's cheap enough to drink every single night, and the compostable bags are a nice touch. If you want a slightly different profile, Yogi also makes Bedtime Vanilla and Honey Chamomile variants on the same idea.

Yogi DeTox Tea is one of the brand's best-sellers and one of its most misunderstood. The blend layers burdock and dandelion with juniper berry, ginger, black pepper, Indian sarsaparilla and licorice, finished with warming Ayurvedic spices like cinnamon, cardamom and clove. It's bold, a little spicy, noticeably sweet from the licorice, and unlike anything else on the shelf.

On flavor alone it's a 4-plus; on truth-in-naming it loses a point. The licorice is assertive here, so licorice-haters should skip it. If you're pregnant, on blood-pressure medication, or taking other prescriptions, note that licorice root and several of these botanicals can interact — check the box and ask a clinician before drinking it daily.

Yogi Ginger Tea is what happens when Yogi keeps it simple. Organic ginger leads, supported by lemongrass, peppermint, black pepper and a measured amount of licorice. It's clean, warming, and aromatic without the muddiness that can creep into Yogi's busier blends.

Because the licorice plays backup rather than lead, this blend dodges Yogi's biggest flavor complaint and lands as genuinely crowd-pleasing. Steep 5–7 minutes; add honey if you want more sweetness or lemon for brightness. At around $5 a box it's a pantry staple that earns its spot.

Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant is Yogi's most popular caffeinated blend. It builds on organic green tea with pomegranate, lemongrass, jasmine green tea and — yes — licorice. The licorice and lemongrass make it noticeably sweeter and more aromatic than a plain green, which is the whole point and also the whole problem, depending on your palate.

It's well-made and forgiving (it doesn't turn bitter as fast as bare green tea), making it a good gateway green for people who find straight sencha too astringent. But if you want clean, grassy, single-origin green character, this isn't it — the blend buries it. Steep 3–5 minutes with water just off the boil to keep it smooth.

Yogi Honey Lavender Stress Relief is one of Yogi's most elegant blends. Organic chamomile and lavender lead, rounded out with lemon balm, lemongrass, Spearmint, peppermint and a honey flavor that makes it feel indulgent without added sugar. It's floral and soothing but bright enough that it won't knock you out — the ideal afternoon 'reset' cup.

Crucially for a Yogi blend, the licorice takes a back seat here, so it's a great pick for people who normally find the brand too sweet-rooty. Steep 5–7 minutes. At about $5 a box, it's an easy daily indulgence.

Yogi Throat Comfort Tea is built for the days your throat feels raw. It combines licorice, slippery elm bark, wild cherry bark, mullein, and warming spices into a sweet, slightly syrupy cup that genuinely feels soothing going down. There's a reason people keep a box in the cupboard for cold season.

The catch: this is the most licorice-dominant blend in our roundup, so licorice-averse drinkers should skip it entirely. The same licorice caution applies more here than anywhere — if you're pregnant or on blood-pressure medication, this is one to clear with a clinician before sipping daily. Used occasionally for a sore throat, though, it's exactly what it sets out to be.
