5.0 out of 5 stars Put a cold on hold with this amazing tea!, August 4, 2004

I bought this tea mainly to have something soothing to drink when I'm not feeling well. However, on several different occasions, I made some for my husband just as he was starting to show signs of getting sick, and he is convinced that the tea prevented him from getting a full-blown cold. Now he SWEARS by the stuff and asks me to make him some of that "tea with china in it" (for e-CHINA-cea) whenever he starts to get symptoms.

The tea has a pleasant herbal taste that is perfectly enhanced with a little honey but fine without as well. As an added bonus, the box describes simple yoga stretches to provide relaxation and stress relief, and the tag of each tea bag offers a brief meditation. Highly recommended!

This Echinacea Immune Support herbal tea from Yogi Tea is for the natural boosting of the immune system. It's an all natural tea made from organic peppermint leaf, organic ;lemon grass, organic Echinacea root (angustifolia, purprea, pallida), organic licorice root, organic cinnamon bark, organic spearmint leaf, organic fennel seed, organic lemon flavor, Echinacea purpurea root extract (phenols 12%), organic cardamom seed, organic rose hips, organic ginger root, organic burdock root, stevia leaf, organic mullein leaf, organic clove bud, astragalus root extract, organic black pepper, European elder berry extract (30% anthocyanins), natural cinnamon oil, natural cardamom oil, natural ginger oil. Whew! Lots of good ingredients!

The taste is unusual and hard to define, probably because there are so many interesting ingredients. It is slightly tonic-y but very pleasant. I love all the things that these herbs are purported to do!

I am definitely impressed with Echinacea Immune Support and with Yogi Teas in general. Echinacea Immune Support comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.

Yogi Tea writes this on the box about the tea's benefits: "Echinacea Immune Support tea is a superior blend of several species of Organic Echinacea Root (Echinacea angustifolia, purpurea, pallida) designed to boost your immune system. Each tea bag is made with organic Echinacea Root and Echinacea Root extract, containing the equivalent of 1,400 mg of Echinacea. Health practitioners for centuries have respected the powers of Echinacea, an herb that supports the body's natural defense system by stimulating production of immune system proteins, interferons, that regulate normal immune response. Furthermore, Echinacea supplies certain naturally-occurring plant compounds known as caffeic acid derivatives, including cichoric acid, alkylamides and polysaccharides. These work together to stimulate the body's immune system. The blend is complemented with Astragalus, a stamina-enhancing tonic that also boosts long-term immune function, and European Elder Berry, which is immune-enhancing and supports respiratory function. To support sinus function and promote clear breathing passages, Organic Peppermint and Organic Lemon Grass are included.* Finally, Organic Cinnamon , Organic Fennel, Organic Spearmint, and Organic Rose Hips add a wonderful fragrant essence to this delicious herbal supplement."

There are no cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The box says, "When your immune system seems a bit down, drink 2 to 3 cups per day. For increased immune stimulation, drink 4 to 5 cups per day."

This tea has no caffeine and is entirely herbal.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars i agree, this tea is AWESOME, December 5, 2007

Smeggy (Collingswood NJ) - See all my reviews

I always feel run down & i tend to get sick a lot. But since i've beem drinking this tea i have so much energy & i feel really good. I catch colds a lot & they really knock me on my butt. One day about 2 weeks after i first bought this tea i was getting sniffles & felt extra tired. I thought "here comes another cold". So i had 3 cups of this tea & i actually woke up feeling fine. I drank another cup that day just to be sure, and low & behold i didn't get sick. Believe me i always get sick but NOT THIS TIME! Just some sniffles, nothing i couldn't easily handle. It's really amazing stuff.

By the way the flavor is wonderful. It tastes light & minty sweet. This tea is so good i actually crave it. I wish amazon had a 12 pack deal because i really need to stock up on this stuff!
