Question 1

16 tea bags in each pack?  And I would get 6 packs total? for a total of 96 tea bags?  Is that correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I received 6 boxes with 16 tea bags each.

Question 2

Can pregnant women drink it?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women to drink this tea.  Although it did not explain why, Mayo Clinic, recommended to avoid any herbal teas during pregnancy (Mayo Clinic, 2011).  I took a look at my box of Yogi Bedtime tea right now and beneath the nutrition label, it has "WARNING: Consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication or if you have a medical condition."  I will also add that within the ingredient list, St. John's Wort Leaf and Flower is in the tea and it is known to be very incompatible with many common medications (i.e., antibiotics, blood thinners).  As a student in the healthcare field, many women have asked me similar questions during their appointments with me and I also advise against it.  Just because something is "organic" does not mean it is safe.  There are no standard regulation of these herbs and its relative supplements, and we are not sure  how standardize the packaging and processing of each ingredient within the tea is.  It is measured by mg but each bag does not come standardized with a specific preset of milligrams of a certain herb.  I think it's all thrown in a batch, mixed well, and then packaged from a large mixture.  Herbs also are chemicals and therefore act like chemicals - just like a medication.  Herbs can also cause side effects and those with sensitivities or allergies may find themselves with a rash or feeling sick from it.  We also just don't have enough research stating the conclusive facts about its long term safety and efficacy.  With pregnancy on board, taking this tea that has so many ingredients also make it difficult for your healthcare professional to decipher what would be the causative agent of someone's ailment - let alone what do about it should an ailment occur.  There are other options for something warm and soothing to drink (i.e., hot water + lemon + honey, hot cocoa, warm milk).  If it is trouble sleeping, vitamin B6 + Unisom (which is basically Benadryl (aka diphenhydramine)) is one of two options I know of that is a common first-step-alternative to prescribe for insomnia related to pregnancy.  You should send a message to your healthcare professional to get the best advice on how to proceed with her insomnia though as everyone must be treated individually and have a certain medical background that may contradict her from having something as simple as Vitamin B6 + Unisom.  Unfortunately, sleeping issues related to pregnancy is common (i.e., abdominal girth discomfort, back pain) and usually go away after delivery.  Good luck.  I hope this helps some.Reference:  Mayo Clinic. (2011). Pregnancy week by week. Retrieved from http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy-nutrition/PR00109/NSECTIONGROUP=2

Question 4

Does this tea taste sweet?  I bought another variety of Yogi tea and it was so sweet that no one in my family would drink it.
