Yoga Tea: When and How to Sip for a Calmer Routine

Quick answer

Drink Yoga Tea either 20-30 minutes before your practice to settle in, or right after to wind down. Steep one tea bag in water just off the boil for 3-5 minutes, and treat it as a caffeine-free cup you can repeat in the evening.

What is actually in Yoga Tea?

Udyan Tea's Yoga Tea is built around chamomile, with subtle floral notes and a minty aroma. The catalog also lists light vegetal undertones, which is why the cup reads soft rather than sweet. Chamomile is the ingredient doing most of the work here: it is the warmth you feel as the cup cools slightly, and it is what makes the blend feel suited to slower moments rather than a morning jolt.

Should you drink it before or after yoga?

Both work, but they do different jobs. Before practice, a small cup 20-30 minutes ahead gives the chamomile time to register without leaving you too full for forward folds or twists. After practice, a full mug is the better move: it pairs with the cooldown and gives you a reason to sit still for ten minutes instead of jumping straight back into your day. If you practice in the evening, the after-practice cup is usually the one people keep.

How do you brew it so it stays calm, not bitter?

Use water just off the boil, roughly 90-95°C, and steep for 3-5 minutes. Chamomile and floral blends go bitter when they sit too long, so set a timer the first few times rather than guessing. One tea bag per 200-250 ml is a good starting ratio; if you want a stronger cup, add a second bag for the last minute instead of steeping the first one for eight. For iced Yoga Tea, brew it double strength, cool it, then pour over ice so the flavor does not wash out.

Is Yoga Tea caffeine free?

The catalog describes Yoga Tea as a chamomile-led blend with floral and minty notes, not a camellia sinensis tea, so it is the kind of cup you can drink in the evening without watching the clock. That matters if your yoga practice is after work or before bed. If you are sensitive to herbs generally, start with one cup and see how you feel rather than making it your only evening drink on day one.

Where does Yoga Tea fit if you already have a tea shelf?

It is a single-purpose cup, which is either the point or the problem depending on your routine. If you already drink a morning green tea or an English breakfast, Yoga Tea does not replace that; it sits in the evening slot. If you want to explore more than one blend, Udyan Tea's Tea Discovery Pack includes six handcrafted blends in 120 pyramid tea bags total, so you can compare Yoga Tea against other styles without committing to a large tin of one. The Multivariety Tea + Brewing Essentials pack goes the other direction, pairing two teas with brewing gear for people who want the setup handled in one order.

Yoga Tea quick answers

How much should I drink before practice?

Keep it to a small cup, about 150 ml, 20-30 minutes before you start so you are not too full for twists. Full mug after practice, small cup before.

Can I re-steep the same bag?

Chamomile-led blends fade quickly. A second steep at 4 minutes will be lighter and more floral, not stronger. If you want a stronger cup, add a fresh bag instead.

Does it need milk or sweetener?

The catalog profile is floral and minty with vegetal undertones, so milk tends to flatten it. Try it plain first. Add honey only if the floral note reads too soft for you.

What if I do not have a thermometer?

Boil the water, then let it sit for about a minute before pouring. That lands close to the 90-95°C range. A one-minute rest after boiling is the simple version.

Product facts
