How does this compare to other Essiac Teas?

I use it for inflammation that causes acne (as recommended by a health food store owner). Using other Essiac teas calmed my skin right down (when previously only topical creams and antibiotics would work). This worked just as well as those, for a LOT less money.

Hey Doug, I haven't tried anything premade. With this product (the directions are on the package) you basiclly make your own tea and there is enough product to make over 2 gallons of tea in each package. I have been plauged with skin cancer for over 30 years and it is almost completely eradicated ofter 3 months use. In addition to drinking it I also wipe it directly on my face. Really like a miracle. I also got my emotions under control because the cancer always got worse when I was upset. Good luck buddy. Joe

This is an excellant tasting tea. It has a mild flavor & didn't brew up real stong or bitter.

As far as price goes, this is the lowest priced. I have not tried any others, but have just placed a re-order for this brand. Reviews of the product and Starwest Botanicals are mostly favorable. Still too soon to determine how helpful it has been. I have prostate cancer, and have been on Lupron for nearly a year. PSA at 0.1. Hopefully I will get off Lupron in FEB of2014. If PSA stays down after that, I will give Essiac the credit. We'll see.

I haven't tried London Cuppa or Yorkshire Gold, but its stronger and richer compared to PG Tips. I like a strong cup of tea so this is my tea of choice. Hope that helps :)

It's not the exact same powder since there are different brands, but it is close enough for me to enjoy it every day. Give it a try, if you don't like it, most venders will let you return it. If you do like it, my advice is to buy a few at a time on your next purchase to save on shipping costs. I really love this green tea cold or hot.

To my recollection, they are the same type of instant tea with Korean origin. I've savored several of these, but Prince of Peace has the best flavor and gives me excellent energy!

I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now. I have fibromyalgia and the tea seems to lessen my pain. It was gradual but I noticed the difference in a short amount of time. Also, befor taking the tea I had blood work done and my blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and everything was so out of whack! After 3 months of taking this tea, I had to have more blood work done and all of my blood work came back perfect! My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was just drinking my essiac tea. So...in answer to your question, don't know if it is the from canada but it works for me. I just ordered another bulk bag. I wish I could be of more help. I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now.

I used/triedthis tea a few months ago, at the time researched the ingredients,however it details them on the package clearly and i do not recall exactly. It is mild to the system(for me) and was nicely packaged...and worked ok..but expensive for what i hoped/felthow it would work..1-10 (i give it a 4) likely will not pay so much for Tea!

Hi Molly, They are the same with the exception that the SGS Version I get has 230mg from Broccoli Seed Extract and 30 mg from SGS where as the ES concentrate provides 100 mg. The ES is a bit more costly as well. My nutritionist recommended the SGS version for me so that seems to work. I also found another equally as good that provides 60 mg of SGS by the name of BrocColinate Extra Strength 120 cps that i use now - sending well wishes , Peg

Hi! This yacon syrup is thicker than many others, therefore it has more calories (albeit a very small amount). It is sweeter and more concentrated and has a higher concentration of FOS inulin fiber in it, which makes it a thicker, more viscous liquid. This is a good thing if your goal is to maximize FOS content, which benefits digestion, probiotic health and also boosts metabolic rate. It's also ideal for cooking if you choose to use this as a natural sweetener in cookies or desserts, since a little goes a long way. Many also rate the thicker yacon syrups to have a better taste since they are more concentrated. These types of products tend to have an overall negative effect calorie wise, meaning that ingesting them up a certain amount can actually take more calories to utilize and have an overall negative caloric affect. So if you consume a teaspoon which is 13 calories, it might take 4 calories to fire up your digestive system to process these calories and it may also boost your metabolism by 4 calories and improve your gut health so that other meals are better absorbed and digested (nutrient utilization from increased probiotic activity). You may also feel better and become more active from improved gut health, etc. so don't focus too much on the calories because they are quite insignificant when this is mainly FOS inulin fiber with so many other benefits! These are just estimates and everybody's body is different, but I'm using them to help illustrate that calories in don't always equal calories out with certain macros.

My personal opinion.....I like Dandy blend better. There's a certain after taste with Teechino for me. I have tried may flavors. I am just not a fan :-/ Dandy blend is smoother and even a little frothy. much better, especially with Stevia

Have never tried Lyons Original Blend Tea, but Yorkshire Gold is FAR superior to Earl Grey Tea. It is very mild and mellow. We are not interested in looking further for another brand. Shopped around thru others for a while but NONE compare to Yorkshire Gold in our opinion, especially in the morning with ginger cookies or raisin/cinnamon bread.

For flavor alone, Yorkshire Gold cannot be beaten (Assam, Kenyan and Rwandan blend). The taste is far superior to the Twinings Irish or English Breakfast tea. Be warned that it it strong and refreshing. I buy the teabags and the leaves are broken and crushed (I opened one to look inside for you). You can buy loose tea instead of bags if you prefer and that would likely be bigger parts of the leaves. They won't be whole because the leaves become brittle as they dry. Asian tea has larger leaves.

I think the taste is the same. I am hook on this tea! We bought the tea bags type but, the strength and taste was not as good.

I do like seche vite better, but it always gets too thick to finish the bottle. Essie does a the job, just not as well as seche.

Im not sure. We have 5 people drinking the tea so we probably go through it a little faster than others (It has been about 2 months). Also, tt takes fine, but it does taste a little different than the normal Earl Grey tea.

It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me. It worked on cold sores and that was it. I wasn't impressed. On an impulse I decided to give another thieves brand a try. EdenS Garden DID work. I used for head congestion and coughing. 4 drops in a diffuser and 2 drops in 1 tblsp.grapeseed oil rubbed on chest and wrists....knocked it out. I like this 4 thieves better BECAUSE it has more lemon and eucalyptus than clove ( like YL). Clove is an angalesic which is great for numbing. For me the proof is in the pudding. EGs smelled a little differently yes....but it's the one that is effective and works for me against the one that does nothing for me. It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me.
