Yogi Computer De-Stress Tea
Liquid tech support
BY DONALD MAHONEY

  PREVIOUS COLUMNS

Offering spirituality for dummies, Yogi Tea’s mantra of practical cleansing through obscure organic herbs provides a moment’s enlightenment in days otherwise packed with stress, fear, and loathing. Its latest blend, Computer De-Stress Tea, takes its philosophy to a logical end: in these workaday lives, what’s more aggravating, not to mention spiritually deadening, than a daily computer hangover? If computers have become our constant companions at home and in the workplace, their nagging side effects — dulled vision and a stunted attention span — are the psychic equivalent of a spam assault: chronic annoyances. Please heal us, good Yogi.

A soothing, gingery brew, Computer De-Stress is more than a post-work placebo. Its potent blend of kelp and eyebright works gradually to break down the wall of late-afternoon brain fog while easing the tension on our weary eyes. One pot will massage those lingering head swells and put the afternoon squarely in the rear-view. Light and aromatic, Computer De-Stress doesn’t falter in the flavor department, either: a touch of natural peach flavoring helps it easily, and sweetly, down the hatch.

Computers may have become a fact of working life, but the maladies they induce don’t have to be. If the faces of your friends and loved ones are beginning to emit a blue light, it may be time for action. And short of hurling your monitor out the office window, Computer De-Stress tea may be the closest thing we have to a cure-all for those bad computer vibes.

Available for $3.89 at Harvest Co-op, 581 Mass Ave, Cambridge, and 57 South Street, Jamaica Plain. Call (617) 661-1850.
