    I drink a lot of tea. I grow my own mint to make tea. I grow my own hibiscus flowers to make tea (Althea I'm in zone 8). I also grow cone flower (echineca ?), but do not ingest it, and a wild flower here in TX called "lemon mint" which I plan to try. Do not try for homemade teas unless you are absolutely, positively sure of what you are ingesting. My mother was a botanist. I'm a self-trained/mom trained botanist from her guidance.

    Tea and weight loss: When I was drinking a LOT of sweet tea I gained a bunch of weight. When I limited my sweet tea to 2 cups a day, with less sugar than before, I lost weight. There you have it.
  • Thank you for your reply to this post. I will look for the tea you mentioned : )
  • It's another gimmicky detox. Your body does a good job detoxing for you, you don't need "added help".

    Did you see the list of foods to avoid while taking this stuff?

    * sugars

    * raw fruit (strewed is ok)

    * cold water

    * energy drinks

    * alcohol

    * smoking

    * fruit drinks

    * high chemical foods such as "sugar free, fat free" etc etc

    * chocolates & lollies

    * cakes

    * carbonated drinks

    * peppermint tea

    * fried foods

    * coffee

    * salt

    * ice-creams & flavoured milk

    * pain killers such as Panadol and Neurofen


    So yea.... basically anything a normal person would consume is out. I mean, you can't eat fruit? What the heck. I'd be damned to give up my ice cream too.
    This is just my opinion of course.


    This person didn't research fully. This list is on their "healthy tips" blog section under foods to avoid if you want to get rid of cellulite, not foods you aren't supposed to consume while drinking YourTea.

    I've been doing the 14 day teatox and I have definitely noticed a difference between days I remember to drink it and days I don't. When I do remember, the next morning I wake up with no extra water weight and when I forget I wake up kind of bloated. The only problem with this is that I feel like.... do I have to drink this tea forever now? Because it is kinda expensive... Hmm...

    Hi guys,

    I recently started the teatox (two days ago). I am a fashion blogger and Your Tea offered to sponsor me if I just tried it and wrote about it. The website was really pretty and attractive, the explanations of ingredients and effects looked legit, and the packaging was even awesome. I did the three tea bags the first day, and ate a banana, oatmeal, chicken, kale salad, fresh fruit, lots of water, vegetables with hummus--the normal foods I eat throughout the day. I woke up this morning feeling hung over and when I went to the bathroom I noticed blood. It said on the site that if you take the tea while you're menstruating that it'll be a heavier period because the tea makes your blood thicker?!?! Well I am NOT menstruating and that is NOT normal. Even though the site sends out a good message and is visually appealing, I don't think you should give into this like I did. What I don't understand is how all these women are drinking it and posting before and after pictures and saying they feel so healthy.

    I am not in any pain and after one day of drinking three teas, I already notice my stomach is less bloated...this can't be good for you.

    I am currently a member of Tone It Up (2 years now) and that plan helped me loose 16 pounds by simply working out and eating healthy. I HIGHLY recommend that :)

    If anyone else has tried this tea, please say what it was like! I am curious to see if anyone else had symptoms like me.

    so now you are sponsored by this company because you wrote about it here? Yeah we dont want anything you're selling.

    Tea has caffeine in it which will affect your energy level. Of course so does coffee. Thats all there is to it really. All the "benefits" come from the exercise.

    I tried YourTea to help clear up my skin. After seeing them on Instgram and reading their raving reviews I thought why not? Boy was I wrong. I drank my first cup a few days ago and about 30 minutes after I finshed I broke out with a horrible itchy red rash on my neck. I emailed YourTea about my reaction and they advised it was normal to have "skin breakouts" due to the detox! I don't think that was a normal reaction try an allergic reaction ! It really freaked me out and I haven't been able to drink it sense!

    we dont want anything you're selling either. Sounds like another infomercial.
  • I feel like any company selling tea for 55$ a box had better some pretty incredible tasting/acting tea. That is so absurd! Just drink regular tea, or look up how to make your own detox teas for night time etc. much easier.

    I have just bought some - I am willing to give it a try.

    Not bought in to any gimmicks just curious.

    I cant see how drinking normal tea or coffee would help with health benefits as people have stated above. I have developed cellulite since I started drinking coffee! (still drink it but it is something I have noticed).

    I spoke to someone at Your Tea and they only recommended cutting out alcohol and coffee (which were items I asked them about) and that was my choice if I wanted to get the full benefits of the tea.

    lol, when I made that post, it wasn't under their "cellulite" blog post. It was under healthy tips... and that was IT. There weren't separate "blog posts" or what have you. So they obviously changed it... it's probably part of their gimmick. Whatever. Either you fall for their tricks and keep wasting your money, or you do actual research. Even if it is listed on their cellulite post, the fact that it says to avoid those things at all should be a red flag.

    I hear they call it tiny tea because of its unfortunate side effect on men.

    I have read so many mixed reviews on Teatox's they seem to be all the rage right now. I can honestly say though from reading the news I thought it was all hype (like many of you), but I was proven wrong.

    My favorite of all the "teatox's" is Swami Mami Teas. I lost 29 pounds using both their morning and evening teas, along with eating clean, doing yoga and hiking. The weight dropped off in 12 weeks. I bought the 10 week teatox kit. I now drink the Get Lean tea in the morning, and really do love it.

    They don't use any Senna leaf in their Detox blend, which can cause liver damage and intestinal issues. Their tea is obviously high quality, you can tell right away. They send muslin tea bags to use and reuse everyday which is cool, and more eco friendly than tea bags since you can reuse the same bag for at least 2 weeks.

    My friend turned me on to this company and I have to say I love it. Can't say much about Tiny tea, as I haven't tried it.

    I lost 28 lbs without spending one red cent on their stuff. You don't need it, unless my 28 vs your 29 lbs lost is worth the $99.00 the 10 Day Teatox kit is going for (and I can lose 1 more pound without their products as well).

    29 lbs is a significant achievement and it was the effort and dedication you've put into the eating, yoga and hiking that made it happen, not some overpriced teabags. Give yourself credit for your results, not some magic potion.

    I tried Tiny Tea back in September because I'd heart it could help with bloating and IBS symptoms. I did it for two weeks and nope. Nothing changed.

    Did you read above where one woman said a side effect she experienced was bleeding? Increased menstrual bleeding NOT during her period?

    Why is diet and exercise so scary to people that they choose Vaginal Bleeding Teas instead?

    *Vaginal Bleeding Teas, new band name*

    I doubt that was the tea. I have found my hormones and periods can react to all sorts of things. And my periods arent even real as I am on the pill so that doesn't worry me.

    Mine isnt for diet or exercise either its more for a detox and to see if I can get help with the bloatedness. I have no intention of using it forever I am going to give the 14 days a trial and see what happens. If its rubbish I wont buy again. Its simple!
  • I tried the tiny tea and it doesn't taste really good, but my bloating went away completely and I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks without changing my diet or exercising. However my diet does NOT include soda or ice cream, BUT I did eat a chocolate bar and had a beach day and went to taco bell with my friends so I am definitely a fan of the tea. It never hurts to try something new.

    PS: there isn't any kind of laxative effect which is a plus.

    So your soda and diet calories aren't the same as chocolate bar and taco bell calories?

    okay. That makes perfect sense. Do, by all means, go on. I want to know how they differ... please, enlighten me.

    Peppermint/other mints are very cheap mild appetite suppressants. Shoot, mint is a weed. You could put a little in a pot and grow it in your house and suck on leaves right off the plant (however if you have cats put it out of reach as it's related to catnip and they WILL DESTROY IT).

    And if you have a dog like my dog Petie, he pees on my patch of mint.

    I've heard the no cold water thing before - when my aunt was doing a homeopathic cancer treatment in 2008 she was told not to drink cold water with meals as it slows digestion.
  • Hi, I personally tried the Tiny Tea, 14 day teatox, and I only did it for about a week, because taking the tea 3 times a day, at least for me, was very difficult because of school and the timing before-after the meals. I still have 7 days to go, so approx. 21 packs of tea that I will start taking twice a day starting today. I must say that I didn't see a big difference in MY body whil taking the tea. Maybe it was that my body was already functionning great, or maybe it doesn't have an effect. To be honest I didn't change what I was eating, even though I was careful (generally speaking), about what I was eating, to be healthy and whatnot, not because of the list of things not to eat, which is mostly a RECCOMENDATION LIST to see MAXIMAL RESULTS people. Anyhow, I still liked the tea as its own, with or without the results tied to it.
  • I know that it's a super old post and the original poster probably made their decision a while ago, but I figured I'd throw my two cents in here, as well. I have done two rounds of the 28-day Tiny Tea teatoxes (I stopped at 21 days both times and just drank it as needed for as long as the supply lasted me after that). I definitely didn't see all of the value that they promised, but I definitely didn't follow all of the guidelines, so that would probably explain it. I work out regularly and eat pretty healthy most of the time, but I definitely enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two and allow myself to indulge sensibly on the "bad for me" foods-- this didn't stop when I drank the tea (hence, the lack of "amazing" results).

    I will say that the tea helped IMMENSELY with bloating-- I am a petite person and am in the "normal" weight range (whatever that is), but I've always had a little belly. When drinking the tea, my stomach was the flattest it had ever been. Even when I woke up after a day of crappy eating and felt super bloated, a couple cups of tea would clear that right up. Speaking of clearing up, it really did do wonders for my skin.

    So if you're looking for a magic bullet, this isn't it. If you're looking for something to supplement your already healthy lifestyle and have the money to spend, I'd say it's worth trying out. I experienced zero negative side effects (no runs to the bathroom, no menstrual changes, no growth of extra body parts).

    Hope that helped!
