[Review] YourTea.com Tiny Tea Teatox System

Wednesday, January 14, 2015

So I'm finally posting about my experience using the Yourtea Tiny Tea Teatox System. I posted about this when I first started a while ago, but just got to posting my video/website review about it now! I had to postpone posting them because of the 12 HoliDAYS of Beauty on The Beauty Breakdown Channel! Don't forget to read my first impressions of the tea! Anyways here are my thoughts!


What the program is... 

The Teatox I did was the 14 day one. You're supposed to drink the tea 3 times a day for 2 weeks 30 minutes before or after your meal. The box comes with a set of instructions that details this, but that's the jist of it.

The tea is specifically designed to help with: bloating, indigestion, problematic skin, cellulite, increase energy, reduction of excess weight, and increase energy.

For more information and FAQ, visit their website! It's more thorough with the information they provide!

You can see the instructions included in the box of tea below. 

Ingredients....
The ingredients of this tea are listed on the website and on the back of the box. It contains all natural Chinese Herbal medicine, and it's actually gluten free!


Now for my experience...
Taste...
I honestly had some mixed reviews about the taste. If you've ever tried Chinese herbal medicine or really any type of Asian herbal medicine, it tastes fairly similar to that! It's kind of hard to explain it any other way, but I guess you could say it definitely has that "natural" taste. Now for me, it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't super delicious. I started having an issue with the taste simply because I was getting tired of drinking the same tea, 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I ended up adding some lemon or honey just to change it up! 


Side Effects....
Unfortunately, I did experience some side effects. The main side effect I experienced was some nausea. Luckily, it wasn't too mad. It was more annoying than anything. I was describe it as mild nausea. I experienced this about day 3 or 4 and it only last for a day or two.  I also mentioned in my first impressions that I had a little bit of a headache the first day or so but that could've just been a coincidence. After that, it was smooth sailing! 

Benefits...
This may seem kind of odd, but the main benefit I experienced from drinking this tea was the psychological effect. I know, sounds crazy. But the idea that I had to drink the tea 30 minutes before practically every meal forced me to plan out what I was going to eat and make a conscious decision to choose something healthy. For me, that made it worth it. Plus, I did feel "lighter". I didn't lose any weight however (my weight fluctuates a little bit anyways). I did notice my bloating went down a little bit in my tummy area, which could've been the tea or my improved diet. Either way, I'm not complaining!


Overall....
I enjoyed this Teatox and loved the benefits from it! The only thing I would change about it is I wish they offered different flavors in the pack! But since this is the first time I'd tried something like this, I would say my experience overall was a positive one! :)

First Impressions: Starting my 14 Day YourTea.com Tiny Tea TeaTox

Thursday, November 13, 2014

Hi gems! :) Recently, I was contacted by Yourtea.com to see if I would be interested in doing one of their TeaTox programs. Of course, I said yes because I've never tried one of these programs before and I'm also on the lookout for new and different ways to add healthy fixes to my life! I just received the box of tea yesterday and wanted to give you a first impressions of what I think of the tea so far. Officially, this is my second day, so I'm just giving a brief explanation of what my goals are and what I think of the tea so far :)

Disclaimer: I was sent the product, but the views and opinions I express are completely my own. I am, in no way, influenced by the company to post in a particular way. Just to let you know :)


So first off, they sent me their 14 Day Tiny Tea Teatox. This program costs $35 on their website. Here's a quick breakdown of what this is specifically supposed to do.

Ingredients: oolong tea, jue ming zi, he ye, shan zha, lai fu zi (Chinese herbal ingredients)

Directions: My teatox came with 42 packets of tea bags. Since this is a 14 day program, you're supposed to drink the tea 3 times a day, 30 minutes before or after a meal. 

What it's supposed to do:
 In a nutshell, what this teatox is supposed to do is aid digestion, balance the body, and restore digestion. On the website, it does say that it will can help you lose weight, but technically this is not what the tea is designed to do. Essentially, this would be good for someone who is looking to reboot and restore your body. 

What makes this tea unique: According to the website, the main difference between this teatox and other teatox is it doesn't have a laxative effect. Therefore, you can confidently complete this program without having to worry about it inhibiting your daily lifestyle (aka no running to the bathroom every 5 seconds!)



For any other questions or information, please be sure to check out their website! They have a very thorough explanation of how the teatox works and how it can affect your body. 



Sorry for the blurry photo -_-


Now, I want to discuss my experience with the teatox so far! 

Taste: Ok, this is where I'm a little "if-y". I do like tea, but I actually prefer coffee over tea (If that's any implication as to what my tastes are like). And this tea does have a very "herbal" taste to it. If you have any experience with Chinese or Korean herbal medicines, I would liken the taste to that except very mild. So if you don't like that "natural" taste, I would definitely drink this with lemon or honey. If you don't like tea.... then why are you reading this?? (haha I'm kidding of course.. )


Smell: Again, it has a very natural smell. If you've ever smelled any type of Asian herbal medicine, or gone into a store that has natural asian medicine, it smells just like that!


Side Effects: So far, I've drank 4 of these teas (I started yesterday). I did experience a headache last night, but that's gone away. I don't know if this has anything to do with the teatox specifically, but I haven't experienced much yet (Hey, it's still the 2nd day!)


Anyways, let me know if you've ever done a tea tox! I'll keep you updated on my experience so please check back or check my Youtube Channel, The Beauty Breakdown, as I will be doing a video about it when I finish!

Wanna see the final results??
