YourTea - Tinyteatox First Impression!

So it's that time again, yet another teatox? Remember when I tried the HealthyMeTea? (Probably not) It's a teatox tea from the Aussie branch "SkinnyMeTea", although YourTea also is a Aussie brand I thought after so many positive reviews about it, I thought I would give it a go.

Also the fact hey had a 20% discount, kind of lured me into the teatox craze once again.


It's a tea blend made by the company "Your Tea", basically a group of friends that made their own teas, saw the results it gave and thought of sharing it with the world - read that off the box I got, but the thought is sweet~ I've heard both high and low about the "Tinytea" their teatox to aid weightloss and de-bloating of your stomach, help restore your clean glowy skin as well; sounds pretty win-win to most of us girls out there. 

It's a herbal Chinese blend consistent of :

Oolang tea, Jue Ming Zi, He Ye, Shan Zha, Lai Fu Zi, Chen Pi, Mai Ya
(contains gluten)

That little added label "contains gluten" is weird, I bought the 28-day Gluten Free Tinytea package, but I won't question it if they say it's gluten free...maybe. 



Anyways! In the SkinnyMeTea, as well as many other "teatox" teas, there's a Morning/day tea &  Evening/Goodnight tea: where in most cases the latter one contains laxative herbs perhaps such as 
- Senna, 

Senna leaves are used in countless of "slimming herbal" teas, mainly because of the laxative effect. It can be very strong and hurt your bowels a lot, so I really hope you guys will be careful! Always be careful with those kinds of products, if you don't care and just go with it you might end up having to rely on the tea to actually..poop. Your bowels won't be able to do it properly by itself, it can be very dangerous!

Not to scare you off by teatoxes cause you never know "how much" of senna leaves they actually use but, just be careful like with most things online or "slimming" products ^0^ /



I was gladly surprised at how fast this company ships their products out, I ordered the 28D GL package on the 24th of September and it was by my door on the 29th (Sept) so basically 5 days; I placed the order at night so it got shipped out the day after. So glad! Great service.




About the box, I love the design. Compared to other companies that just put it in reseal-able bags; be it loose tea leafs, I think this method is much nicer. It looks more professional and clean. Comparing to my SkinnyMeTea experience with the loose tea leafs in a bag it was very troublesome to measure everyday to make sure I had enough for a cup - for the next 14 days. It was just a mess that didn't taste good at all, actually on the first try I gagged so bad I - TMI - threw up in my cup.

I loved how the scent of herbs and I dunno, calmness just oozed out of the box when I opened it. I love opening it just to get a sniff of that scent. (sounding like a lunatic, oops)

I love my tea




I've had a few cups so far, and I would say I enjoy the taste. I wasn't really skeptical on the taste since most of the reviews I stumbled upon was by girls, most likely non-herbal/traditional tea drinking ones, I bet a Chinese wouldn't even think twice about the flavor since they're Chinese herbal blends + they're tea drinkers. 

Over all good first impression! I can't wait to try it out more and see what happens, hopefully my skin and body will welcome it's goodness if not, then..erm, it was the most expensive tea I've ever had. HAHA

Here's the video edition of my FIRST impression (unwrapping and everything)

7 Days - Results

Hey yo there, think it is timeout now!

By timeout I mean, a little closeup progress of the SkinnyMeTea's HealthyMeTea teatox! That's a lot of 'tea's, haha. I have put together a mini collage, as the photoshop expert I am the lies, I don't even have ps LOL Can you spot a difference? I think honestly it's all due to bloating but, perhaps that in itself actually is good too. I noticed an increase of energy, lesser bloated and.. that's about it for now. 

I don't see myself crave or have a 'suppressed appetite' either but, I do eat less mainly because I drink around 8 cups of green mulberry tea in between the morning-evening cup of HealthyMeTea, liquids (water/tea/coffee etc) does fill one up. 

Right side a tad (LOADS) bloated, left side less bloated slightly toned/easier to see stomach :3
Addtional taste update: So I know I said I wasn't going to drink the Acai Tea before after the end of the HealthyMe one, but I did slip maybe 2-3 teabags into my mug and enjoy another tea flavor. Which is 100% better compared to the loose leaf HealthyMe one, ugh got a herb stick from the tea stuck in my throat, little bastard.




The tea has a wonderful taste, berry filled and incredibly sweet, which is surprising based on the smell of it.
I would definitely buy it again, in a freaking heatbeat I would be on their website clicking a battlefield with my fingers, if that even makes any sense. LOL

I'll leave this post at that, I'll do a better review later (rather an actual one,ajaja) here's some screenshots of the video footage I have so far of the video review on it, remember to check it out on my Youtube channel!

Thank you for reading!

Just In! SkinnyMeTea - the Teatox rave

Hello there! 
Just got my SkinnyMeTea package this morning, for those of you that have never heard of SkinnyMeTea don't worry it's not any crazy fad diet or anything. It's a detox tea, so it claims to be, right now I'm 100% sure if it's much more different or sufficient compared to a regular cup of green tea (green tea is super good for you and aids in weight loss). But, I'm ready to give it a try and see if it can kick start a healthy life style as many reviews states click here to read  about it.


I ordered the HealthyMe 14days pack and the Acai Tea pack as well (25 teabags, like a regular teapack) I really wanted to try the SkinnyMe Teatox (14-28 days either one) since that's the one I've heard the biggest rave about but after comparing the 2 I went with the HealthyMe Tea also $5 AUS cheaper lol. I went with the Acai tea cause it has similar effect but supposedly aid in continues weight loss so I thought why not add the $15 on that one. Paid for it on the 10th and arrived just a week later! 7 days, that's probably the fastest I've ever received a package overseas before even I was told it would first arrive 15 days after shipping it out for the postage I give it a big+ the letter/package was sealed closely and save, nothing seemed bad at first glance

A little of it had tumbled out of the sealed teabags

Comes with a slip of paper (disclaimer) that there's no tampering nor things added to the tea, 100% healthy etc
SkinnyMe Acai Tea, HealthyMe Tea, Disclaimer paper



SkinnyMe Acai Tea
SkinnyMe Açaí tea may help: (I like how they added the 'may' and yes I highlighted it)
  • Aid weight loss 
  • Counteract fat storage & help in the conversion of fat to energy (burn fat)
  • Aid digestion
  • Antioxidant properties (detoxify & fight free-radicals)
  • Promote skin health
  • Improve cellular health
  • Boost energy levels
  • Improve concentration (Oh, well let's see about that

For maximal results we suggest using SkinnyMe Açaí tea in conjunction with a SkinnyMe teatox (14 or 28days). Consume the tea the middle of the day (between the morning loose leaf and the night time colon cleanse).

 - Taken from their website.
It comes with 25 teabags, they smell a bit funky kinda as if they were burned or roasted in some weird way but, not everything that smells good taste good so we'll see, heard that it's quite delicious so hopefully I'll enjoy itWhat annoys me a little bit is when companies like these/health always suggest maximal results or better ones comes if you basically spend more money and buy more ._. 
Is it a sin to be cheap on a budget but still wanting to be healthy ?
But I love tea
 " (use at your discretion, we recommend 1-3 tea bags per day) can be infused as many times as you like (or until the water is no longer coloured). " 

So hopefully I can re-use them again & again, great!

I'll be reviewing the Açaí Tea later on after I'm done with my 14 day HealthyMe tea



The instructions are on the backside of this little card
 HealthyMe Tea
HealthyMe tea may help: (Again 'may' help)
  • Assist in weight loss
  • Cleanse & detoxify
  • Suppress appetite & control cravings
  • Regulate blood sugar levels reducing sugar cravings
  • Assist in the digestion of fats and sugar
  • Increase metabolism
  • Improve skin health
- Taken from their website.

Funny how it sounds almost exactly like the Açai tea..But, anyhow! 

Ingredients:
Oolong Leaf, Sencha Green Tea, Yerba Mate, Dandelion Leaf, Ginseng Leaf, Lemon Grass, Celery Leaf, Nettle Leaf, Goji Berries (Fresh & Powdered), Açai Powder. 
Taste:HealthyMe tea tastes light and fresh. The addition of celery leaf gives it a fresh, clean taste that is balanced by the citrus of the lemongrass and the sweetness of the goji berries. The green tea adds a sharp flavour and smooth dimension. 
That doesn't sound all too awful. To be honest I've been living my life on a herbal tea called "Fitné" it's a thai brand, but basically it's a laxative tea I didn't put much effort into researching the effects/side effects of drinking senna leaves.. I would say if you ever come across the tea, it does do wonders but, long term use it'll only hurt you, your body will NEED it to poop, yes it needs the senna leaves and without it you could end up with no bowl movement for days. I ended up not doing no.2 for 7 days, and no that's not normal. Use those products with care, it's a short term deal, your body can't rely on those things, rely on yourself that's all you really need. And food, food is important and good
I'm planning on doing a Youtube review of it as well, kinda like a process, I will be eating healthy and do light exercise along with drinking these teas to see if they do AID/ASSIST in weight loss and see how my skin will react, if bloating will go down or if I tone up, how I feel about cravings if it truly does suppress my appetite (cause boy I need that!), I'll come back to it in about 16-20 days from now on (I need to prepare myself, LOL)
Sorry for the boring blog post! 
Thanks for reading though
