Those who have been readers for a while
will know that I’m a big tea person. I’ll probably have less than 5 coffees a
year but I drink a cup of tea everyday – usually much more than one! If you haven’t
noticed I’m also pretty obsessed with instagram, so obviously I noticed the
YourTea account as it gained more and more popularity. I had to give it a try. Looking at the Your Tea website I decided on the Tiny Tea 28 day pack (there is also a 14 day pack available). I wasn’t hoping to lose weight or anything, mostly just achieve a nice light
feeling and a bit of a detox – plus trying new tea is always fun! I’m told the
Tiny Tea teatox can be used by people who a) desire a detox alongside exercise & healthy eating, b) those who are
overweight who want to lose weight – though will also be exercising and eating
healthy, and c) for digestive purposes or to gain energy. So I guess I fell
into the later category even though I do exercise and eat healthy too
(sometimes) – but I mostly wanted to gain energy and continue regular
digestion.
So when my tea arrived, my first impression
of the sweetly packaged product was that it smelt just as sweet! I loved the
smell and I think it tastes just like it smells – so that’s a big plus for a
detox tea. When I started drinking the tea (recommended 3 a day) I did
experience a little bit of an upset tummy for a couple days – however the
website says that this indicates that the tea is performing changes and can be
totally normal. So if you d try it and experience this too, don’t fear! Once
you get over those first days it gets much better. In the beginning it was hard
for me to keep up a regular routine due to events and meetings I was attending
so at one point I decided to stop and start again at a better time. So
personally, I would recommend planning out your teatox ‘calendar’ with care –
just to make sure you’re able to stick to the plan and ultimately benefit from
the Tiny Tea teatox. Perfect for someone with a regular routine (for example,
those who have a regular lunch break at work). Luckily, I was able to find time
to continue my teatox anyway!
While using the TinyTeatox there were a few
things I noticed. I found I had a good amount of energy (tick) but I made sure
to not push myself when running just in case. If you feel like a change
throughout the day, mix it up with a touch of honey or some lemon. Sometimes I
would have a tea with honey in the morning, a tea with lemon after lunch and a
plain tea just before dinner. Also I found my skin was really clear – which is
always a bonus! So for those that want to give a nice, healthy tea a try but a
bit scared about a teatox, I think the Tiny Tea Teatox by Your Tea would be a
great introduction! It is very gentle on your body, perfect for those with a
daily routine and tastes lovely. If you’ve tried it too I’d love to hear your
personal experience in the comment section. Happy weekend!
