Tiny Tea Review


Hello lovelies! So I recently bought the 14 day Tiny Tea Teatox and I thought I'd share with you how I found it. 





THE PRODUCT - This tea is designed to nourish and cleanse your digestive system. This cleanse or 'teatox' will assist with easing bloating, increasing digestion functionality, improving skin clarity, reducing weight, increasing energy levels and alleviate issues associated with food intolerances. This tea is formulated with Chinese medicinal herbs and is the only herbal cleanse on the market that does not produce a laxative effect. 

DELIVERY - The delivery for this was very fast, with it arriving in a few days after ordering. The 14 day teatox cost £20 and there was an additional postage cost.

PACKAGING - I was very happy when I opened the box and saw this super cute package inside! It is a cardboard box with cute pink prints on it and the packets of tea are also really pretty.

INSTRUCTIONS - You are advised to drink 3 cups of tea a day to help carry out the cleanse. They are to be consumed 30 minutes prior to eating but can also be drank 30 minutes after eating. It is advised to steep the tea bag in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.

TASTE - I found this to have quite an earthy taste, which isn't that bad but wasn't my favourite. It is not a sweet tea, and if you don't like the taste of tea I wouldn't really recommend it. It is suggested that you can add honey and/or lemon to it which I found to make it taste much better and actually quite nice. 

MEAL PLAN - The YourTea website provides an optional meal plan that you can find here. This provides a list of meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for 14 days whilst you carry out your teatox and if you choose a longer one I guess you would repeat meals. I personally didn't follow this plan as I thought it may be a lot of work sticking to these meals and instead I just stuck to my own healthy eating plan. 

TIMING - YourTea advises drinking the tea 30 minutes before or after eating. This made me much more conscious about eating times which I guess is a positive. I had to plan what times I would be eating so that I could have my tea half an hour before and so on. Some negatives of this is that I found it quite awkward to stick to, especially if I had to go out somewhere or I was out for lunch, I'd have to come home and catch up later which wasn't the best. I also found that it was difficult to drink in the morning. Having this before my breakfast left me feeling hungry whilst waiting 30 minutes but having it after my breakfast just made it feel quite pointless but that might just be me. I chose the 14 day option, but there is also a 28 day option. I thought the two week option was perfect and personally I think it would be hard to stick to for longer than I did. 

SIDE EFFECTS - On the YourTea website it says that you can experience minor skin breakouts or an upset stomach for the first few days, due to the nature of the cleanse. I did not experience any of these personally so I am lucky but I have seen that some people have. 

RESULTS - I found that I had a much flatter stomach after drinking this. I didn't realise that my stomach was actually bloated and it helped to reduce this really well. I also had much clearer skin and so much more energy. It does not cause weight loss by itself but assists it and having all this energy meant I was more active and enjoyed going to the gym more. I did lose weight and I felt my stomach was much flatter. I also experienced a huge reduction in cravings for bad food whilst drinking the tea and didn't feel that hungry during the day. I didn't gain the weight that I'd lost when I stopped which was really good and it's just left me feeling much better.  

OTHER PRODUCTS - The tea I tried was directly aimed at weight loss but YourTea makes a lot of different teas with different properties depending on what you want the tea for. This includes Her Tea, Man Tea, Anti-C Tea and others you can see here.

I'd definitely recommend this to others if you are looking to lose weight or maybe just reduce bloating and help your digestive system out a little bit. I was lucky that it helped my body and I didn't experience any of the side effects but everyone is different and just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for everyone so please remember that. 

Have you tried tiny tea or any other type of weight loss tea? Do you think it's worth it?

  6. I'm so glad Ive stumbled across this review! I've been thinking about getting this for ages but keep seeing mixed reviews - I think I'm going to get it next payday but I may chicken out again. I'm impressed that you didn't re-gain the weight you lost as that is a big fear for me! I don't want to be on tiny tea for the rest of my life! hahhaa

    1. It's really good for reducing bloating! I didn't really think of that when I ordered it but I didn't realise how bloated I actually was! xx
