Hi Everyone,
That title’s a bit of a mouthful, but I wanted to show you guys my new venture which is part of the healthy body=healthy mind mantra I’m trying to adopt. Drinking tea is a relatively new thing for me. When I was in my teens I really disliked the taste, and quite frankly the concept of tea; it seemed to me to be a very ‘old person’ thing to do, and why drink tea when you could drink Lilt? Unexpectedly, I became a twenty-something who thoroughly enjoys a nice cup of tea morning, noon or night. It all of a sudden became a very soothing, wholesome thing to do that gives me a satisfied centering for a brief five minutes. Since becoming a tea drinker I’ve tried quite a number, from your bog standard English breakfast tea to green teas, to delightful fruity summer berry teas, but the world of tea is vast and I have only just dipped my toe into the infinite possibili-teas (ho-ho). With this in mind, whilst I was flipping through various blogs and beauty and health websites I came across Your Tea.
Your Tea
Your Tea is pretty much a self explanatory company. They offer a tea delivery service, which you can have a look at here. The website claims that they are, inherently, tea lovers. They offer a large variety of teas that are derived from Traditional Chinese Medicinal principles, that claim to have various effects. These range from Hangover Tea, Sleep Tea, Breast Tea (for breastfeeding mothers, in case you were wondering), Tiny Tea (which I chose) and a whole host in between.
What on Earth is Tiny Tea?
Essentially, it’s a herbal tea. The Tiny Tea product is delivered as a “teatox” for either 14 or 28 days. According to Your Tea, it is an organic tea blend that will nourish and gently cleanse your digestive system. It also claims to reduce bloating, remove toxins, improve energy levels and “nudge” away any surplus weight. So, I know what you’re thinking.. this must be made from unicorn tears. But no, herbs. Lovely, herby goodness.
My experience so far
After reading everything about this teatox, and also reading some reviews from various chuffed customers, I decided to go for the 28 day teatox. My reasoning behind this was that I figured, if you ordered the 28 day one, then you could split the teas in two and do two 14 day teatoxes if you wanted to, or stick with one 28 day teatox. Also, that way, it would be cheaper than ordering two separate 14 day teatoxes.
For your reference, the 14 day teatox is £20 and the 28 day is £31 (they also offer a gluten free version, which is the same price – as an aside to this, who knew there was gluten in herbs?!) I was pleased as punch at checkout to see that shipping was free, and they also deliver worldwide.
Shipping was absurdly fast; I ordered this on the 18th May and it had been delivered by the 20th. Excellent service!
When it arrived I couldn’t get over the amazing packaging of this product. It comes like this:
Such a lovely box 🙂

About Tiny Tea
Little pink gems
As you can see from the brochure image about Tiny Tea, the idea is that you drink one tea half an hour before eating, three times a day. It couldn’t be any simpler! But, the most important question, how does it taste? I was concerned about the taste, because when I opened the box there was such a fragrant smell that came out of it, and I was starting to get worried that I’d ordered 84 of the world’s worst perfume tea. Fortunately, it’s really quite tasty. It’s not a strong taste at all, and I’m sorry to say that I can’t compare it to anything else to give you a sense of the taste. But it’s very light, very easy to drink, and even just a touch of sweetness to it as well. Really enjoyable, especially if you like herbal teas anyway.
I think I’ll do an update on this teatox in a couple of weeks and let you know how it’s working etc. So do let me know if you’d be interested in that. Also I’d love to hear if you’ve tried this teatox, or anything like it, so be sure to leave your comments below 🙂
Thanks so much for reading, and pop back again soon!
