I bet you all have heard of the 'Tiny Teatox'. It's the most famous brand on instagram I'd say. At least I kept seeing the cute 'Yourtea'-teabags all over the food accounts! And the pink boxes and tea sachets. So when I heard Youtea wanted to send me some of their pretty teas I was so happy and instantly agreed! They kindly sent me the 28 day 'Tiny Tea Teatox', the main aim of which is to cleanse and nourish the digestive system.
Let's start from the beginning. The 'Tiny Tea' comes in a big box with 3x28 sachets, because you are supposed to consume the tea three times a day. 'Tiny Tea' was specifically designed to assist with:
So lets start from how I was before: healthy weight with an BMI of 19, okay skin with some spots from time to time though, big bad bloating and slow digestion. That's me, Lottie ; )

I started my teatox at the beginning of December, which I think is the optimal time for a teatox, because especially during the festive / party season your body does need some cleansing I guess. Well, I'm not such a big partyer and don't even have a lot of cookies or other sweets before christmas, but I don't say no to everything either.
I tried my first tea on a December evening, wanting to replace my usual night tea with it. When I poured it into a mug, my boyfriend came in with a disgusted look on his face asking what smelled like a drunk beggar? Oops, that was the tea. But I have to say, the smell is worse than the taste and after four or five days you totally get used to the taste too!
Anyways, the beginning of my teatox was quite a shock for me - first I experienced a lot of bloating and my forehead was full of spots, help! I wasn't sure what to do so I started researching other reviews and found Sasha 's review where she told about experiencing similar reactions and asking the company about it. They explained that her body was detoxing and so I learned what was happening inside me, too! What a relief!
I was happy I had started the detox two weeks before all the christmas parties started because my forehead really wasn't pretty. But then, a week into the detox, I started feeling the positive effects: a) I'm into week 4 right now and haven't experienced any bloating for WEEKS! For someone like me this is such a relief! b) My skin is as clean as it has never been before. Not a single spot, nowhere to be seen, thus the christmas cookies I'm eating from time to time. c) energy. This is both positive and negative because I feel like it's a bit harder to fall asleep at the moment. d) THIS IS THE MAIN EFFECT: I have lost my appetite and could live only on breakfasts! Oh gosh, this teatox really is working!
Only haven't I lost weight at all even though I eat really healthily and excersize a lot, but then again I have no excess weight either, so why should I? As I said, the tea suppresses hunger and I wouldn't have to eat (at all) but I know that that wouldn't be healthy so of course I keep eating the usual amounts. But I am really sure that this tea would be perfect for people that are actually trying to loose weight!

So, for everyone that doesn't want to read the entire review, here come all the pros and cons in one list.
Pros
One more thing about the tea - I even paused the teatox a week before christmas so I wouldn't sit at the christmas dinner table without any appetite, so strong was the hunger suppression! Perfect for people on a diet I would say, but I won't let it take a way my hunger ; )
I can only recommend this tea to everyone that wants to cleanse her or his system (maybe after all the christmas celebrations) or especially for people that want to loose weight. Yourtea's instagram is full of progress pictures of people doing the teatox and loosing all their excess weight - so go for it!
Pros

- The tea totally suppresses my appetite which would make a diet a lot easier!
- The smell and taste are not very delicious, but you get used to them after a few days.
- After week 3 it started to get hard to remember to drink the tea regularily. In the end I had enough tea for 6 weeks.
