im goingto give this one another chance but at first taste i dont love it. Could be the ginger and as some people have mentioned the smell is not awe inspiring.
i love this tea.. I drink it every morning mixed with the Le Digestive tea.. :) makes my tummy very happy

nice orange citrus fragrance to this tea. i’m interested to see how it tastes, as i love my ginseng & ginger tea from Silk Road. i can only imagine it would get better with some added oolong and orange.
hmm. that’s interesting. there’s a flavour i can’t place that isn’t very pleasant. i really hate to say it, but it reminds me of the smell of breakfast sausages cooking. so weird!
regardless, not a fan. gave the rest of my cup to my brother. he likes lapsang souchong, so ‘meat teas’ as we call them are no problem for him, hahah
This is good, but you have to be in the mood for the mandarin orange flavour. I pretty much rotate between The Skinny and Ginger Pu’erh as my after-lunch teas.
Great tea! Very calming, in both scent and taste. Really makes me feel better after eating a larger meal.
I’m all about the organic, but it keeps me from the “oh no, what have I eaten” moments. Therefore it’s amazing!
Is there something wrong with my taste buds? This has to be one of the best teas that David’s offers. Compared to their fragrant ones like Forever nuts, etc. this one’s so fresh and invigorating. Whereas their other teas tend to leave a “sticky” flavour in your mouth this one just snaps off and hits the spot! Ahahaah ;)
This tea is pretty good. Very citrusy, and I can really taste the ginseng and ginger in it. I find it odd (especially for an oolong/pu’erh based tea) that this one doesn’t re-steep very well – I find that you get only one really good infusion for it which is too bad. :(
Whenever a best seller is online, it makes me want to purchase some tea. Smelling it from the tin I thought it was really good because of the sweet ginger aroma. Unfortunately this tea was a miss for me. I found that the pu’erh tea was way too overpowering and that I could not taste anything.
Well, I’ve only had a few brews of this, but I’m not sure whether I like this or not. I don’t dislike it though. It’s on the mild side, I think. I like ginger, orange, and oolong, but I am not sure I like the orange and ginger together. I think I might like this as an iced tea though.
This tea is the tea i really wanted to like. My cousin lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks but of course he worked out a bit too. I just cant like this tea. I find the taste is very strong. i dont like ginger at at so i gaged when i first smelled it. I truly wanted to like this tea though.
Smells strongly of ginger, let’s hope it soothes my throat a little.
First steep: I find I have a really hard time even motivating myself to drink this, but today my throat is hoarse and my taste buds are off. I suppose, that might be the only way I can tolerate this tea… I have to be ill.
Second steep: Upping the rating slightly… the flavours blend together a bit more with this steep, which makes the overall cup much more pleasant.
This tea isn’t to bad but not as tasty as the more flavorful ones. It does the trick
Was very surprised by how much I like this tea! This is my go to tea when I want something simple and i usually end up drinking about two cups of this a day! A nice citrus flavor with something else I can’t put my finger on.
Tastes like orange/citrus drink. Definitely a flavour not everyone will like, because I think it’s kind of unusual and I’m not sure what to think about it. I’m drinking it right now. It’s okay I guess… it’s fairly pricy. I was told it was good for weight loss from a friend. I think it’s just the placebo effect but I do find myself fuller and less likely to eat when drinking the tea. Maybe it’s just me.
I honestly can’t stand how this tea tastes. I’m not really a big fan of tea, so maybe that’s why…but it seems to be working on the “skinny” front. So i’ll keep drinking it, even though I dont like it
I am trying to finish up the 50g bag of The Skinny tea that I bought last year. I really don’t enjoy the taste of this tea, it reminds me of dishwater and I see someone else below has made that comparison as well so I don’t feel so bad, but I feel as though it has some great health benefits so I will perservere. So I decided to add some of the spearmint tea to it to see if it make it taste better but it did not, now it just tastes like minty dishwater :) One of my friends suggested sprinkling some cinnamon into it so I will try that next time.
This is the tea I was most excited about getting from DAVIDs Tea. And I am not dissapointed in it at all. The Citrus scent is wonderful when opening the package and continues while steeping. I am not getting a strong hit of ginseng but am enjoying the ginger flavour. I think this may also be a great tea for when I am not feeling 100%.
This is one of the 3 teas in my regular office lineup. I drink this after a heavy lunch or on those days when I need some calm for my tummy. I love the ginger and citrus notes. I’ve even gotten some of my coworkers trying and buying this tea. When I travel, I usually bring this tea and the Organic Pu’erh Ginger (DavidsTea) to help with digesting the different foods and to curb the travel nausea.
I usually fill a tea bag up with about 3 tsp and use the same tea bag for 3 steepings throughout the day.
Pretty good cup of tea; I would only drink it after a meal though. I like a cup of tea with LOTS of flavour and The Skinny is really just a health tea in my opinion. A tasty health tea, but still a health tea.
