Is it supposed to help lose weight? I need to lose those stubborn last 15 pounds and wonder if it would help…

Morgana Don’t fall into the hype of the name. Any calorie free beverage has the potential to help you loose weight if you drink it instead of drinking/eating something high in fat, calories, carbs, etc. Caffeine also helps you burn more calories. But this is no miracle tea and it bugs me that they try to pass it off as such.

Morgana- Pu erh and oolong are both suppose to help boost your metabolism and help with digestion you can mix the two any number of ways but the marketing is somewhat deceiving by Teavana which I do agree with Cofftea (in that it is not a miracle tea) However I do own this tea and drink it daily and it maybe all in my mind but it does curb my appetite but so do my other teas containing puerh and oolong.

All teas have awesome health benefits, but I’ve read that Pu-erh and oolong are especially potent, like SoccerMom said. Cofftea is also right; it’s marketed as the only tea out there to help with weight, when in reality all teas can help you. So my advice is just to go with whatever tea tastes best to you : )

Plain water w/ lots of ice is even said to help because you burn calories to warm yourself up… but who wants to drink plain water?;)

See, this tea sounds good, but I don’t need to lose weight! Oh the predicament =P
