I'm not sure what to write about this tea being that it's a consumable item; but I will give my opinion of it in categories I've chosen to break this review down.Here goes-Method of Preparation/Taste-This tea has one of the lightest tastes of any tea I've tasted thus far. Whilst it doesn't have a strong herbacious flavor or a strong brew, it has enough flavor to recognize it as tea. A very mild tea. Personally, I put a little honey in this tea and it tasted just a tad better. The overall flavor is very light and mild and doesn't compliment sweetness too much.If you're looking for taste, by all means steam and steep some Earl Grey, Lipton or other tea varieties. As far as preparation, I simply boiled water courtesy of my microwave and left the tea bag in the water while in the microwave for 2 minutes. After taking it out of the microwave, I noticed that the color was significantly lighter than other teas in which I steeped it a little and that was it.Effects-I've read some reviews on here that said this tea will make you run to the bathroom. While I haven't had that strong of an effect from drinking this tea, I will say that this tea is much stronger than it appears to be. In about 30 minutes time, I was going to the bathroom, and you can feel this tea working on your stomach and making you sweat thanks to the Senna and herbs that's in it. After an hour's time, I noticed an increase in energy, and the fact that I was able to exercise for longer periods of time. This tea's ideal for losing extra water that you've retained and even burning calories and fat. It works as advertised. The best part about this tea is that while it boosts energy, it has no caffeine, therefore, you'll be able to sleep.Side effects-Keep in mind that everyone's different. But my experience in side effects so far are increased energy and a slight headache. This could be due to my low calorie diet or the fact that I haven't had any real sugar lately.Anyway, I highly recommend this tea. I personally bought this just to help with bowel movements and exercise and it works despite it's ultra cheap price. It comes in a small green and black box with small Chinese writing at the top and looks like something one could get from a small Asian shop or dollar store. However, at this price, it's a steal. I myself will be buying more.
