I’ve recently started trying to start my mornings in the train to work with a kick starter detox tea. It may be counter productive because I’m assuming you’re ideally supposed to drink bucket loads of these internally cleansing potions to feel any real results, but for me it’s at least a step in the right direction to drink something that feels nice and isn’t loaded with sugar or anything too heavy as my first fluids of the day.
Whilst at work the other day I received a free P&P offer email from Tea Pigs. I’ve tried a few of their teas before, they’re my main fluid staple when I’m at work (my boss likes their selections a lot too). So being the overexcited consumer that I am I was on their website four times in one day to try and commit to a tea purely because I was tempted in by the free postage offer (in all fairness, free P&P can save you £3 or so these days). I eventually got on with my work and forgot about buying tea and told myself to stop being so consumerist and to just be content with the tea I already have in the cupboard…until I saw another promotion for 3 boxes of a Tea Pigs Feel-good teas for £10! Tadah! Perfect.
I chose to go with their blend called Clean n’ Green because I know two things about my tea: I like green teas and I like pretending that a tea loaded with antioxidants is counteracting all the bad food I ate at the weekend. In my head I can order that dominos on Saturday night if I spend the next week drinking steaming hot leaves in a cup, because then nothing ever happened, right? However, I’ve always been sceptical of detox teas, I never trust any product that implies or claims I might lose weight from it because I usually think that it’ll just be a strong green tea loaded with laxatives or something unpleasant. However, this detox tea doesn’t try and claim you’ll reach your bikini body goals, it’s just claims to be a nice blend that can make you feel nice! I’m 100% pro that!
There are so many pros to green tea, I tend to drink it by the pint during the day. Green teas have compounds that make you smarter, improve brain function, it can improve fat burning and physical performance, it has even been reported to lower your risks of certain diseases such and some cancers. So let’s be honest, Green tea is basically a magical blend of goodness that we should all be drinking all the time because evidently it’s the most amazing gift this earth has been blessed with (or something like that at least).
The tea itself is a really pleasant flavour, it’s loaded with lovely things like liquorice and dandelion bits. A good way to describe is that it tastes, well, clean and green! The name of it is a perfect description. It’s like a fancy green tea with a hint of sweetness! As an avid green tea drinker, whether it be green with lemon or green with mint, I can definitely recommend this tea. Every morning I’ve felt that little bit more refreshed and ready for a days work since brewing this blend before rushing off to grab the train to work.
