Tea Blend of the Day: Tummy Tuck tea
If you haven’t tried mixing our Peppermint tea with another type of tea, you’re missing out. It adds delicious minty, refreshing taste to the final blend. And our blend for today, Tummy Tuck, uses the weight loss properties of oolong tea along with the refreshing taste of peppermint.
As we’ve pointed out before, oolong teas have been called ‘diet teas’ for a very long time. They help to burn fat and increase your metabolism. They also help lower the intake of fat content when you eat a high-cholesterol meal, which makes them a perfect after-dinner drink. And the tannic acid in oolong teas even helps lower your current cholesterol levels.
Our Monkey Picked Oolong tea is the highest grade of oolong tea, which means it does the best job of passing on the flavors and health benefits of the tea to you (only the best leaves are included). The name ‘monkey-picked’ refers to the old practice of teaching monkeys to climb to the top of the tea trees and pick the best tea leaves.
Peppermint, besides being tasty, is a very relaxing tea. It helps with digestion as well, but also calms nerves and helps with aches and pains. Peppermint is actually recommend for anyone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. So you can see the “tummy” in our Tummy Tuck tea blend refers to more than just weight loss! Without futher adieu, here’s the blend:
Tummy Tuck tea blend: Use 1 teaspoon of Peppermint Herbal tea and 1 teaspoon of Monkey Picked Oolong tea. Heat water to just below boiling (around 195 degrees) and steep tea for 3-4 minutes.
A warm cup of this is the perfect finish to a good meal! And you’re doing your body good by aiding digestion and helping to lower cholesterol and fat. This blend was submitted by our Sunrise, Florida store in Sawgrass Mills mall.
