I love black tea, I drink it all day and every day.. I never get bored, it's my lifesaver in the morning and a relaxation in the evening. I've always pushed away herbal tea, it's never been a friend of mine until most recently. I got into the TeaTox phase last month where I tried out BooTea and I didn't have a great experience with it. After the BooTea ran out I decided I would adventure into Green Tea. Of course, Green Tea has a load of benefits and the main reason I wanted to try it was because of the 'weight loss' myth. Green Tea is suppose to speed up your metabolism and burn calories quicker, so why not - it is healthy and full of antioxidants.

Last week was my first week and the first sign I got from the tea was that I wasn't as hungry, or having any temptations to hunt down the nearest snack. When I started the Green Tea I was being healthy before hand so that was a big help, as we all know it's tough when cutting down your favourite packet of crisps or that cheeky dark chocolate digestive (yummm).

I'm into my second full week now and it's going good, I have a Green Tea every day (well I try my best at weekends) and I feel better when exercising, I feel like I have more power and push into the workout.
At home, I already had the Tetley Green Tea With Lemon so I decided to carry on with that box. The flavour is nice, it's not that powerful so it's almost having warm water with a hint of something (bearable than some beverages). I have been doing quite a bit of herbal tea research and because of my love for Black Tea I wanted to see if they did a blend with Green Tea and Twining's actually do! Sadly, I couldn't find it in a near by shop (my hunt is still on) so I saw a 'Detox' Tea by Twinings, and decided to give that a go. It's a powerful herbal tea, I have it on a Sunday because it's just right. It has 3 ingredients; Lemon Peel, Lemon Myrtle and Milk Thistle so from that you an probably tell, it's pretty lemon-ey. It does have a strong taste but it's a little helping hand from nature promising to purify and restore (so suck it up).

I started to run out of my Tetley Green Tea and decided that I wanted a stronger Green Tea. I read up that you can get stronger Tea's and they contain more goodness, but the taste will be more bitter. I opted for Clipper Pure Green Tea as it was only £1 at Asda :) The taste is most definitely stronger so hopefully thats more antioxidants for me :)

What do you think of my super cute teapot and mugs, I'm really in love with them x
