<span itemprop="name">Wonderful Tea</span>
<span itemprop="description">I was surprised at the negative reviews here, so I had to write my first review and chime in. This is a wonderful-tasting tea and it makes me feel good every time I drink it. When I make a cup of this for my husband, who is very picky, he always remarks how good it is without even knowing what tea I've brewed. It's a staple here.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Okay everyday tea, except..</span>
<span itemprop="description">I drink this every day with lunch and while I enjoy it, I'd only really buy it on sale because it's nothing particularly special taste wise and considering I drink it every day, the price is a bit too steep. None of the flavoures stand out a ton but that's what makes it good: it's a nice balance between the tea notes, orange peel, and ginger.</span>

<span itemprop="name">First tea I enjoy without sweetener</span>
<span itemprop="description">I'm a sugar fiend. I put a tonne of sugar in my orange peakoe tea. Drank pop and energy drinks. Wanted to get a bit healthier so I tried this. It doesnt nees anything. I've been drinking this during the day and fruity herbal teas at night with no sweetener and barely ever have pop anymore.
So pleased with this. Will be buying more once my current stash gets low.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Delicious orange flavour</span>
<span itemprop="description">This tea is very light and soothing. It has a strong taste of orange peel which I love. Unfortunately I can’t really taste the ginger but it is still delicious. I make it a latte with vanilla soy milk and it has the slight taste of a creamsicle! Yum :)</span>

<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: AlanaMS</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="13920016">
Hi AlanaMS! I first tried this tea at a David&rsquo;s Tea store in Toronto while walking around shopping with a girlfriend. She loved it and swore by it. It tasted really good, but seemed strong. We left to go to an out of town event and I thought I was going to have a horrific accident while driving and thankfully was able to get to a highway gas station just in time! Omg. It was so awful and embarrassing. Nothing like this had happened before or since&mdash;this was 12 years ago in September 2012. I was really curious about why I had such a severe digestive reaction since it was midday and I had my usual breakfast without any issues, so I spoke to some very knowledgeable associates about it the next time I went to purchase my usual herbal teas. They also confirmed that there aren&rsquo;t any laxative aids added to this blend and suggested I may have a good sensitivity or that the blend was steeped for too long or too strong. For context, I&rsquo;m a longtime IBS sufferer and have tried many digestive teas without issues; but, none were as delightful tasting to me as this one. I took a chance. I bought a ton of loose leaf and I tested with 1 scoop instead of 2 and I steeped for 3m at first. It worked wonderfully! I&rsquo;ve been a regular customer of this digestive tea since then without any issues. I&rsquo;m sharing this with you in case you, like me, may have sensitivities to very strongly brewed digestive teas. I recommend you try the loose leaf so you can control the amount and time the steeping to the minimum at first to see how well you tolerate it. If you don&rsquo;t have any issues, try 1.5 scoops and 4m &mdash; that&rsquo;s been my ideal brewing and amount for optimal benefits with zero cramping, nausea, bathroom emergencies, etc. I hope this is helpful for you. I&rsquo;d hate for anyone to ever almost have a mortifying accident while driving on the highway or elsewhere 😅 Wishing you good health! Steph&nbsp;

Good morning. &nbsp;I drink Organic The Skinny Tea every day with my breakfast and lunch. &nbsp;It is by far my favourite tea. &nbsp; I find it&rsquo;s full flavour very satisfying and almost calming. &nbsp; I&rsquo;ve never dunked ginger snaps in my tea however there is ginger in the blend so I&rsquo;m sure the flavour would be to your liking. &nbsp;Try it...you won&rsquo;t be disappointed. &nbsp; Enjoy!!

I do not believe that any one thing will help you lose weight. I drink Skinny because it is a great tea. It does make me feel better when I drink it and I think with a good diet, exercise and drinking Skinny you will lose weight. Enjoy the tea.

Hi Deb123 The skinny is one of my favourite oolong teas. I don&rsquo;t drink it before bed as it does have a small amount of caffeine in it but I&rsquo;ve had it after dinner without any effect on my sleep. I&rsquo;ve never had loose stools from it either. Hope this helps!
