I felt the effects from this tea the first day I started. I noticed I had more energy, I felt more productive and I wasn't as hungry. I didn't even think at the time about the fact I had had a cup of this tea in the morning. It wasn't until about 2 days later when I realized that all the energy and less hunger that it was probably the results this tea.

Also...I have horrible kidney problems and since drinking this I've noticed a Huge change. I drink a lot of tea and this is the first time I've ever noticed a difference.

Seriously..this is a great product..as well as their Peach Detox tea. I highly recommend it :)

This Fasting Tea from Yogi Tea for Weight Loss Support is "designed to promote healthy functioning of the stomach and intestines, and to help you feel more energetic while you lose weight." Fasting Tea is based on an Ayurvedic formula---Ayurveda is an Indian form of health care now also becoming popular in the United States.

It's suggested that you drink Fasting Tea 15 minutes before eating. I have done this, and it does really seem to help, although I'm not quite sure if the effect is physiological or psychological. Oh, well, I don't care, since it helps me to be in control of my eating. It has a sweet and pleasing taste, and is quite enjoyable to sip on while others are filling up on bread, appetizers, and high-calorie drinks and alcohol.

I am impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Fasting Tea comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.

Yogi Tea writes this on the box about the tea's benefits: "Fasting is made with organic Red Clover and Garcinia Fruit designed to help support a healthy weight loss program, as it aids digestive functions, supports the metabolism and encourages internal cleansing. The tea includes hydroxy-citric acid that is found in the Garcinia Fruit, native to Southeast Asia. This naturally occurring substance has been shown to simultaneously suppress the appetite, help reduce fats and cholesterol in the liver and disrupt the process by which the body stores excess calories as fat. We have also included the warming herbs Fennel Seed, Cinnamon Bark and Black Pepper to help promote circulation, as well as Red Clover, which works as a tonic and a blood purifier. The recipe is complimented with Alfalfa Leaf, Indian Bacopa Leaf (Gotu Kola), and English Hawthorn Berry, all of which can aid the body in the elimination of wastes that are known to slow the metabolism. Finally, we've included Burdock, Dandelion and Yellow Dock Roots, all used by European herbalists for centuries to support the liver in eliminating toxins." Other ingredients in this tea are Licorice Root, Alfalfa Leaf, Cardamom Seed, Ginger Root, Clove Bud, Barley Malt, Date Powder, Natural Plum Flavor, and Natural Passion Fruit Flavor. Almost every ingredient in this tea is also organic.

There are no cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Fasting Tea contains no caffeine whatsoever. It steeps for 5-10 minutes, a nice long time, but I find that I only need one tea bag instead of two for a wonderful flavor.

I really like this tea, and it is very health-promoting.

Highly Recommended.

I use this tea not for fasting, but because it also gives you extra energy. It is very soothing, I love the fennel in it. One of the best Yogi teas!

I love this tea, very pleasant and delicate flavor. We drink it between meals, after meals, and sometime at night before bed. Originally I ordered it for myself to support my dieting. But now my husband, who cannot drink caffeine due to issues with his stomack, fall in love with this tea also.
Amazon has great price on it if buy in 6 pack box.

In reading alot of the reviews on the Yogi Fasting Tea and the Yogi DeTox Tea and how people spit it out and yap what a horrible tea it is...I just have to say "THESE ARE MEDICINAL TEAS PEOPLE!" not lovely infused lemon peppermint cranberry strawberry etc etc or what have you. They are made from roots and dandelions and things that will make you HEALTHY! These medicinal teas are an acquired taste. I quite enjoy them hot or cold. My roommates scream whenever I brew a cup because it does have a rather stinky smell like medicine. Ha! But I feel great and I never get sick! You decide I guess.

I love this tea - for the flavor not necessarily for fasting. In the winter I make it hot and in the summer as an iced tea. My Mom evens likes it and she mostly drinks English breakfast!

Fair enough, many people dislike this tea because the dominant taste is fennel, but I'm not one of them. I love this tea and am delighted that I found it for such a great price here on Amazon. The appealing taste actually makes me look forward to fasting days. It also really works (suppressing appetite). It's like my fasting-day treat. Delicious.

I first bought this tea from Whole Foods when I was beginning a fast. When I looked at the ingredients, I knew that I would barely be able to stand the taste (just the sight of the word 'licorice' made me want to gag), but I've always loved Yogi teas and if it did what it read on the description of he box, I was willing to give it a go. Sure enough, when I just cracked open the box, the scent was unbelievably overwhelming, unpleasant and I knew it would taste just as awful. It did.

However, it does do exactly what it reads on the box and then some! It really does the job when it comes to quelling my appetite and it feels like I just got a shot of B-12 (maybe it's just because I actually do chug it lol). In one review, the reviewer said that they drink it bedtime. Although it's caffeine-free, I personally get so, so much natural energy from it, I would suggest drinking it during the daytime and see how it effects you.

I've kept drinking it after the fast, because of it's health benefits, it's appetite AND craving suppression and the natural energy boost that it provides. I totally recommend it, but cant give it all five stars simply because of the flavor. Definitely worth a try!!

I was looking for green tea supplements that offered appetite surpressing and detox. I always read the reviews of AMAZON and find them very helpful. There were a few people who rated this product below a three, but more than not it was rated 4 or 5. I understand why! The fasting herbal supplement has a good flavor and a little sweet taste at the end. I am drinking it every day and find that I am eating less. I do have more energy and I am moving away from coffee to drinking more tea daily. I love it and I don't believe that alone I will lose weight, but as part of an overall better eating plan it will help me pass up some of the sweet stuff over the holiday season and beyond. Good product.

I like a sweet tea and don't like licorice, still this tea is good for me. I'm on day 4 of my seven day fast and whenever I have the urge to eat or am feeling low on energy I take this tea and voila- instantly I feel better (less hungry and more energized). I'm going to look into more teas by this brand. There's another cute thing about the tea tags, they have nice little affirmations on the white tags: my favorite is "Self reliance conquers any difficulty." I also wanted to add that if you are new to fasting: after the second day it's been easy peasy for me! I can easily go a week for internal cleansing and to kick start a diet. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because there is a slight licorice taste and I am not a fan. Still I will buy it again as soon as I run out, I love the sweetness and the natural (organic) benefits to my body.
