Faq's

Yes, black tea, if taken plain without adding sugar or milk, makes a low-calorie drink, and just having this plain tea concentrate can make a huge difference in losing those extra pounds.

How many times do we need to drink black tea?

Drinking it 3 to 4 times is a good habit, but consuming it more than 4 to 5 times can have a negative impact and cause restlessness and sleepless nights, thus causing fat to build up even more than shedding it.

    I’ve been drinking black tea everyday now at least 3 times per day, and it really does do what it claims… it helps control my hunger and, aids in control of my need for sweets. I find this beverage soothing and the healthy benefits are welcomed…
