...drag artist. He uses Slimatee before a show to banish those few extra pounds to ensure that he fits into the his tightest of lycra dresses!! He recommended Slimatee to me so thought I would give it a try as I was a Bridesmaid to my now Sister-in -Law. Satin can be very unforgiving, so I needed to lose a few pounds to be comfortable in the dress. So what is Slimatee?

Advantages: If the herbs used are as high quality as they claim
Disadvantages: Poor quality control allowing the herbal ingredients to become contaminate/infested with insects

Dr Stuarts' Teas is of extremely poor quality especially the Detox Tea in which such products have been found to be contaminated and infested with insects still alive in the unopened retail pack. Since there is no product gaurantee for quality, you will be lucky if you don't purchase a lot that has this quality problem. The problem of infestation appears only after the product has been kept and not immediately used. Depending on where you purchased ...

Advantages: Good for you and caffeine free
Disadvantages: Possibly an acquired taste

...coffee shop there, and during the course of my shameless poncing of free beverages, along with a slice of some nice lemon cake he served me some tea which he described as "African bush tea". He's a bit of a tea expert. Alongside the coffee shop he also has a fancy shop that sells all kinds of imported tea, and this was some stuff that he'd just got in which he'd grown quite fond of. I'd never even heard of this stuff before, but I was suitably impressed ...
...true tea. It comes from the plant Aspalathus linearis, rather than the Camellia plants that produce traditional teas. The name Rooibos comes from the Afrikaans word for 'red bush'. The Rooibos plant is a small shrubby bush that only grows in South Africa. The bush grows anywhere from 1/2 to 1 metre in height, with very thin, needle-like leaves. The leaves are green, but turn the characteristic red after fermentation. Rooibos is totally pure natural ... Read review

Advantages: Soothing, relaxing, helps you get a good night's sleep
Disadvantages: Not the most appealing taste

...it was rather exhausting. Twinings are well known for producing quality teas and this particular type is no exception. It is made with the head of the Camomile flower and they say this tea is made from at least 98% pollen heads (I do wonder what the other 2% is though?). These tea bags are caffeine free and have no added sugar so a cup of their Camomile tea contains only 2 calories - no worries there about putting on weight! The tea has a light ...
...hotels and restaurants that offer Twinings Herbal Teas with their range of hot drinks - this is a great way to try them out without committing to buying a whole box however Camomile is something of an acquired taste so it is worth persevering. Personally I would not drink Camomile tea except for those times when I feel the need for calm or a good night's sleep. I do sometimes drink it after a restaurant meal because it always seems somewhat bizarre ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, minty.
Disadvantages: Nowt in the way of caffeine.

...A nice cup of Twinings peppermint tea is what I'm after.' It doesn't have any of the strength of a normal cup of tea. There is a slight minty aftertaste, but that dissipates after a few minutes. Also, I really wouldn't recommend dunking biscuits into it. They'd only get caught up in the teabag resulting in an unpleasant minty/biscuity stodge. No one wants that. So, if you work with gingers who are incapable of accurately gauging the quantity of coffee ... Read review
