Herbal Tea as Weight Loss Aid

Whoever wrote this blurb on Republic of Tea's web site got my attention:

Losing weight is all about moderation, expending energy, curbing sugar cravings, and being well. That's why, if you're thinking thin, this caffeine-free blend is for you. Based on health-promoting, organic rooibos, it includes tropical banaba leaf, cinnamon and carob which satisfy the appetite, providing craving control. Carob and gymnema leaves help to tame your sweet tooth and the urge to indulge.

Ingredients: Rooibos (leaf), Orange (peel), Carob (pod), Cinnamon (bark), Gymnema (leaf), Banaba (leaf) Extract, Natural Cinnamon Flavor.

I ordered it. I like it...a lot. What I'm not sure about is how a teaspoon of herbs transforms water into a steamy magical potion that conjures images of a summer moon dancing on sapphire waves tickled by warm evening breezes.

...and the nice thing is you can re-use the teabags to make up to three cups of brew. Enjoy!

I love tea, and I think it helps me control my appetite. Sometimes if I have some herbal tea with Splena it satisfies my craving for something sweet.
