Product Description

Green Tea Slim Life is a caffeinated tea designed to support a healthy weight loss program and give you the energy you need to maintain an active lifestyle. Organic green tea (camellia sinensis) supplies catechin polyphenols, chemical compounds that can help support the processes by which our bodies burn calories. These compounds have also been linked to fat oxidation in a pilot clinical study conducted by the University of Geneva, Switzerland (1999). This formula is supplemented with ginseng and eleuthro root extract (pan ax ginseng, pan ax quinquefolium, eleutherococcus senticosus), an energizing extract that helps increase blood circulation. Green Tea Slim Life includes triphala, the Ayurvedic herbal blend of organic amla fruit (amalaki), organic belleric myrobalan fruit (bibhitaki) and organic chebulic myrobalan fruit (haritaki). Known for its gentle cleansing properties, triphala is also used to improve digestion and support a weight loss program. This tea also includes garcinia cambogia fruit extract (garcinia cambogia) that contains hydroxycitric acid. Independent animal studies have shown this substance to simultaneously suppress the appetite and help reduce the accumulation of fats and cholesterol in the liver. With hints of hibiscus and bilberry, Green Tea Slim Life is a fragrant and delicious way to reveal the new you. To ensure the purity, quality and efficacy of this healing formula, we heat-seal each tea bag and cello-wrap each box, certified organic by QAI, Inc.

About the Brand
In 1969, Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring spiritual leader, began teaching Kundalini Yoga in America. He shared the knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India. After each class he would serve a special spice tea to his students, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. Given the unique, healthful properties of these delicious spices, they are still included in many Yogi Tea formulas as an added boost for overall well-being.

Ayurveda (science of life) is a comprehensive philosophy and health system developed 5,000 years ago in India. Ayurvedic medicine combines natural therapies with a balanced approach to treatment of disease. Ayurvedic philosophy places equal emphasis on body, mind and spirit as it strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual.

In the 1970s, small businesses began to take root under the inspiration and dedication of a number of Yogi Bhajan’s students. Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurants opened in the United States, Canada and Europe. The rich and spicy aroma of Yogi Tea brewing permeated the environment, and soon customers wanted to brew their own at home. Through these restaurants, the first batches of Yogi Tea were sold to the public.

In 1984, this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. Soon, the spices were more finely ground and sold in tea bags, and by 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors. In 1988, Yogi Bhajan and his team of master herbalists expanded the line to address specific health needs by creating highly specialized herbal formulas. In 1991, the company decided it would use organic ingredients. Obstacles immediately arose, as there simply weren’t enough organic herbs and spices available. But following a four-year-long effort, a partnership was formed with ForesTrade to source organic Indonesian cinnamon, the most-used ingredient at the time, and several other spices from community-based organic farms.

Currently, 17 Yogi Teas are certified organic, but all contain organic ingredients in variable proportion. The company sources 63 organic herbs and spices and is always looking for new organic sources as some of the natural healing herbs, oils and extracts used are not yet available organically.

Yogi Teas have continued to evolve, meeting the ever-changing needs of the customer. In 2007, the entire Yogi Tea line is being repackaged and introduced as a collection of newly defined Body, Mind, Spirit product lines. This new way of thinking takes tea beyond a simple beverage and into a way of living.

Each of the more than 50 Yogi Teas is formulated for a different purpose. Whether it’s time to jump start the day, participate in or recover from physical activity, calm the mind and clarify thoughts or revive the spirit and reflect on the world, there’s a Yogi Tea to meet that need.

Yogi Teas are developed and produced at the company’s modern manufacturing facility in Eugene, Oregon. There the highest-quality herbs and spices, expert knowledge of the health benefits of each ingredient and the wisdom of Ayurveda are incorporated into every tea.

Customer Reviews

deliciously fragrant tea and energy booster
I was surprised when I first brewed this tea -- it turned purple! Turns out it has a delicious blueberry/orange scent which is a surprise since I wasn't expecting any flavor from this tea. After drinking the tea, I got an energy boost and a clean feeling in my stomach. It's a good way to keep going without snacking.

Great tea
I've tried almost every green tea on the market, and this is one of my favorites. It has a great flavor, and it really does help me keep from snacking between meals. I don't think it's possible to find great organic green tea at this price anywhere else.

Great find!
This tea is delicious, especially with honey. It is a very fragrant yet "gentle" tea. It does help control appetite in the sense that it helps reduce stress, one of the major causes of constantly grazing at work. Being organic is a bonus.
