Irish folk are avid tea drinkers and more of us are turning to alternative brews, such as green tea, peppermint or ginger. One type of tea that is taking Irish market by storm is Chá Yi Tea and we decided to take a look at its benefits. Chá Yi Tea is an all-natural product that helps to boost the metabolism and cleanse the digestive system to maximise weight loss, which has helped it quickly become one of the fastest selling weight loss teas in the world. Chá Yi Tea, which is made to an ancient 400-year-old traditional recipe, is filled with specially selected herbal ingredients to facilitate what scientists call 'fat oxidation' - burning the body's fat reserves as fuel. It includes a blend of traditional herbs and plants to help purify the body's cells and support the essential organs through the digestive process. Among the 100% natural ingredients you’ll find lotus leaf to optimise digestion and Cassia seeds to support the internal organs. Another key ingredient is Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, also known as Jiaogulan. It has powerful anti-oxidant properties; helps to regulate the digestive system and helps to cleanse the body, leaving users with brighter eyes and skin. The tea helps your body to get rid of the fat rather than store it, while reducing your body's ability to absorb fat from your food at the same time. Coupled with a sensible diet and light exercise, Chá Yi Tea targets the fat stored in your body, doubling the results than you would get from diet and exercise alone. Chá Yi Tea has a number of other benefits, from boosting the metabolic rate and increasing energy levels, to supporting internal organs as you lose weight. It also has cleansing properties, and helps remove harmful toxins from the body. The four-step process to losing weight requires introduction of gentle exercise, smaller (yet frequent) meals, and healthier food options along with two cups of the tea every day. So if you need help to kickstart that healthy regime you've been promising yourself all summer, why not swap your evening tea and biscuit combo for a healthy Chá Yi cuppa, we're certainly going to give it a try! Chá Yi Tea is available exclusively across all Therapie Clinics nationwide and available to purchase here.  Previous Shopping List Additions: Beetroot Asparagus Blueberries
