I've always found tea drinkers to be creatures of habit. Same mug, same time, same blend. Tea Burn is designed to slip into that habit without changing a thing about the taste. It's a liquid you add to your tea once a day, and the company says it turns an ordinary cup into one that supports a healthy metabolism.
Hot or iced, black or green, herbal or chai. The company says it works with any of them.
The ingredients
Here's what the company lists:
Chlorogenic acid, a plant compound best known from green coffee beans, which has been studied for its effects on how the body handles sugar and fat
Green tea (Camellia sinensis), the source of catechins like EGCG, long associated with metabolism support
L-carnitine, an amino acid that helps shuttle fatty acids into your cells to be used for energy
L-theanine, the calming amino acid that occurs naturally in tea leaves and is known for a relaxed, focused feeling
Chromium, a trace mineral involved in carbohydrate metabolism
A vitamin complex to round things out
L-theanine is the one I find most charming here. Tea already contains it, which is part of why a cup of tea feels calmer than a cup of coffee. Adding more of it fits the whole spirit of the product.
Why add it to tea?
Tea is already one of the healthiest drinks around. It's practically calorie free, it keeps you hydrated, and green tea in particular has a lot of research behind it. The idea behind Tea Burn is to build on something you already enjoy instead of asking you to start a brand new routine.
And because the formula is described as tasteless, your favorite blend stays your favorite blend. No strange aftertaste, no grit at the bottom of the mug.
The company describes the formula as patent pending. It comes as a liquid, so there's nothing to dissolve and nothing to measure beyond one serving a day. I'd make it part of your first cup in the morning, when the gentle lift from tea is most welcome and the habit is easiest to keep. It also travels well, so you can keep a bottle at work if that's where you drink most of your tea.
Iced tea fans aren't left out either. The company says it works in hot or iced tea alike, which makes it a handy summer habit too.
Pricing
Two bottles, 60 days: $158 ($79 each), plus shipping
Three bottles, 90 days: $207 ($69 each), plus shipping
Six bottles, 180 days: $294 ($49 each), free shipping
The six bottle option brings the cost down to $49 a bottle and covers you for half a year, with no shipping to pay. Checkout is through ClickBank, and the company says it's a one time charge with no autoship.
The money back guarantee runs 60 days, and the company says you can return even empty bottles for a refund minus shipping and handling. That's plenty of time to see how it fits your morning.
A few tips for tea lovers
Pick your steadiest daily cup and make that your Tea Burn cup. For most people, that's breakfast. Go easy on sugar and syrups, because a sweet tea latte can undo a lot of good intentions. And keep drinking water through the day, since tea counts toward hydration but shouldn't be your only drink. A short walk after lunch or dinner is another easy habit that sits nicely alongside a daily cup.
There's no supplement facts panel, so the amounts and the caffeine content aren't shown. If you're sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing, or take stimulant medication, find out the caffeine content first, and chromium can add to diabetes medication, so ask your doctor. Green tea extracts have rare reports of liver injury, mostly at high doses on an empty stomach.
The company's bigger claims, that Tea Burn is "scientifically proven" to raise metabolism and has "absolutely zero side effects reported," come with no study, patent number or safety data. A few drops of an undisclosed blend are unlikely to change your weight much on their own.
Next time the kettle's on, it could be your first Tea Burn cup. You can order through the official site.
