~4.4 mins read
Drinking tea has been associated with many health benefits, including protecting cells from damage and reducing the risk of heart disease. Some studies have even found that tea may enhance weight loss and help fight belly fat. Certain types have been found to be more effective than others at achieving this.
Slimming teas are often advertised as a way to lose weight and cleanse the body. The theory is that the tea stimulates digestion, aids metabolism, and, in some 
cases, rids the body of impurities. ... All of them try to satisfy a person's desire to lose weight.

Does slimming tea really work?
Effectiveness. There is very little evidence that slimming tea is effective. In fact, class action lawsuits have been filed against companies who sold their teas as weight loss supplements. ... However, there is a substantial lack of evidence to support the claims that slimming tea affects weight loss. Weight loss teas promise to boost your metabolism, burn away stomach fat, and even "teatox" your body. What tea marketers don't tell you is that drinking these brews might also be associated with more missed periods, unplanned pregnancies, and permanent gut damage.

Peppermint tea aids digestion by helping food pass through the stomach quickly. Either buy pre-packed peppermint tea or use fresh mint leaves.
 2. Green tea:

If you are not a fan of the bitter taste of green tea, try making it in slightly cooler water. Steeping your teabag in 70-degree water instead of a 100-degree water, brings out all the flavour in the green tea without the bitterness. 
 3. Chamomile tea:
Chamomile is a calming herb that can be helpful for people under stress. It’s good for the digestive system and relieves bloating. Have a cup before bed and ease into an easy night’s sleep.

It also contains antioxidants and other substances that might help protect the heart and blood vessels.
 6. Oolong Tea: Oolong produced through a process including withering the plant under strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. Most oolong teas, especially those of fine quality, involve unique tea plant cultivars that are exclusively used for health improvement. Oolong tea falls between green and black tea, with oxidation rate anywhere between around 10 to 90%. Some oolong teas may be almost fully oxidized, making them very close to black tea, while others are green and light. ... Each type is unique with flavor, scent and leaves matching the terroir.
