Herbalife Herbal Concentrate Tea Original 1.8oz Review

I've been trying to lose weight for many years and would be what is considered a yo-yo dieter.  With several successes under my belt (pun intended), I've also had many failures and have never been happy with the number on my scale.  I'm finally at a point in my life where it's better for me to concentrate on being healthy and not constantly watching the digits beneath my toes.  Since I was introduced to Herbalife, I know that achieving a healthy lifestyle is possible.

I've tried several Herbalife products and one of my favorites is the Herbal Tea Concentrate.  The tea comes in four different flavors:  original, lemon, peach, and raspberry.  Each flavor tastes great and I like to switch them up on occasion for a refreshing treat.  I always drink my tea cold but it can also be drank as a hot tea.

The tea is promoted as being able to increase energy and metabolism with the Herbalife website stating that it is a "delicious instant tea with the antioxidant and thermogenic benefits of green tea and fast-acting botanicals for energy and weight-management support."  *

My Herbalife distributor told me that one serving burns 70 calories but I cannot find any published information supporting that claim.  Sure it would be great if it were true, but that's not why I drink this tea.  I drink it because it tastes great, is good for me, and is a terrific replacement for soda pop and juice.

Obviously, Herbalife would prefer that their Herbal Tea Concentrate be purchased through one of their distributors, but doing a quick online search shows that it is sold on auction and other independent websites (often for less than the retail price).  I buy mine from my distributor for just over $20 for a 1.8 oz. bottle, which contains thirty 1/2 teaspoon servings.  Yes, it's pricey compared to tea sold at the grocery store, but it's something that I treat myself to in the quest for obtaining a healthy lifestyle.  I really can't put a price tag on that.
