Total Tea "Gentle Detox" is caffeine free and kosher certified.

Sometimes, you may not even be aware Total Tea is working on your system because of its extremely gentle design.

Yes you can drink hot or cold with same benefits. If you add ice; however, you will need to compensate for the dilution. We recommend just chilling in the fridge. The oxidation process will start to effect the color & taste of the tea the longer you refrigerate it (gets bolder tasting & darker color with time). This doesnt alter the effectiveness of the tea; however, I would refrigerate and re-use 3-5 days and then make a fresh batch.

The ultimate question is whether the filter paper is chlorine bleached. The concern is that a byproduct of chlorine bleaching is dioxin, a highly carcinogenic poison. Many people associate the whitening of paper with dioxin pollution. No tea bag filter paper currently available is chlorine bleached. The filter paper we use is whitened using an oxygen process. Chlorine bleaching has largely been abandoned in the US for any kind of paper. There is a type of tea bag filter paper that is called unbleached, which means it hasnt been whitened. Either way, there is no bleach involved. We dont use the unbleached because it doesnt add any performance or environmental advantage.

Results will vary from person to person since every system is different. You may experience changes within a few days, while others will take a few months. Generally, people with healthier systems obtain quicker results.

Every system is different, so consult your doctor if you have questions. For best results, drink Total Tea in the evening. If you are having difficulty obtaining desired results, use Total Tea in the morning and evening.

It may take time to discover the perfect cups of water per tea bag ratio to best fit your system. Use Total Tea as directed on the box for the first week. If the suggested recommendations are too strong then drink a cup instead. If you dont experience your desired results, increase the concentration. Start by increasing the steep time to 8-10 minutes and stir well. If you are still not successful, use 3 cups of water per tea bag. If necessary, continue to strengthen the concentration until desired results are obtained. Unhealthy systems may require the concentration of 1 cup of water to 1-2 tea bag(s).

Senna is an FDA-approved non-prescription drug and has been proven safe and effective for ages 2 and up (ususally doctor recommend under age 16). Senna in high concentrated doses (pill form) around 17-30mg/day CAN cause dependency and shouldn't be taken for lengthy periods of time. Our tea contains the leaf form and constitutes approximately 1/10th of the overall weight. In addition, it is highly diluted with the steeping process. Our company directs clients to use for 1-2 weeks and then "as needed" just to be on the extreme safe side; however, many of the 700+ doctors that carry our product have recommended for much longer periods based on the extreme gentleness of our product. If you are pregnant and/or nursing or under the age of 16, read this review and consult your doctor before taking.

Peristalsis is the muscles in the intestines contracting to push or move fecal contents through the digestive tract. Total Tea helps this process by increasing the amount of contractions and/or the strength of these contractions resulting in more frequent bowel movements.

No fungicide is used in our products. There are several ways to clean herbs that are prone to bacterial or other growth. We use a steaming method that (in most cases) has proven to be 80% more effective than chemicals.

The colon is the last portion of the digestive system (see photo). It extracts water and salt from solid wastes before they are eliminated by the body. Colon cleansing, sometimes reffered to as detoxification, is a treatment which claims to rid the body of accumulated harmful substances that exert a negative effect on individual health.
