@marjou. I ordered the specially developed fasting tea from Pique for my 14 day fast. Here is a link to an article on their web site about what teas boost energy, why it may be a better choice than coffee for an energy boost, and the benefits of tea. https://blog.piquetea.com/best-tea-for-energy/

My acupuncturist/TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) healer encouraged me to try tea...and I'm so glad he did and I am. Three months ago I didn't even own a teapot or have a clue as to how to brew it. A google search led me to The Tea Spot, and I've ordered wonderful tea from them when they have specials. The woman who owns it credits tea to helping her recover from cancer, and I think she even wrote a book about it. I love the educational articles on their site, particularly for someone like me starting out. They don't make me feel stupid for not knowing something. You might get other ideas on what types of tea are particularly beneficial for what are on their web site or others. I don't take the different brewing time recommendations by tea type too seriously, but maybe I will when I learn more about it. I can only deal with so many new things at a time, sigh.

My only requirement about buying tea is that it be certified organic. I've spent time in areas around the world that produce tea, and some of the growers use large amounts of chemicals that I think are downright dangerous. The web site for The Tea Spot is http://www.theteaspot.com. Nancy
