Ortte Skinny Tea

The company behind this supplement is sometimes called Ortte Scandinavian, which sounds as if it should be based in Scandinavia but seems to be located at a business centre in Croydon. According to the live chat facility, Ortte is a British company with offices in many parts of the world including India, Australia, and Spain. Ortte Skinny Tea is manufactured in China.

Ortte Skinny Tea Overview

What you need to know about Ortte Skinny Tea

Ortte Scandinavian Skinny Tea is a two-part tea program that you take over 28 days. The Morning Tea comprises of 28 teabags and the Evening Tea only 14, so the idea is that you take the Morning Tea every day and the Evening Tea every other evening before bedtime.

Although Ortte Tea is described as a slimming tea program rather than a detox, this tea program does contain laxatives and a diuretic so don’t be fooled into thinking that this is somehow different to every other teatox on the market. It contains a blend of mainly Chinese herbs and with three laxatives in the evening blend, you probably will be spending an increased amount of time in your bathroom.

Ortte Tea comes from a British company called Comfort Click based in Croydon, so don’t be misled by the Ortte Scandinavian brand name. The supplement was manufactured in China but is on sale in many countries across the world mainly via Amazon.

What are the side effects of Ortte Skinny Tea?

There may be side effects for some users. These may include diarrhoea, upset stomach, stomach pains nausea, and dehydration.

Some people take Lotus Leaf for relaxation so it may have a mild sedative effect, although research is inconclusive about this ingredient and whether there are any other health risks.

Some people are allergic to Buckwheat so if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, swelling, or difficulty in breathing, you should seek medical advice immediately. Buckwheat is not so commonly available in some countries including the UK, so it is possible to have an allergy without being aware of it. If you experience a reaction, don’t forget to take the ingredients list with you to the hospital.

How much does Ortte Skinny Tea cost?

Considering the tea package contains just 42 teabags, Skinny Tea is very expensive. If you buy from Amazon UK, it costs £24.95 plus 99p delivery to UK addresses.

Prices are comparable on the other Amazon sites.

Ortte Skinny Tea Key Features

Ortte Skinny Tea is a weight loss tea program that you use over a 28 day period. It includes two different types of tea bags; the Daytime tea to be drunk in the morning, and the Evening Tea which you drink before bedtime. According to the product information, these teas will increase your metabolism, improve health and well being with vitamins and nutrients, and generally help health and weight loss.

The Morning Tea contains a blend of ingredients including green tea and lotus leaf, lime leaf, and Goji berry. It also contains dandelion and overall, it looks to be a diuretic in that it will make you pee more frequently.

The Evening Tea contains laxatives including Senna and Psyllium husk, along with some Chinese style ingredients such as mulberry also a laxative, plus rosehip and Lotus Leaf. Check out the ingredients tab to find out more.

Although Ortte Skinny Tea is not described as a detox tea, it does look to be a typical detox tea program like so many we have covered on the Watchdog website. Detox teas always contain ingredients to increase urination, as well as cause a laxative effect. The idea is that this cleanses your body and makes you thinner. Probably the best known British detox tea brand is Bootea, but there are literally thousands of teatox supplements on the market, although the craze does seem to have slightly died down in recent months. To find out more, check out our article which was published at the height of the craze. Source

Strangely Ortte does market a Detox tea (Ortte Detox Tea) which claims to be free from laxatives, which is odd when you consider that Skinny Tea does contain laxatives yet is not aimed at the detox market!

Ortte Scandinavian is a British company based in Croydon, so it is hard to see what Scandinavia has to do with this company! There is an official website and according to this, Ortte has offices in many countries including Australia, Denmark, Spain, and India. However, we were told by customer services that the brand was manufactured in China.

We did some delving and found that Ortte Scandinavia is a brand name from a company called Comfort Click, who seems to specialise in beauty products and personal care and have won awards for business in Gujarat, as well as something called the Herbal retailer award. The listed address is Comfort Click Ltd, 106 Lower Addiscombe Road, Croydon, CR0 6AD.

You can contact Ortte via the live chat service on the official website. We found the customer service to be very helpful and prompt in answering our questions.

What does Ortte Skinny Tea claim to do?

According to the advertising on Amazon, Ortte Skinny Tea has the following benefits:

• Morning & evening – Contains both morning and evening tea each with tailored ingredients and benefits for a rounded 28 day program
• Metabolism booster – Helps to boost the metabolism to improve the body’s fat burning abilities to result in healthy weight loss
• Health & wellbeing – Packed full of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can give the immune system a boost as well as aid general health and wellbeing
• Appetite Suppressant – Helps naturally suppress the appetite to avoid unwanted snacking and binging
• Natural & vegan – 100% natural skinny tea that is vegan and vegetarian-friendly & gluten-free

Does Ortte Skinny Tea work?

The Daytime Tea looks appealing. We like many of the ingredients, and feel that the combination of green tea and lime leaves will probably taste good. Buckwheat has many health benefits as well as protein, so you may find that the tea does fill you up in the morning. In addition, it does contain natural vitamins and antioxidants. Because this tea blend contains dandelion, it will probably increase urination so you will need to ensure you drink plenty of water to avoid the risk of dehydration.

We are not as keen on the Evening Tea. This does contain a blend of different types of laxative including Senna, which will probably have a laxative effect. You should not take Senna for more than 7 consecutive days so although the amount contained here may be low, we can only go on medical advice.

We don’t think that Ortte Skinny Tea will work as described and although there may be some benefits to some of the components, the drawbacks outweigh them. There is no reason to increase urination and take laxatives because doing this is not good for general health or for long term weight loss.

Ortte Skinny Tea Ingredients

Serving size is equal to one tea bag. Ingredient quantities are not provided beyond the percentage of each one compared to the other. This is not very helpful when we do not have a starting point of a real figure.

SKINNY MORNING TEA

• Green Tea (40%): Green tea is better for health than the more usual black tea we drink in the West, because it undergoes minimal preparation, so retains more antioxidants. Clinical research has found that green tea has proven health benefits and the antioxidants (ECGC epigallocatechin-3-gallate and polyphenols) found to have anti-obesity and fat burning properties because of the effects upon the metabolism.
• Lotus Leaf (20%): Also known as Nelumbo Nucifera, this Chinese medicinal ingredient is often used to treat diarrhoea. However, there is no real information about it and neither has a serving size been established. It is sometimes taken as a sedative.
• Lime Leaf (15%): This could be Kaffir Lime and it is often used in Asian cooking because of the lemony flavour. It has been investigated for its anti-cancer benefits and it may help prevent against tooth decay but overall, it should add a lemony flavour to the tea which should be quite appealing. Source
• Dandelion Leaf (10%): This commonplace garden weed acts as a diuretic, which means it makes you urinate more. It is touted for many health conditions, but there is a lack of medical evidence surrounding its efficacy. Source
• Buckwheat (10%): Buckwheat is a plant that, despite its name, is not related to wheat but instead contains grains that can be milled in the same way as wheat, but in fact is more closely related to rhubarb. Buckwheat is well known as an ingredient in crepes – it is popular in France and in Blinis in Russia but it originates from Asia. It is a rich source of dietary fibre, protein, and minerals. It can cause allergic reactions in some users. Source
• Goji Berry (5%): Goji berries are rich in nutrients and extremely high in antioxidants and some early studies suggest they can enhance calm, well being, and weight loss. Other studies that they may help prevent against cell damage such as cancer and macular degeneration – an eye disease. Goji berries may interact with prescription medication. Source

SKINNY EVENING TEA

• Mulberry (20%): Mulberry is a traditional Chinese Medicinal herb sometimes called Sang Ye. It is used for a variety of purposes such as liver, lungs, and fever. However, its key effects are as a laxative and antiseptic. Mulberry contains vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. Source
• Rosehip (20%): Rosehips are the berries that form on the rose bush after the flower has died, and are a traditional herbal remedy for many ailments. Well known natural remedy for gastric issues such as gas and stomach ache, rosehip syrup is an old fashioned treatment for babies with wind or colic. Rosehip tea is a great source of vitamin C and vitamin A, both which strengthen the body’s immune system.
• Lotus Leaf (20%): As above.
• Lime leaf (20%): As above
• Psyllium Husk (10%): This soluble fibre is derived from the seeds of Plantago Ovata, a plant that grows in South India. It has many benefits to health and the digestion, as well as the potential to cause weight loss. The fibre expands once ingested creating bulk which has a laxative effect. 
• Cinnamon (5%): Well known and much-loved spice that is rich in antioxidants. Clinical studies suggest it may help lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood sugar levels, and improve insulin function.
• Senna Leaf (5%): Senna is a powerful laxative that works by irritating the lining of the bowel to prompt bowel movements. You should only use Senna sparingly if you suffer from constipation, and seek medical advice if the condition continues for longer than a few days. Medical advice is to only use for 7 days maximum.

Ortte Skinny Tea Side Effects

There may be side effects for some users. These may include:

• Diarrhoea
• Upset stomach
• Stomach pains
• Nausea
• Dehydration

Some people take Lotus Leaf for relaxation, so it may have a mild sedative effect.

Some people are allergic to Buckwheat so if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, swelling, or difficulty in breathing, you should seek medical advice immediately. Buckwheat is not so commonly available in countries like the UK, so it is possible to have an allergy without being aware of it.

Watchdog Verdict

We are not overly impressed by Ortte Skinny Tea. Although the Daytime Tea sounds quite appealing, we have concerns that the overall tea package may cause adverse side effects. In addition, we are concerned that it is manufactured in China so may not conform to safe manufacturing standards.

Other concerns include the lack of ingredients information, the lack of a money-back guarantee and the lack of customer feedback. We are not very impressed by a Croydon based company selling a Chinese supplement, and then calling themselves Scandinavian. This seems a little tricksy to us, and deliberately intended to create a misleading impression about the origins of this supplement.

We don’t really trust Ortte Skinny Tea, so we do not recommend it to the Watchdog readers.
