Dr Oz: Weight Loss Teas
Dr Oz gave a list of Weight Loss Teas like Pu-erh Tea, Chickweed Tea, Bilberry Tea and White Tea, because after his delicious Coconut Palm Sugar Recipes, doesn’t a cup of tea sound nice? If your hobbies are drinking tea and losing weight, you’re in luck today! On today’s show, Dr Oz gave you the best teas that you can drink all day long that will shrink fat cells and help you lose weight.
Dr Oz introduced Wild on Health in Toronto host, Bryce Wylde. Bryce, an Alternative Medicine Expert, told Doctor Oz that tea not only helps you lose weight, it also helps to get rid of stress, plus, tea is a cravings killer.
Dr Oz: Pu-Erh Tea
This tea is a delicacy from Eastern China and helps shrink fat cells in the morning.
Dr Oz's Weight Loss Teas include Pu-Erh Tea, White Tea, Chickweed Tea, and Bilberry Tea.
For maximum benefits, drink 2 cups in the morning. Pu-Erh Tea also contains gallic acids. It’s fermented, like wine or cheese and comes in a teacake. Pu-Erh is sweet enough so you don’t need sugar, which helps to save on calories.
Dr Oz: White Tea
White tea blocks fat absorption. Drink 2 cups at lunch in order to prevent fat storage from your meal. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the active ingredient to turn you into a fat burning machine. During lunchtime, white tea will help reduce your stress. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and goes down smoothly.
Dr Oz: Chickweed Tea
This mild laxative tea comes from a weed found in Europe and North America. This tea reduces bloating by helping you lose some of the water weight. It contains potassium and magnesium and flushes out “stuff” in your bowels. For maximum benefits, drink 1 cup in the afternoon. Chickweed tea has a fruity taste and is considered an herbal tea.
Dr Oz: Bilberry Tea
Bilberry Tea helps to kill cravings during dinnertime. Its savory sweet flavor balances blood sugar. Bilberry tea also contains antioxidants and comes from a plant that resembles a blueberry. Drink 1 Cup before dinner. (Dr Oz noted that this tea had a slightly medicinal taste.)

Chickweed tea contains nitrates
Bilberry can effect blood sugar be carful if you are on diabetes medication. Has side effects.
Before doing anything that Dr. Oz says is good, not only check with your dr. who may not even know what to tell you because they aren’t familiar with the herbs or go on the web site for the particular herb and ask about side effects.
Be safe…..
Do these teas contain caffeine?
I just bought some Chickweed tea. I hope this works… I love nothing more than a cuppa in the morning before I get ready for work.
I just got some puerh or pu-erh tea from Dr. Oz’s recommendation of artoftea.com.
Sounds great and the flavors look yummy.
Did he mention how long to steep the tea?
Can these teas help constipation and difficolt to urinet ?
sorry but I am from italy so my english is not very good .
thank you
ciao
Paola
Paola,
I believe based on the caffeine content in pu-erh tea it dos stimulate the digestive system and aids in constipation.
Dandelion tea and Nettle tea do the same thing if not better than Chickwood tea and you cannot find Chickwood tea anywhere, not even the health food stores.
“Chickweed contain chemicals called nitrates, using chickweed in excess can cause nitrate poisoning .Some cases of nitrate poisoning have been reported in humans – particularly in infants who are less than six months old…”
what brand of tea are these where to buy them.
Hello, I am a 36 5’2 206lb women with health problems. I have RA and and have had my hip replaced 2 time in the last 2 years. I walk on a cane and really need to lose alot of weight. So can I drink all of these tea’s and take the raspberry keytons?? Thank you
Tonya
Where can I purchase this great pU-reh tea? Please advise. Thank you
I went to china town and checked a few stores for pu reh tea, only found tea bag version, is there a difference between the tea bag version and the tea cake?
Go to mountainroseherbs.com THEY HAVE EVERYTHING YOUR LOOKING FOR AND MORE!!!! You will be amazed at the prices!!!!
Good luck ladies keep in touch on here with updates on the tea venture
Bilberry Leaf tea or Bilberry Fruit tea?
I ordered pu erh tea off of amazon. I ordered tea bags instead of cake- just seemed easier. Smells like manure or cattle farm… I assume that is the fermented part… Ferment usually smells sweet I thought. Any comments or suggestions?
I found the pu-erh tea, white tea, bliberry tea and the raw coconut sugar at the Vitamin Shoppe
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE TRY THE TEA, DOES IT GIVE YOU HEART PALPITATIONS? I’M SO AFRAID OF THAT.
THANKS;-)
i want to get the pu-erh tea and the chickweed tea. i hope they are good and hopefully i won’t get any heart palpitations!
please let me know if any of you have tried it..thanks again;-)
I am very sensitive to any food or drink that contains mold through fermentation. Does the PU-erh have mold?
No palpitations Jazmin
Check out the thewhistlingkettle.com (The Whistling Kettle) which has some amazing Pu-Erh teas, especially ones with some added ingredients that masks the earthy flavor of Pu-Erh. Plenty of White teas, including a White Matcha (which is white tea ground into a concentrated fine powder) – you could easily put that in a shake or fruit smoothie. they are really good about answering specific questions.
THANK YOU TINA;-)
I am Canadian, does anyone know where you can get all these teas here?
Morgan Cha Tea Green
On my box of PU-ERH TEA it said to steep it for 5-10 minutes hope this helps.
i order my boxes of pu-erh and chickweed tea. can’t wait to try them;-) if anyone has try them for atleast a week let me know if you have lost weight..THANKS;-)
On March 8, 2012
Michelle here I found all teas on the Numi Tea Site and they had all side effects and favors for Green, Black, White, Herbal now if I Could find one to help us get rid of Our Nagging Cold Vs
Having to take medicine. And if anyone has been lucky to hear from Dr. Oz let him know I am still waiting.
Sincerely yours,
Michelle
were can i buy thease teas in Toronto Ontario Canada?
Can someone please tell me how much tea leaves to use … Thank you
Usually its 1 tsp per cup, but there should be specific directions for steeping time and temperature…
i don’t know anything about the tea leaves. thats why i got the tea bags it’s easyer;-)
Actually loose tea is much better – bagged tea is usually the low end grades. The ‘dust’ grade also looses potency quicker. Loose tea contains more essential oils, thus more health benefits. Kind of like instant coffee versus fresh ground beans.
Hi Brian, how much of the loose tea you have to use? do you have to measure it?
thanks;-)
Does anyone know if Bilberry Leaf Tea and Bilberry Fruit Tea are the same thing?
On March 10, 2012
What flavored does Pu-erh Tea come in and does it come in green not just black and Decafe
as well as with Caffeine as well as all of the teas that we saw on Dr. Oz’s Show and where can we get them we haven’t been able to find them.
Michelle
I live in Miami and have checked everywhere for this Chickweed tea. Noone has even heard of it, let alone carry it. You can’t even really find it online. By the way I went to the Teavana store for the Pu-erh tea and they recommend the oolong tea as this does not cause heart palpitations and are much more effective than the Pu-erh.
Terri,
Michelle thank you for the update but I had the OOLONG and it tast bad I found Billberry at a health Food store but was pricey so I didn’t get it but the others on the site can tell you where to get all as they order online as I shop locally. And PU- era does come in Green Tea and many Flavors yet Dr. Oz recommended the Choclate on his show from Feb 23, 2012
Michelle
Michelle, I’m drinking the oolong tea now and it tastes pretty good. I have the fruity flavor though. This you can get at the Teavana store, where they have different flavors of the Oolong. (I don’t like bland, teas, tend to go more for the fruity flavor) As far as the Puerh, I have had this in the past and always get the strawberry flavor which is great. I did have an increase in heart rate in the beginning but ended after a week or so. Because of this I decided to try the Oolong. Just wish I can find this Chickweed but think I’m going to try the Dandelion as Avery in an earlier post recommended. After doing some research seems like it has the same effects as the Chickweed. Will try it and let you guys know.
Terri,
1. Type ‘chickweed tea’ in google and you’ll find it. Note – chickweed is not tea, but an herb – so traditional tea stores will not carry it.
2. I would not shop at Teavana. Most employees there know very little about tea, and the prices are double that of other retailers. They operate on commission and will do what ever it takes to make you buy a lot. Pu-Erh has UNIQUE properties that Oolong doesn’t have because it is fermented. Both Oolong and Pu-Erh contain caffeine, which is what causes heart palpitations for people sensitive to caffeine. They are two totally different teas with different health benefits.
Terri,
Where did you get the Oolong? Oolong comes in so many different varieties that you cannot judge by one try. That’s like saying wine tastes bad, based on trying out a jug of Carlo Rossi. I do stand corrected, Pu-Erh does come in green, but it’s not as easy to find. The flavored types are usually almost always the dark versions.
Terri,
Michelle don’t for get about the white teas as they are to do the same as Billberry.
Someone here said that we could get all at Wal-Mart I just emailed Numi Tea Yesterday
and asked them and they are looking into it.
Michelle
Hi all I Just Heard From LUCKY VITAMINES AND THEY HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT PU-erh
TEAS.
Michelle
Your better going off to a loose leaf supplier than a health food store, which is all bagged.
Loose is also cheaper per serving, and fresher.
@Brian. Thanks. Good info on Teavana. They are a really expensive store and they do push their teas a lot stating that they are better than everyone else. I’ll admit I do like their teas though. I bought the oolong from Teavana. The flavor is called Kamiya Papaya. The flavor is pretty good but I do prefer their Strawberry Pu-erh. I love the Dr. Oz show but some of the products they recommend are sending people into a frenzy trying to find them. I don’t think they are very clear on where to purchase. For example, they said you can purhcase the Chickweed tea at Tea shops. Well I think we all now know that is false.
I typically can find Teavana alternatives that cost much less – the thing is, they purposely make their names unique, when the underlying tea is the same or almost the same. It makes it much harder to compare. My local tea shop has made me custom blends based on teavana samples I brought, or I either found alternatives or they searched through their network of suppliers for something the same. Teavana has a sort of predator like attitude, and especially with people that know nothing about tea. I spoke to the owners of the shop by me and they said they get tons of people due to Dr. Oz, but would never carry Chickweed by itself, because it’s not easy to get, doesn’t taste great and once the fad is over they will sit on tons of stuff. However, they are looking into a tea WITH bilberry in it.
To All Dr.Oz Fan’s Michelle,
I know that you don’t care for Tea Bags but I found Chickweed and Billberry in Our One Health
Food Store…..
Michelle
Hi everyone i just got my tea an i got the pu erh tea, chickweed organic and bilbery leaf organic at Mountain rose herbs.com….
Gil
This Pu-reh Tea along with the White Tea is WONDERFUL.
I love the detox method of the tea (Pu-reh). I can feel the difference.
I have been drinking for 7 days and I can feel and see my stomach flatter.
I have a super food drink in the morning drink my Pu-reh tea all morning (8am-10am).
Even have some oatmeal Great energetic morning!
Thanks for the tips and good words.
Ms.MJ
Very Grateful
On March 15, 2012, from Michelle:
MJ,
Michelle I am glad that you found you teas I hope we will soon.
Michelle
To all other Dr.Oz Fans should you all reach him let him know that I would love to hear from Him and like so many of you we are having trouble finding them in town like so many other things that he told us all about.
Michelle
Are you suppose to take all these teas in a day to help loose weight?
Tina- We bought the puh-erh tea in cakes. When it’s brewed It smells like a horse barn, and taste as bad as it smells. I did not want to add milk or sugar, so another alternative is squeezing a lemon wedge into the tea. Leave the lemon in it. This way when you drink it all you can smell is lemon!
On March 17, 2012, from Nichelle:
We just found Our Chiclate PU-erh yesterday but it was the bagged one by Numi.
I can’t say that I feel any difference yet as we just tried it this morning.
Michelle
I would suggest ordering one of the flavored tea from thewhistlingkettle.com – you wont have the horse barn smell…the Scottish Caramel and the Strawberry Mango are pretty sweet. It makes it actually a pleasant beverage to drink!
Thank you Dr. Oz for the sound advise on the Pu-erh tea. Again, it’s been working on my detox. White tea is a good later drink. This is going on my 2 week. Love It
Michelle, glad you found your tea. 2cups in the morn. Remember the 1cup white tea
After. Ive notice the difference in two days. Keep the tea see what happens in a few days. If you eat some super foods and plenty of good water,they’ll be calling you slim soon enough.
Ms. MJ
Good Morning MJ,
Michelle we haven’t bougt the white yet just starting with The PU-erh and
We drink a lot of water as that was what we did for over thirty years as that was
Our Business.
Michelle
I would like to purchase alll of these teas. Where can i find all of these teas on one web site.I have searched so many sites.
Some the sites were already mentioned – problem is most TEA places wont sell things like billberry or chickweed, that is more of an herbal/healthfood store type of place. And these places usually sell bagged tea like pu-erh, which I don’t recommend.
Darlene,
Michelle I found them at a local health food store but I got PU- erh in Tea Bags so I could
get it for the others I haven’t bought them yet and the one I won’t as there are side effects
even tho it’s a tea so read everything before buying. Num.’s Site Has all if you do online shopping.
Michelle
have any of you loss weight on this tea?
Jazmin, I have been on the Pu-erh tea and the white tea for about a month and I have lost around 7 pounds. But I have also been on the raspberry keytons pills. I have also dropped a whole pants size too. I don’t exercise either I’m 36 and have to have a cain to walk with. So I know if I was able to exercise I would of lost alot more weight. Hope this helps you!!!!!!!
Jazmin,
Michelle unlike Tonya I can’t say but I feel as if I have I haven’t been exercising do to
pain and being sick but I didn’t have enough to tell you as I and my mom both used it
and ran out of it fast. And have been sick so we haven’t gone hunting for it again as for the
Key ton Pills I won’t take them if you know anyone that has had Diabetics All their life you
know that they must watch them closely so be careful.
Michelle
Michelle, I have high BP, RA and I have diabetes so I did ask my doctor and he was fine with me taking the keytones.
Tony a
Michelle not to speak out of turn as we don’t know each other but I just
know about Diabetics as My Older Sister has had it for forty- four years so
she has Juvinile Diabetics or as they say today Type 1 not Adult onset or Type Two
plus three other family members as well. So when some try a quick fix I worry so I hope
that you get to feeling better I know what it is like to feel bad. I have a rare disease and have
life long health problems so I feel for others in the same vote as I and My Family.
Michelle
I went to my local tea shop (thewhistlingkettle.com) and he said he is working on a Bilberry infused matcha tea. If you look up matcha you will see it is very effective for diabetes…anyway he said it would be a few more weeks until he has everything tested but he said it looks promising..matcha and billberry in one.
Good Morning Brian Michelle,
Thank You For The Information But I Didn’t Need This One It Was One Of
The Other Dr.Oz Fans.
Michelle
OMG tonya thats great. i got the tea and took them like 3 times. i’m not really a tea person but if it’s to loose weight bring it on..lol..i guess i have to start drinking them tea. now on the raspberry keytons pills, do you get heart palpitation? i’m so afraid of that. and do you have to do exercise while taking the fat burner rasberry keytons pills?
by the way we the same age..lol
thanks;-)
THANKS MICHELLE;-)
Jazmin,
Michelle please be careful of the key tons my friend from one that has palbatitions
do to health, I wouldn’t take it until I would talk to your Doctor.
If you and the others don’t hear from me it’s because we are having a mad storm once again
which may end up being a third Tornado in a month.
Michelle
Jazim, I don’t have any side affects from the pills. I was very worried about the samething. I did see where a lot of people was getting the 500mg. But I didn’t I got the 250mg. The only thing that I see is that sometimes I sweat but nothing other than that. Oh and no I don’t exercise it is very hard for me to. I have a lot of health problems So at this time I’m not about to do any. Just drinking the tea and taking the raspberry keytones. I do try and watch what I’m eating so I’m not sure what I’m doing other then the tea and the pills to be losing the weight but something is taking it off. But I’m not complaining LOL if you have any other questions just let me know. I hope and wish you well because every little bit helps Good luck!!!!!!!!
Hey ladies, @ michelle i will have to ask my doctor cause last year i was hospitalize with (Atrial fibrillation) thats an irregular heart beat. that’ why i’m always asking if anything doctor oz recomends gives heart palpitation..lol @ TANYA if i do get the keytons pills i will get the lower dosage too until i see how it works. and you said something about sweating i think tha’s when your burning FAT from your body, AWESOME;-) well ladies i gotta go.
