Saviour Tea Review - Part 1

Today, I bring you something a little different from my blog. I'm going to be sharing with you guys my review of the Saviour Tea range.

For those of you who don't know, Saviour Tea is a sports tea company currently offering four unique blends which are specially formulated to enhance one key bodily function. Each of their teas only contains natural ingredients and do not contain any artificial colours, flavours, chemicals or preservatives. 


Okay, so, before I start, I want to make it clear that I have no connections or personal involvement with Saviour Tea. This review is totally based off my personal opinion. 

A little over a month ago, I received four sample packs from Saviour Tea. Each of the sample packs were different blends from their range and contained two tea bags. I also received an information booklet telling me about the benefits of each of the teas, and the ingredients they contained. 

The first thing that struck me was the overall quality of the product. Right away you can tell that this is a good quality product. You can tell that no expense was spared on the packaging of the product. The tea bags were silk pyramid shaped tea bags and you could clearly see all of the ingredients that were contained in each of the bags. 

I really liked the design of this product as well. The graphics they use are quite simplistic but it works extremely well. Just by looking at the front of the packaging, it entices you in to find out more about the product.  Even the information leaflet I received was very well put together. Very easy to read and gets straight to the point about each of the products. 

As I stated previously, there are four unique blends which are said to enhance one key bodily function. They are:
  • HYDRATION - Helps to keep you sufficiently hydrated 
  • RECOVERY - Helps to promote relaxation
  • ENERGY - Helps to naturally energise the body
  • METABOLIC - Helps with weight management 
Next, I'll tell you some more about each of the teas and the ingredients they contain. 

HYDRATION

"Our Hydration Tea is naturally caffeine free. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, which is useful for other functions but its absence from this blend makes it perfect for hydrating the body. Use throughout the day or specifically before and after exercise to quench thirst and refresh the body."

They recommend that you use the tea either before or after exercise. Although, they do also say you can use it anytime throughout the day, and can be drunk up to a maximum of six times per day.

If you would like to find out more information about each of the products, you can find that HERE.

I didn't plan to make this a two part review, but if I didn't, the complete review would be massive. A little too big to read without you falling asleep. I hope from this first part you gained a sense of what the product is about and in the second part I will give you my opinion on each of the products. I also have a short interview with Ollie who is the head of Saviour Tea. I can't wait to release the second part and you can expect that next week.

Catch you later,

Giordano
