Last month I was approached by Newport Skinny Tea to help them promote their new Mermaid Cove Metabolism Boosting Coffee Scrub. I was also sent their Mermaid Cove Metabolism Tea to test and review. Both are designed to complement each other, they help the body detoxify and become better at fat burning. I was so excited to receive the Coffee Scrub, I have never tried a product like this before. If you have been reading my blogs for awhile, then you would know I am no stranger to “Teatox Teas”. I have tried my fair share of them now.
The Mermaid Cove Metabolism Tea is not really a detox tea (Newport Skinny Tea has another tea for detox purposes!) I have not had the same “cleansing” effects as other teas I have tried. But again, this is not their “Skinny Tea”. This tea is a true energy booster. I have a serious problem when it comes to over eating and keeping my energy levels up. Since I am in the home almost all day everyday, I tend to over snack or consume large amounts of food at one time out of sheer boredom. Oh, and I rarely have energy to do much of anything unless I drink coffee. I have weeks where I drink a cup of coffee every morning, but it seems that before too long I start to feel terrible from it. I have a very low tolerance for caffeine, so I have the issue with not being able to drink coffee too late in the day, or I will be up all night like a toddler that ate candy before bed. This Mermaid Cove Metabolism Tea is perfect for me. It gives me a great boost of energy, but somehow has a different feel than I get from coffee. The taste of this tea is so great; I would say it’s equal parts fruity and floral! You can really taste the hibiscus flowers and ginger root! Even if there weren’t loads of great ingredients in this tea, I would still drink it because of the flavor. I drink a Hibiscus tea on the regular, and this one will definitely be taking it’s place. Goodbye, old store bought tea. This is a loose leaf tea so you will need a tea infuser. I have the Manatea Infuser by Fred and Friends. I mean, how cute is this little guy?! Ahhh I just love him. I heat my water up in the microwave, and then let one to two tablespoons steep for about three to five minutes. For your first few cups, I would use less tea and steep for less time until you find a good strength that fits your taste and energy needs.
The Mermaid Cove Metabolism Boosting Coffee Scrub really intrigued me. It states that it: *Helps diminish cellulite appearance, scarring, and stretch marks; *Helps detoxify body and skin; *Helps tighten skin and leaves it glowing. With that being said, I don’t think I have been using this product long enough to see my cellulite, scars and stretch marks diminish. But, I will say that the scrub leaves my skin feeling tighter, smooth and glowy! The smell of this scrub is wonderful: it’s like the love child of Starbucks and a Spa! However, it is veryyy messy so I would suggest you apply it in a bath tub. I like to run a hot bath, soak for a few minutes to open up my pores, and then rub the scrub on and relax for 15 minutes.
So, is it a Yay or Nay on Newport Skinny Tea? Yay all the way. Not only do I like the products, but the price is so right. Especially when compared to their competitors! The Mermaid Cove Coffee Scrub retails for $18, and the Mermaid Cove Metabolism Tea retails for $25.

I haven’t heard of this brand. I tried the Bootea Detox and it was good but I couldn’t always finish the tea because of the taste. Lol I’m not a tea person. But I’m always looking for a good skin care product.
Whitney says
This tea is so sweet! The other brands I have tried I always end up adding lemon. Newport is so floral and sweet!

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon every day. It’s always helpful to read content from other authors and practice something from other sites.
