These would get a 5 star out of me if their tea bag packaging wasn't so terrible. Unfortunately, they are all strung together, so you have to cut them with scissors to ensure they tear correctly. If you tear them without scissors, the tea bag will open and the tea will fall out. Otherwise, I will say this is great tasting --- it's green tea with a spicy kick... something I really enjoy. I don't know if it's slimming, but it does taste great.
