Pique Fasting Tea: How tea can support intermittent fasting

If you practice intermittent fasting, you’ve likely looked for ways to make fasting windows feel more comfortable and sustainable. While water is essential, many people turn to tea as a supportive ritual during fasting hours. Take a look at our Pique fasting tea review.

Back in 2019, we reviewed Pique Cinnamon Fasting Tea and were impressed by how satisfying it felt during a fast. Since then, Pique Tea has expanded its fasting tea collection, working with fasting expert Dr. Jason Fung, MD, to create several blends designed specifically for fasting.

This updated guide takes a fresh look at Pique fasting tea, including ingredients, benefits, and what real users say.

What Is Pique Fasting Tea?

Pique’s fasting teas are ultra-clean tea blends designed to be consumed during a fasting window without adding sugar, sweeteners, or significant calories. They’re intended to support:

• Hydration
• Craving management
• Digestive comfort
• Calm or sustained energy (depending on the blend)

All Pique teas come in instant crystal form, dissolving easily in hot or cold water, and are triple toxin screened for pesticides, heavy metals, and mold.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is the practice of reducing or eliminating your food intake for a period of time. There are various ways to do it, and many people rave about its effects on their energy, weight, and overall vitality.

During fasting windows, non-caloric beverages like water, plain tea, and black coffee are commonly used to help manage hunger and stay hydrated. Herbal teas can offer warmth, flavor, and comfort without stimulating blood sugar.

As we continue to research the best ways to support our bodies while fasting, we found claims that drinking tea is a miracle boost to supporting a successful fast. Of course, we had to test that theory.

The Whole30 plan recommends drinking herbal tea when you have one of those inevitable sugar cravings. We were already avid herbal tea drinkers before starting an annual Whole30, but we never appreciated the value of it until going off sugar cold-turkey for 30 days!

Pique’s Fasting Tea Options

Their current lineup includes four fasting teas. Flavors include Cinnamon, Bergamot, Ginger, and Green Tea. Here’s a deeper look at each of them.

Pique Cinnamon Herbal Fasting Tea (Caffeine-Free)

The main tea ingredient we found to really help curb sugar cravings was cinnamon. Cinnamon has been called “nature’s gastric band” because of its ability to suppress the appetite. It also has numerous health benefits like reducing risk of heart disease, improving insulin sensitivity, and lowering blood sugar levels. It’s also packed with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

In Chinese Medicine, cinnamon is recommended to warm the digestive system, treat kidney and bladder function, and also help with skin infections and arthritic pain.

The combination of Eastern and Western herbal ingredients in Pique’s cinnamon fasting tea each have remarkable benefits on their own, but the magic comes when they’re added together.

• Burdock Root: Loaded with polyphenols like quercetin, luteolin and phenolic acid, this burdock tea has been used for digestion support in Japan, Korea and China for centuries. It has a smooth, woody and pleasant flavor.
• Cinnamon: Cassia cinnamon and fasting are a powerful combination. Also an essential ingredient in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, it adds a subtle spice to this root based tea.
• Whole Italian Bergamot: Popular in aromatherapy, bergamot is calming and relaxing. Our whole ground bergamot rind is from Calabria, Italy, a source of unparalleled quality, adding a new dimension of nuanced tartness to this blend.
• Spearmint: A secret originating from geishas in Edo Japan, a leaf of spearmint is placed in the mouth and chewed before dinner for its appetite satisfying properties.

We can certainly attest it has a noticeable positive effect on energy, which is especially useful during extended fast period… plus it tastes amazing. It’s been shown to help:

✓ Increase Satiety
✓ Support Restful Sleep
✓ Calm
✓ Manage Cravings
✓ Make Night Fasting Comfortable

Many reviewers say this tea helps reduce sugar cravings and provides a comforting ritual without caffeine. Because it’s tannin-free and herbal, it’s also gentle on an empty stomach. Find their Cinnamon Fasting Tea here.

Bergamot Black Fasting Tea

This is Pique’s most energizing fasting tea, made with organic black tea and whole bergamot rind.

Support healthy digestion and metabolism with nature’s probiotics and polyphenols (theaflavins). Black tea caffeine provides a boost of vital energy – without the jitters. Calabrian Bergamot rind contains powerful oils to support mood, satiety, and digestion.

Why people choose it:
The flavor is bold and satisfying. It’s similar to an elevated Earl Grey, and it contains more caffeine than the green or herbal options.

This tea may be a good fit if you:

• Prefer black tea over coffee
• Fast during busy mornings
• Want a stronger, more traditional tea taste

Ginger Fasting Green Tea

This blend combines green tea with ginger, citrus peel, mint, and supportive botanicals.

Green tea has been used by monks for centuries as a fasting aid. It supports healthy digestion and metabolism with green tea polyphenols (catechins). Ginger has been used for centuries to soothe and nourish the gut. Plus mint, licorice and citrus peels to support satiety during fasting.

Why people choose it:
Ginger is traditionally used to support digestion, while green tea provides a mild caffeine lift. Reviewers often mention that it feels lighter than coffee and less harsh on the stomach.

This tea works well for:

• Morning fasting windows
• Those who want gentle energy
• People who enjoy a fresh, citrus-ginger profile

Matcha Fasting Green Tea

Pique’s matcha fasting tea blends ceremonial-grade matcha with green tea and soothing botanicals.

Why it stands out:
Matcha contains L-theanine, which many people associate with calm focus rather than jittery energy. Reviewers often note that this matcha feels smoother and easier to tolerate while fasting compared to traditional matcha drinks.

Best for:

• Focused workdays
• Late-morning fasting
• People who want calm, sustained energy
