While I could go on forever about the benefits of Green Tea, this sounds vaguely like the "Slimming teas" typical sold in Chinatowns across America, which have the primary ingredients of a substance called "Senna."
I have had vast experience firsthand with this substance, and I report that it is most unpleasant, and does not have the desired effect of weight loss.
Essentially, it's a rather powerful laxative, and there's about a dozen reasons why using laxatives as a vehicle to lose weight is a bad idea.
Check this out.

This semi-fermented tea is gaining a considerable amount of popularity lately due to its benefits as a weight loss aid. This tea features a strong flavor and refreshing aftertaste.

I worked in an office environment years ago and a few of us tried that diet tea together. We didn't know it was a powerful laxative.
That was an interesting day!
Good laugh later on though.

No quick fixes unfortunately and especially not in a tea-bag. However white, green, black, and oo-long teas have all been shown to help regulate blood sugars in general.
Hey Fred,
Can't believe I missed saying hello to you at camp. One of your students came up and introduced herself but mentioned you weren't there that day. I guess you came the next and I missed you. Anyway - Hello!

Yes Dotty trained at the Mattson academy in the late 60's took 30 years off and now training well.
She was late getting to your class because it took a while to get off that red man suit!
Sorry I missed you. I got in a horrible traffic mess and missed all Saturday afternoon as well.

I've heard mixed things about slimming teas,[https://dayslimmingtea.com/] especially those with senna. Always good to research thoroughly and maybe consult a healthcare pro before trying.

Senna, the fruit or leaf of the plant Senna alexandrina, is approved in the US as a laxative for short-term treatment of constipation. It shouldn't be used for more than 1 week. It has no proven benefits for weight loss.
