Tropical Sun Wellbeing, 20 Tea Bags 40g
The packaging talks about cardiovascular strength and a "liquid defence system", and I will be blunt: no tea does any of that, and you should treat those words as marketing, not fact. What is actually in the cup is a mellow six-herb blend, gentle, mildly green, lightly citrusy, pleasant enough but unremarkable, with a little caffeine from the green element. Drink it because you fancy a soft, mild herbal cup, not for anything it claims to do for your heart. Our verdict: fine, forgettable, and badly oversold.
Tropical Sun Wellbeing, in brief.
Tropical Sun Wellbeing is the multi herb daily cup made by Tropical Sun, a blend in Caribbean style of moringa leaf, soursop leaf, lemongrass and ginger, which teas.co.uk selected as a proper West Indian style herbal alternative to the Twinings Superblends or Pukka multi herb blends.
The recipe leans on the West Indian and West African herbal tradition rather than the European one, with moringa leaf providing the structural backbone, soursop leaf adding the soft tropical character that distinguishes it from a plain European herbal, lemongrass brightening the top and ginger sitting underneath as a faint warming layer. Tropical Sun supply the Caribbean diaspora kitchens across the UK and US, the recipe a sensible daily cup rather than a one-off treatment.
This twenty bag Tropical Sun household pack costs little and is a proper Caribbean import for anyone wanting a real moringa and soursop daily cup at home rather than over engineered British supermarket blends, plus a sensible introduction to West Indian herbal flavours.
Tropical Sun Wellbeing is a six herb blend for people who like plant based flavours as part of an ordinary day. This warming infusion brings together a blend of six herbs, put together for a rounded, warming cup. It suits the drinker who treats the daily tea break as time set aside for a proper cup. Anyone who wants a dependable warm cup each day will find Tropical Sun Wellbeing an easy fit.

Measure: Rest one string and tag bag in a favourite mug that you have pre warmed. Water: Use freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius (or slightly lower to preserve green tea sweetness). Pour: Send the water straight over the bag to bring out the plant compounds. Steep: Wait for 5 minutes to allow the complex six herb blend to fully hydrate and reach maximum potency. Herbalist Secret: Wellbeing is best enjoyed plain, strictly speaking. If you prefer a softer finish, add a small spoonful of honey while the liquor is warm to highlight the natural citrus notes. The Prep: Steeping one bag of Wellbeing in 150ml of hot water for a full 5 minutes gives a concentrated botanical base. The Chill: Pour over a glass filled with ice and top with a splash of cold sparkling water. The Result: A light and bubbly iced herbal tea that keeps its flavour and gives a cool summer drink.The Story Behind the Tropical Sun
