Twinings Detox, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Detox is the name on the box, and teas.co.uk does not claim it as an effect. Twinings describes slightly sweet fennel with smooth lemon flavour and ginger that is gentle and warming rather than overpowering; I am treating that as the maker’s description, not our own tasting trial. Twinings labels this herbal infusion naturally caffeine free. The authorised nutrition statement is that selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. I am making no detox, renewal, digestive, laxative, bloating or after meal claim, nor any other.
Twinings Detox, in brief.
Twinings Detox is a lemon-flavoured herbal infusion with burdock root, fennel, ginger and added selenium, supplied as 20 individually enveloped tea bags in a 40g box.
Twinings describes slight sweetness from fennel with smooth lemon flavour and ginger that is gentle and warming rather than overpowering. This is manufacturer wording, not a teas.co.uk tasting trial or score.
Use freshly boiled water and infuse one bag for at least 3 minutes. Twinings currently labels the blend naturally caffeine free, suitable for vegans and sugar free.
Claim boundary: Nothing here should be read as a claim: Detox is simply what the product is called, and teas.co.uk does not say it detoxifies the body or has digestive, laxative, bloating or renewing effects. The authorised nutrition statement is: Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Product boundary: Detox is only a product name, one that Twinings chose. teas.co.uk is not saying the infusion detoxifies the body or has a digestive, laxative, bloating or renewing effect, or any other effect.
