The \"cleanse\" claim is marketing rather than science (your liver and kidneys do that), but as a refreshing herbal blend the components are real Caribbean tradition.

No tea blend \"flushes toxins\" or \"cleanses\" in any biological sense.\nWhat Tropical Sun Cleanse actually does:\n Hydrates (it's tea, adds fluid). Provides mild digestive support. Mild diuretic effect (more frequent urination, not \"detox\"). Traditional Caribbean herbal experience. Refreshing low calorie alternative to soft drinks.\n\nCurator Rating: 4.9/5 (good blend, oversold marketing). How it tastes \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
