A natural, organic, and herbal detoxifying tea designed to help the body gently cleanse. The herbs selected focus on supporting cell regeneration and promoting blood circulation improving skin quality and texture (Burdock Root). What ingredients make this tea great for skin? 

A 2010 literature review concluded that burdock root was found to "promote blood circulation to the skin surface, improve skin quality/texture and [improve] skin diseases like eczema.

Calendula has also been shown to offer a natural skin protection against UV radiation and inflammation such as acne. 

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) has long been held in high regard for having detoxification properties and is packed with potent alkaloids, minerals, and vitamins.

For the scientific literature- see the 'research section below'.

What does it taste like?

For a detoxifying tea blend this tea is actually quite pleasant and easy to drink! You can taste the healthy-ness from all the detoxifying ingredients, however, there's a delicate lemon-y and herbal flavour profile to it.

No. This tea is completely caffeine-free so safe to drink in the evenings.

A 2010 literature review [1] concluded that burdock was found to "promote blood circulation to the skin surface, improve skin quality/texture and [improve] skin diseases like eczema".

A 2013 study [2] found rats who were given dandelion root experienced significant liver protection. A study in 2000 [3] found promising results for limonene (found in lemon peel) to have potent anti-cancerous properties.

A 2006 literature review [4] concluded that Calendula (also known as Marigold) could offer skin protection against UV radiation, inflammation and potentially acne (note that these were animal or in-vitro studies not human trials, but findings are promising). Several studies have been published suggesting rhubarb root might help heal cold sores and improve movement of the intestines. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) has long been held in high regard for having detoxification properties and is packed with potent alkaloids, minerals, and vitamins [5].
