Summary

This herbal tea contains a variety of beneficial natural ingredients such as lemongrass, orange peel, and hawthorn, which contribute to its antioxidant properties. However, the presence of 'natural flavors' introduces a level of processing that detracts from the overall natural quality of the product. Despite its beneficial components, the tea is classified as ultra-processed, which limits its score due to the potential inclusion of highly processed additives.
