I used this as part of a cleanse with other products. I'm not entirely sure which product caused what, but I lost 10 lbs in a month and my bloodwork came back with noticeable improvements.  I believe this tea is what caused me to lose weight. I drank a big cup made with 2 teabags each morning. Note that I believe this causes a trip to the restroom within 30 minutes of consuming. I don't think this should be drank indefinitely because of that, but it did what it was supposed to.
