If you have a medical or academic source for that, I'd love to read it. I did research and could only find this tea mentioned on no-name websites. The closest I could find was this article about dandelion tea from Livestrong, but even that has no sources and mentions 'purported' benefits rather than giving any evidence

It reduces uric acid levels among other benefits.
