What kind of tea are you drinking?

MrsDee1982

I've never been much of a tea person, preferring coffee.  

I am trying to avoid caffeine.  I know that up to 200 is safe for most, but my doctor has recommended I avoid it due to my history.  

Now that it is cold, I'd like something to sip on.  What is your, preferably caffeine free, tea these days?

Vanilla roohibos... I've only ever seen it at whole foods

Any fruit tees especially constant comments hibiscus tea. Though I read hibiscus is iffy during pregnancy

Decaf earl grey w milk. Always a fave.

Twinnings Decaf English Breakfast with honey. The stronger flavor the better.

Sometimes I have chamomile. But I drank regular Twinnings EB every AM prepregnancy, and have been able to fool myself. (of course until 3pm rolls around and then I'm in trouble). There are occasional mornings where I just break out the good stuff. And use my aerolatte to froth some milk.

Definitely a fan of earl grey tea. It's one of my faves!

Hmm, I wonder if my store sells decaf earl grey or english breakfast teas.  I'll check this weekend, and if not, I'm sure amazon does.  Thanks ladies!

I just got a bunch from Teavana! White chocolate peppermint, pumpkin spice brûlée, Zanzibar ginger coconut, honey bush vanilla, and chai roobios. All are decaf and delicious!

I was just trying to see if I could find anything about the peach tea from teavana. I know some stuff can be harmful during pregnancy. I just got some and it smells so good!

Yes!!! That's the one!!! I found the ingredients in it but I'm not sure if any of it isn't safe

Peppermint and raspberry leaf. (Raspberry tones uterine muscles)

The ingredients look safe to me. I know chamomile is on the "moderation" list, but as long as you're not drinking cups and cups of it all day everyday, you're probably fine. Ask you doctor if you're unsure, though!

Decaf green and earl grey, every now and then some mint, and the peach tranquility mentioned above are my faves!

Double spice chai. Caffeine. Half and half. Stevia. Or no happy mommy.

I love mint tea! It calms the stomach and is a perfect solution to chilly days. I also think it has a bit of a psychological effect making me think I feel more awake (even though it's caffeine free) because of the warmth and strong peppermint smell!

I love peppermint too but haven't found a caffeine free variety! Some good suggestions here. Wish we had a Teavana.

You can order online!    Do you still have GE's in the middle of PA?  They carry a caffeine-free peppermint tea.

Really?! Peppermint tea is naturally caffeine free. I would check the organic section of your grocery store!

Celestial Seasonings has a caffeine free peppermint tea. I also LOVE mint medley by Bigelow.
