Tea drinkers

What kind of teas are you drinking?

 I'm not really sure what is allowed or not allowed at this point as far as herbal teas go. Do we really have any restrictions (besides caffeine)?

 

TIA

I've been drinking decaf English breakfast tea.  The only tea I've really been avoiding is Throat Coat, which normally I use to control my heartburn, because it has liquorice in it and that's supposed to cause early labor and stupid babies.  I've chamomile once or twice to help me all asleep.  Beyond that, I don't know about herbals, I tend to avoid what I don't know about.

I drink regular lipton tea with caffine in it!! usually I have a cup or two a day....I love coffee but it gives me terrible heartburn this time around or I'd be drinking a couple cups a day!

I drink decaf black tea (Earl gray, English breakfast). I've stayed away from herbal teas, but only because I haven?t found any good loose-leaf tea places. I'd kill for some quality peppermint or rooibos tea.

I have been drinking decaf black tea as well as Peppermint tea. I haven't heard anything bad about herbal teas. Worth researching though.

I've been downing blueberry, raspberry, raspberry leaf and apple cinnamon. The apple has chamomile in it but not the "medicinal quantities" that are of any concern. I also have peppermint, decaf ear grey an decaf chai.

In the morning I usually drink 1 cup English breakfast with caffine. Others that I drink throughout the day or at night are Nettle and raseberry. Those are caffine free.

I drink rooibos like it is going out of style.  We use Simpson Vail for most of our loose-leaf tea.  It's a small company in CT.  We mail order it all the time, and they're pretty reasonably priced. DH has used Adagio teas, which if you do some searching you can find a $5 off coupon for your 1st order.  They're pretty good too.

These past two weeks I've been really enjoying ginger/lemon tea. Tastes so good and makes me nice and warm on chilly mornings.

I drink red raspberry leaf tea. It's decaffinated, and many natural birth proponents recommend it because it helps to tone your uterus and prepare it for labor.  I will also occasionally drink decaf green tea and chamomile.

Raspberry zinger tea and Organic Pregnancy Tea.  Both were recommended by other pregnant women I know.

Right now I am addicted to Teavana's Superfruit Unity.  It's a green tea, so I can't have too much, but I would drink it all day if I could.

I drink black and green tea with caffeine only 1-10oz cup a day, but not every day maybe like 3 times a week.

I have been drinking regular Lipton tea but decaf. I was told to avoid anything containing Green Tea because it blocks your bodies absorption of folic acid.

Is that a joke?

Lots and lots of decaf! English breakfast, earl grey, vanilla chai...ok, sometimes the chai is not decaf.

as long as you don't drink the green tea within a few hours of taking folic acid you should be fine. They just need to be spaced apart.

I really like the teas at David's Tea.  They have a bunch that are safe for pregnant women.  We have a store in the mall where I live and I just ask them.  My favourites are the  Green & Fruity  and the  Organic Three Lemon Green - both are make with Green Roobios.  If you don't have one in your area you can order online at https://www.davidstea.com/
