Tea Recommendations

Hello My Dear Friends!

 

Are there some tea recommendations that you can give me? I am currently drinking Stash and while it's OK their green jasmine has a bitter after taste. Does anyone have any recommendations for tea that they love? I'm just looking for ideas... I generally like most flavors of tea and like trying new ones. I used to drink a genmaicha tea from the Asian market but since I cannot read their labels as it is written in a foreign language I have no idea if it is safe.  :D

If you like different kinds of teas, check out Teavana.  They are now owned by starbucks, woohoo, but at their Teavana stores they have really good service and they have all kinds of teas.  Can be pricey but with moderation it isn't too bad.  ( All are gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link)

Numi makes an excellent tea. Their organic jasmine green is lovely. The dragon jasmine pearls tea from Teavana is also excellent, although pricey.

I LOVE Stash and their decaf Earl Gray. If the tea you are drinking is too bitter you might have the water too hot or leave the bag in too long. Genmaichai is brown rice tea and is fine. BUT do not buy mugi-cha. Mugi is wheat.

Hey Jamie.  you can always put a dash of salt to cut the bitterness.

Thank you Laura! I have had Teavana before but they are quite pricey... will have to check them out though!

I think they sell Numi at my grocery store.. I'll check it out!

Thank you for the translation!! So helpful! I may be leaving the bag in too long.. I'll try to shorten the steeping time.

I love Good Earth. I also recently discovered Teatulia. Their white tea was so good. More expensive than what I currently have, but I may splurge a bit for my birthday  :D

If you like green tea, but not too bitter, you may like green tea with chamomile.  The Twinnings brand used to be my favorite.

I will check them both out. I have only ever tried one white tea. But I don't remember the brand.

Thanks. I do like chamomile by itself so mixing the two would make good sense.

 

FYI I tried shortening my steeping time to 3 minutes (timed it) and added a  touch of salt. BOOM. No bitterness! Thank you all!!! I have great suggestions to go by now. I need to buy a tea storage box....  :P

Are we allowed to post links onto other sites? Just in case we cannot, I just bought a sample pack of Teatulia's teas from amazon. Less than $6  total for three containers - green, white, and black tea. Full price is normally $9/container. Worth trying!  :D

I like Numi teas, also.  I just discovered them while on vacation in CA.  Love the gunpowder green - sounds weird, but it's very smooth.

It's funny, I just did a search for "tea" and it told me there were no results in the forums!  Go figure!

 

My husband have a huge HUGE tea stash at our house, all kind of brands and flavors.  I haven't had tea since my diagnosis but winter is coming.  What should I look for on the labels?  Any brands I should be especially wary of?  Where is the hidden gluten in tea?

A large and I do mean very large selection of "The Republic of Tea" is gluten-free, and I adore their Ginger Peach tea.  I  skimmed the topic and did not see a reference, but from my experience of using their products I can say it has been an amazing experience, 2 leaves tea is also good regarding mint tea. However steer clear of Relvolutions tea products they stated they are gluten-free, but they did make me feel quite ill trying their teas.

When you search, go to the main forum page and search from there.  It will auto default to search within the topic you are currently viewing, so it can make things come up goofy.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Some members here take GliadinX (a sponsor here) if they eat out in restaurants or outside their homes. It has been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. This would be for small amounts of cross-contamination, and it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      Hiya- I have been eating gluten free for several years now— but the learning curve has been steep!  I got serious about the strictness of my diet at the beginning of the COVID pandemic: I missed baking bread and thought there would be no harm in making bread in a bread machine— I was just assembling the ingredients, not actually touching it. Well, some flour puffed up in my face and I lost my voice!  At that time, I had many other scary things going on: muscle fasciculations, dropping things, missing things I was reaching for, tripping and trouble navigating around corners and doors ( I ran into them!), muscle weakness resulting in severe incontinence, issues with irregular heartbeat, and other things. I thought I had ALS. I have since learned to avoid all traces of gluten and oats and everything has resolved, but even a trace amount of gluten will cause me to start tripping, dropping things, and have muscle spasms. The last series of micro-exposures resulted in half my face going numb, like Bell’s Palsey   I have consulted with several doctors about this, and mostly they look at me like I’m mentally ill and treat me like a hypochondriac.  One doctor suggested that I start eating gluten again so I could get a diagnosis, but that is a scary prospect— I do like to be able to breathe! I feel like a test run with gluten could put me in the hospital, or even kill me. So my question is— am I crazy?  Could all of those symptoms be caused by gluten?  Is there any way to get a definitive diagnosis without eating gluten(like a scratch test or something?)? Also, in a city full of gluten avoidant individuals (who look a lot like me) but who still occasionally eat gluten foods or cook with gluten or who can still walk into a bakery or pizza restaurant, how can I get taken seriously? Mostly I just want to find out if I am a complete weirdo, or if there is anyone else out there who reacts like I do—

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?
