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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
