Coffee And Tea

[Nicolette]

Okay everyone, I'll ask you, seeing as no-one else seems to be getting back to me. Can you drink instant granulated coffees? What about tea?

In particular, I want to know about Kenco Decaffeinated Instant coffee and PG Tips, pyramid bags tea. Neither of them, over here in the UK, have a list of ingredients and i don't know whether they are safe.

Can anyone help me out?

In the U.S. virtually every coffee, including the crystals, are gluten-free. A majority of teas are also gluten-free and the ones that aren't generally list barley in the ingredients. I don't know if this is the same in the UK, though.

Don't know if you get celestial seasonings, but they label 'gluten-free' on their teas if they are ok.

Do you have Folger's or Maxwell house there? Both make gluten-free granualted regular coffee. I agree with what has been said about teas - here in the US, they generally list barley additives, specifically, I am thinking about Lipton brand.

Anybody know if Kava is gluten-free? By the ingredients, it seems to be, but ya' never know. It's the instant coffee that has the acid removed.

Thanks for contacting Folgers, Vincent.

Our coffees are 100% pure coffee.  Since coffee has no nutritional value, there's no significant amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sodium, or potassium.  In fact, one serving of brewed coffee contains less than 5 calories.  There is no gluten at all in any Folgers version.

We use natural and artificial flavorings in our flavored Ground and Whole Bean versions.  You'll get a smooth coffee taste, with just a hint of flavor.  The best part is that the flavorings don't affect the nutritional content of the coffee; there are no additional calories, carbohydrates, alcohol or sugars.

If you prefer decaf coffee, it might help to know we only use pure water and natural ingredients for decaffeination.  So, you can have all of the flavor, without all the caffeine!

I hope this information helps!

There has been ongoing controversy regarding caffeine vs. the de-caffination process as to which is worse. Personally, I choose to stick with herbal teas that are caffeine-free. Once you choose a flavor you like or enjoy a variety as I do, they are lots of choices. I find tea to be very soothing and it's wonderful with honey. My doctor prescribed Prevacid for me and coffee is on the list of foods to avoid, so I do.
