Robin Strathdee Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Since we are talking tea..my new all time favorite is Numi Organic Chocolate Puerh. Ingredients: Organic Black Pureh tea, organic cocoa powder, organic vanilla beans, organic Rooibos, organic cinnamon, organic orange peel, organic nutmeg. It is so awesome. Susan - I can't remember - are you a coffee drinker? How's the depth of flavor in the chocolate puerh? I've gotta find a W30 complaint replacement for my Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice.

Susan W Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Susan - I can't remember - are you a coffee drinker? How's the depth of flavor in the chocolate puerh? I've gotta find a W30 complaint replacement for my Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice. Robin, I meant to send you a PM telling you about my find because I remembered your love of the the Yogi and discovery of Stevia in it. I love the Puerh. I am a coffee drinker, but I gave it up for my W100 about 40 days in or so. I think it tastes rich and very yummy, but I haven't ever had the Yogi. I bought it on Amazon, but I think I saw it at WF.

Robin Strathdee Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sweet! Thanks! A few of our local grocery stores carry it, too! I'm gonna give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So if a tea has stevia leaf shouldn't that be ok? It's just if it's extracted out of it's natural form and all that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sorry Carrie, it's still a sweetener so a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyS Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I just bought some hibiscus leaf from the bulk section of the health food store. Woah, that might convert me to regular tea drinking for fun. Seriously good. And nothing in it but hibiscus leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyS Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This makes me want to go pull all the leaves off the hibiscus plants at Home Depot this summer. I know, right? That stuff is so good. I remember drinking a sweetened version when I lived in Mexico years ago. It's called "jamaica" (pronounced hah-MAI-kah) and it was very refreshing. I'm loving the lighter taste of the unsweetened brew now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Maryann Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm on a rosehips kick. Loving TJ's Crimson Blossom--rosehips, hibiscus, chamomile, dried apples, licorice root, rooibos, orange peel, and orange blossoms. Has 'natural flavors, but doesn't list soy lecithin, so I'm assuming it's okay. I'm pretty sure they have to list soy ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Hudak Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I really enjoy Tazo brand Passion Tea. It is kind of sweet and fruity tasting(though I never thought of it as sweet myself, that is how other people describe it). I checked the ingredients, and it doesn't have any soy lethichin, so it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Cole Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 ohhhh, so trying the starbucks chai espresso mixture tomorrow! sounds amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulata Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just had the chai espresso combo and it was really nice. Didn't miss being able to have my normal latte at all. Thanks for suggesting it you've made starbucks meetings possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Wait, really? That's a new addition then, Susan. Mine doesn't have stevia in it I wonder if the addition of stevia is new or is it old? I just bought this the other day (I hadn't even seen this post) and it does not list stevia at all. Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We haven't had ours a super long time. I think my daughter bought the box directly from Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyncloud Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I apologize for this VERY basic question lol.. Is just plain black tea ok? I looked up the ingredients for black tea, and it only says "black tea leaves". I really like Red Rose Tea and even Lipton would do. Any help is greatly appreciated!! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yes you can have black tea. You can have any tea that doesn't have a sweetener in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyB Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I love love love Bengal Spice tea from Celestial Seasonings...a.k.a. "Tiger Tea" because it has a tiger on the box. It is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I apologize for this VERY basic question lol.. Is just plain black tea ok? Hi, oh yes, black tea is good. Being British this is the only thing we refer to as tea. Anything else is 'herbal tea', fruit tea', tisanes', 'rooibos', 'green tea' etc. It took me a while to get my head round calling them all 'tea' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is 'herbal tea', fruit tea', tisanes', 'rooibos', 'green tea' etc. It took me a while to get my head round calling them all 'tea' When I was working at Starbucks I asked every single customer what kind of tea they wanted for days, until one of the other girls was kind enough to tell me that there's only one kind of tea in Britain. I was looking for some herbal tea in the shop earlier and most of the ones I picked up have “natural flavours†listed in the ingredients. I'd love some UK Whole30-approved brand recommendations.

Nicole1775 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've made my Starbucks favorite (dirty chai) Whole30 compliant and it's not bad! It's brewed Tazo chai tea (no bad additives that I could find) with a shot of espresso only. I added a dash of cinnamon too. Anyone else tried this? Robin thank you for this recommendation!!!! It was awesome!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole1775 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I apparently made the mistake of ordering chai tea cold with an extra shot of espresso yesterday. Went today and I was told the chai tea when it's cold is sweetened. No wonder why it tasted so damn good!!!! I assume the hot way is not sweetened since everyone drinks?

Went today and I was told the chai tea when it's cold is sweetened. No wonder why it tasted so damn good!!!! I assume the hot way is not sweetened since everyone drinks? I'll assume that you're still on about Starbucks... Starbucks sells two chai drinks. One chai is just a tea bag that they would brew for you and then you could either have your drink hot or iced. (I've tried nearly every combination of ingredients that Starbucks has and would never have considered adding a shot of espresso to tea.) The other is a "chai tea latte" which is a tea concentrate that's added to milk to make a milky chai drink. This is the drink that people usually add espresso to and the drink you'd get if you were to order a dirty chai. Either hot or cold the chai tea lattes have milk in them, and the chai tea concentrate is sweetened (with honey in the UK, if I remember right) It's entirely likely that you got both milk and sweetener in your drink.
