I drink decaf black teas...occasionally I'll drink some raspberry tea.

I love tea-it is a wonderful alternative to alcohol. My favourite brands are:

The Republic of Tea

British Breakfast
Earl Greyer
Republic Darjeeling

Twinings

Earl Grey
English Breakfast
Darjeeling
Prince of Wales
Lady Grey
Traditional Afternoon

Bigelow Tea

English Teatime
Plantation Mint

As a Southerner I prefer my tea served cold over ice, but I will ocassionaly drink it warm.

Tea doesn't have ANY caffeine, it has theine. No kidding, theine is different from caffeine, and theine doesn't have the same effect on the body as caffeine because your body can't metabolize it, it just passes through your system. The lift that some people feel from tea is purely psychological, unless they are drinking something like Morning Thunder by Celestial Seasonings, which is a fortified tea with caffeine added.

So, drink tea with a clean conscience, it has no "drugs" at all in it!

Then why do Mormons avoid tea??

There is NOTHING better than a glass of Southern Sweet Iced Tea! If haven't had it your missing out! I am a coffee and tea snob! It HAS to be brewed! Drove my hubby crazy for a while now I have him hooked! (not the coffee yet though he had never had any in his life and does not plan to start!) Oh, and yes it does come decaffeinated, you just brew it longer. I cannot have a lot of caffeine either.

I gotta say, my body definitely does not agree with the theory that tea doesn't have caffeine in. Or else my body reacts the same way to theine or whatever as it does to caffeine. Cuz I tell ya... racing heart, can't sit still, definitely can't fall asleep, heart palpitations... yeah, tea definitely affects me! And it's not a psychological reaction either.

I do love herbal teas though! Chamomile is one of my favourites. I also like almost all fruit-flavoured teas. Oh, and fresh peppermint is the best!! I recently learned of chrysanthemum tea... yummy yummy!

Hi there

Thinking back to the first post where another feels that taking in the body anything that might be considered a stimulant..Is it Biblical?

We are a temple of The Holy Spirit, we also read that we are to be conformed by the renewing of our mind. We have the indwelling Holy Spirit within us as believers.

Is it important what we put into our bodies?
where do we draw the line with any additives?
how would we know what is being added to our foods? (I would need a degree for that)
How do we know what is given to the battery hen in order that it should be on our tables nice and tender?
Is being obese wrong? Is that a form of self abuse?
Is drinking alcohol wrong?
Is drinking coffee and indeed tea wrong?
Is staying up too long and not getting enough rest wrong?

We do know that what proceeds from us is important.
What about what we show others? Such as obesity, drunken behaviour, partying too hard, smoking. Someone here said Tea caused this affect on her......racing heart, can't sit still, definitely can't fall asleep, heart palpitations...

Do these get in the way of being able to be ready to share about our Great God?

Food (pardon the pun, I mean Tea) for thought ...

As an Australian i've grown up with tea being more acceptable to drink than coffee, after mowing my grandpa's lawn i'd sit down and have a cuppa tea with my granpda from a fairly early age, about 9 or something. However the amount of sugar added kinda overpowered the taste of the tea! I don't think that tea is really something we shouldn't drink, in fact i'm sure every church service i've been to has ended with an invitation to share conversation over a cuppa tea.
