Tea recommendation



Recommended Posts

Just want to recommend a lovely tea brand .. Tazo teas are lovey! It has great quality, simple ingredient tea bags that brew up well. i sometimes put Monkfruit sweetener in it to enhance the flavor. My favorite is wild sweet orange. It smells and tastes heavenly.

the glazed lemon loaf is pretty good and tastes naughty but i believe is no calories brewed - just a tasty way to hydrate.

I've been doing green tea, white tea, vanilla chai black tea, and oolong tea. And I also use Monkfruit sweetener. These teas taste good, help curb appetite, have some caffeine (not a lot, but enough), and help with burning fat. Man, I love tea lol

Joining this thread because I love tea.
I grew up on Celestial Seasonings (Red Zinger is my all time favorite) but I highly recommend Harney and Sons teas also.

If you like the glazed lemon loaf, the Tazo Vanilla Macaron is also lovely (it's black tea so it has a little caffeine).

I really like the Republic of Tea Cuppa chocolate teas (especially the strawberry).

I don't think any straight "tea" that gets brewed is going to have any dietarily significant amount of calories or sugar as long as you don't add sugar/cream/milk to it (Chai tea concentrates and bottled teas can have a LOT of sugar, though!). I always just put a little Splenda in it.

Tea lover here! My favorites are: TeaVivre, Mandala Tea, Lupicia (flavored teas), Kusmi, Bird and Blend tea Co. All high end tea stores but wonderful and worth it.

Yay for tea. I’m a big green tea drinker. Don’t enjoy fruit teas at all but some herbal ones are okay (fresh mint & peppermint are my favourites but chamomile is 🤢).

South African Rooibus made me nauseous. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I drank black tea I enjoyed earl grey at night & lady grey in the afternoon but English Breakfast was my go to everyday tea. Russian caravan was an interesting smoky tea I enjoyed occasionally. Twinnings or Yorkshire Tea were my go to brands back then.

Here in Australia we have a fabulous tea company: T2. I love their green sencha for everyday & their Buddha’s tears on weekends (it’s a long 8 minute brew). Their teas are very clean tasting. They do interesting herbal blends too like tummy tea, quiet mind, sleep tight. And have lovely tins to store your tea leaves or bags. (They deliver to the US if you’re interested). The Tea Company’s (also Aust company) gunpowder green & olive leaf teas are also good.

Red Rose Sweet Temptations tea is AMAZING!!! It's like dessert in tea form, its already sweetened with a little bit of Stevia. (Is that allowed?) I hope so because that's how I cut out my Desserts, over the years. Also, Caffeine free.

I don't think I've seen anyone say their plan forbids Stevia, it's pretty benign. Obviously some people don't like it or it doesn't agree with them but it's a non-sugar sweetener and is mostly natural.

Thank you so much for this recommendation. I bought the orange and the lemon. Love them both but that lemon loaf is out of this world. Makes me think I'm getting a sweet treat!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
