One cup of tea is well below the suggested daily limit of 200mg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-tea-can-i-drink#post-1250470 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:59:35 +0000 nana87 1250470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dr says 1 cup of caffeinated anything per day is fine, and any kind of non caffeinated is fine as long as it's not in excess (like more than 6 cups a day of anything besides water isn't good). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-tea-can-i-drink#post-1250467 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:54:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 1250467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black tea has very little caffeine compared to the recommended daily limit; so I continued to drink it every day during pregnancy. </p> <p>What about white tea or red teas? I'm not sure if they have caffeine, but it's another thought! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-tea-can-i-drink#post-1250447 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:21:42 +0000 PurplePeony 1250447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: green tea can disrupt absorption of folic acid, so it's good to limit how much you drink while pregnant.</p> <p>I've had decaf black, mint, chamomile, and ginger-lemon teas. All were fine with my midwives. If you're worried, why not give a call to your doctor and verify what they are okay with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-tea-can-i-drink#post-1250437 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:15:56 +0000 blackbird 1250437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, why is green unsafe? I never came across that. I drank a lot of peach, mint, lemon, and almond flavored teas. I also drank a white chai. And a Japanese green brown tea. </p> <p>Raspberry leaf tea is controversial for the first two trimesters. I think it tastes a little weird but nothing like raspberries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-tea-can-i-drink#post-1250425 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:02:16 +0000 night cheese 1250425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a hot tea junkie but I'm struggling trying to find a tea that's safe to drink during pregnancy. I want to avoid black tea because of the caffeine, but everything I've read says that green tea and most herbal teas are unsafe too.</p> <p>I've been sticking to mint tea, which seems to be safe, but I like some variety. For those of you who drink tea, what kind of tea do you drink?</p> <p>And I've heard a lot about raspberry leaf tea. But I hate raspberries. Does it taste like the berries at all? </p>
