Tea Revisited!

[Thinker]

Re: Tea Revisited!

I just recently discovered a new tea that is great for cravings. Lipton has a line of new flavours out....my favourite are Biscotti and Caramel twist They are flavoured black teas..and they taste awesome with a bit of heavy cream and some splenda. It's like having a dessert to me!

I always worry that there's something carbo-craving-kick-off coming through in those flavoured drinks. it's like hazelnut decaf. it tastes too sweet.

Re: Tea Revisited!

I wonder how much caffeine has to be in a product in order for it to begin potentially spiking insulin. I know that tea doesn't have as much caffeine as coffee, but it still does have some. Normally, I'd just figure out my own balance by experimenting with different types, but since I tend to react weirdly to caffeine I'm just not going to bother. It would be nice to kind of know a general number, as I have a literal stockpile of tea that's just sitting in my beverage cabinet (...yes...I have a cabinet just for my teas...people think I'm crazy but they're never thirsty!) as I've just been consuming and purchasing caffeine-free (well, as caffeine-free as the decaf. process will allow) teas.
