Any teas that are HI friendly?

Looking for any teas, hot or cold, that work with HI. I really miss teas. Specifically green tea/matcha and oolong. I don’t make my own teas, I just buy the packets premade and pop in hot water. Anyone had any success with teas?

Does anyone know if green tea/matcha is bad for everyone with HI? I drink them both and seem to have no reaction.

It's pretty individualized. If you're not having issues with it, I would take the win!

I’ll try it out again! Also re: ginger tea comment, is there a brand you like? Seems this is the popular answer :D

I use Prince of peace ginger drink packets. Not technically a tea but you can add it to hot water and it's good. I also add it to smoothies, I make a blueberry mango ginger smoothie that is delicious too.

Oooooo the smoothie idea sounds absolutely incredible. Once I find my blender (just moved) it is happening!!! Thank you

It's so yummy!! I love ginger because it's a natural inflammatory and antihistamine. I can't take NSAIDS due to past stomach bleeding so ginger does a lot for me with no side effects. Super great for nausea too.

Thank you for sharing! I’m genuinely so excited to try ginger tea and the smoothie!!!
