Does Tea Contain Gluten
Answer: Traditional plain tea black or green is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant,free run, which is not related to the gluten grains wheat,oakley, barley and rye. Therefore, plain tea should be gluten free, assuming it hasn't been subjected to gluten cross contamination in processing.
However,coach factlet outlet online, not all teas are made from Camillia sinensis, and even some that are made from real tea leaves can contain added gluten ingredients.
For example, some herbal teas contain barley malt as a sweetener, and some "real" teas have gluten grain based flavors (most frequently from barley) in them. That makes it essential to check the ingredients before you take a sip.
In addition, a form of tea made from roasted barley is popular in some Asian countries, including Japan,fake oakleys, Korea and China. Therefore, you'll need to determine exactly what you're getting when you order "tea" in a restaurant featuring Asian cuisine.
For tea drinkers, it's definitely a case of "buyer beware" when it comes to gluten. However, most major tea companies keep gluten free lists (and some are even certified gluten free), so it's quite possible to find a type of tea you enjoy that's also gluten free.
Here's the list of tea manufacturers, along with their gluten policies and gluten free lists, where available:
Bigelow teas. All of Bigelow's extensive selection of teas are considered gluten free, according to the company, including popular flavors such as English Breakfast, Constant Comment and Sweet Dreams herbal tea. "Please note, however, that Twinings at this time does not utilize an outside agency to certify our teas as gluten free," the company adds in a statement. You can search Bigelow's tea listing here.
