I have never described a food or brand as thoughtful before, but The Republic of Tea really fits the bill. Browsing their catalog makes me smile and feel good about purchasing tea from them: their tea bags are unbleached and have no strings, tags or staples in support of the environment, they offer tons of information on every type of tea they sell and I really dig their variety (buy it loose, in bags or as concentrate). Just recently I went on a bit of a shopping spree for Christmas gifts from them. You see, every tea of theirs is certified gluten-free and kosher. Every single one is gluten-free! And they are the first tea company with permission to include the Gluten-Free Certification Organization's certification mark on its packaging.
My goodness; I haven't even spoken about taste yet. Well, you know that cinnamon scented, almond milk splashed coffee that I adore so much? All of the teas that I have tried so far could rival (and surpass) my morning cup of joe in terms of taste (the chai concentrate is gosh-darn amazing). They even have a line of tea called Be Well Red Teas, all with roobois in them mixed with other teas and herbs. The Red Tea line has teas called: Hello Gorgeous which is good for your skin, Get Clean for detoxing and a whole bunch more for those of us wanting to work on ourselves from within.
I consider The Republic of Tea my nicorette, but way tastier and way better for you.Tomorrow's favorite thing: not your Grandma's cookware?

I have a heart murmur too!
Good for you for cutting back on the coffee! Tea is great, too. And I had no idea it could even HAVE gluten in it!
I just quit coffee myself a month ago, just to test if I was addicted or not, and I was totally addicted.
It took me a couple of weeks to feel normal again and I had a headache for a couple of days.
Now I drink a lot of white tea with peppermint (Clipper), rooibos and oolong tea.
I am totally addicted to tea too now, so I think that I have a problem with addictions.
I think you will in the end feel a lot better drinking tea than coffee. I have found through this experiment that coffee tends to make me feel really tired in the end, I think it's the same with other coffee drinkers?
Very weird Jenny! Mind was discovered just a few years ago.
Thanks Ricki! Barley flavoring is an ingredient that is in a good amount of teas; you usually don't find wheat and rye in them though.
I totally feel a little off and it's been two days, though I think I'll allow myself a few cups a week, though I don't know if that's smart or not. Thanks for sharing your story emilia!
