Does anybody know if black tea is as good for us post op as herbal teas? I found some coconut thai decaf black tea that is really good! I know teas are on the "clears" list but wondering if it matters if it's herbal or not. This stuff made my day.

Decaffeinated teas are mostly green and black teas that have been decaffeinated through a special process. However they may still contain up to 3% of the original caffeine content. Herbal "teas" or Tisanes are any herbal infusions not made from Camellia Sinensis (tea plant). Tisanes may be made of flowers, leaves, fruits, seeds, roots etc. They are naturally 100% caffeine free. The examples of herbal teas are: Chamomile, Peppermint, Fruit Teas, Hibiscus, Lemon, Verbena, Rooibos (red tea).
