Switching from Coffee to Tea

Found this blog entry today from Steph’s Cup of Tea about tea drinking and pregnancy. Seems Steph received a question from a serious coffee drinker wanting to switch to tea because she is now pregnant. She needs to kick her coffee habit because of too much caffeine. I wonder why she just doesn’t drink decaffeinated coffee if she is such a great coffee drinker?

However, Steph gave her some good advice starting with trying rooibos and herbal teas. Not exactly real teas but they would be caffeine free.

Then Steph gives a double steep method to reduce the caffeine in real teas. Seems the mom-to-be does want a bit of caffeine. If she was a serious coffee drinker, she probably would want something to keep getting a bit of caffeine. The double steep method is a great idea to lessen the amount an caffeine and you can read Steph’s post to get the reasoning and method.

Finally she ends up suggesting decaf teas but has some cautions.
