Community PageHi All Okay, this is what I have found out. If you want to be 100% raw then you need teas that are NOT processed above 115-118 degrees. I called Yogi Teas and they told me that all the ingredients of their teas are dried without heat. Yay! I add water to my cup, with a cappucino thermometer, adjusting to 115-118 degrees. I then add my tea bag and steep with the thermometer in place for the time suggested on the tea. I then add a bit more hot water from my kettle to bring it back up to temp. I add my raw nutmilk and raw sweeteners and add a bit more hot water to bring it up to temp. Then drink it… ahh! very satisfying!
BTW, I also called Celestial Seasonings and they told me some of their ingredients are definitely heated. They did say that if it was one of their teas with herbs only then they do not heat them.
Any feedback on this is appreciated as I am only 2 months at raw food. Anyone else call any companies? I would love to know which others might be acceptable on a 100% raw diet.
Namaste QT
