my dd is allergic to oranges and so many teas have oranges in them (most of my faves) So what kids can she have? I know earl grey but she doesnt seem to impressed with that one she does like the neglish breakfast blend that has no oranges but other than that i am lost.

Re: orangless teas?
FWIW "orange pekoe" is simply the name for a grade/cut of black tea. It does not contain any oranges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_pekoe

Re: orangless teas?
One of my daughter's favorite teas is a blend of equal parts chamomile flowers, hibiscus flowers, spearmint leaves and chrysanthemum flowers. We call it flower fairy tea. She also likes a blend I call Sani-tea which is equal parts roses, spearmint, catnip and chamomile. Your daughter might like these too.

Re: orangless teas?
I avoided citrus (and many other things) for a while to see if it would help DD2's skin. I was surprised how many teas had orange too! Many of the herbal blends have it.
Republic of Tea makes a yummy Ginger Peach that doesn't have orange. Chai has always been a favorite of mine, but I would definitely check the box just in case! |

Re: orangless teas?
Yep. Catnip tea in humans functions as a relaxation/sleep aid. It's a fairly common ingredient in tea blends intended for that purpose.

Re: orangless teas?
Oh yes, people can have it! I love catnip and use it a lot of my tea blends. It's a member of the mint family. Not only do I find it very relaxing, I also include it in blends for tummy troubles and headaches because of its anti-spasmodic properties.

Re: orangless teas?
I like catnip in blends but I also like it by itself with a little honey and cream. Some people dislike it by itself because of its very slight bitterness and prefer it blended with other herbs. You may want to experiment with it to see what you like.

Re: orangless teas?
I'm coming in late to this thread...but I believe that the bergamot in Earl/Lady Gray is citrus in nature.
How about Rooibos/Red tea? Would they go for that if you put a dab of honey in it and maybe some milk?

Re: orangless teas?
Oooh, good idea! I forgot about rooibos because it is such a staple in our house it's like rice or beans. My husband drinks it cold instead of southern sweet tea. My kids really like it too.
