Say hello to...Nikaido tea.

While it seems only natural that tea should be gluten-free, there is some tea that contains gluten. Celestial Chai Tea and Teavana Utopian Jewel Oolong both state on their websites that they contain/may contain gluten. Still, there are great companies like Stash and Tazo (sold at Starbucks) that state on their websites that they are gluten-free. I tend to stick to loose leaf tea not only because it's safer, but it tastes a whole lot better too. My absolute favorite tea these days is from Nikaido tea shop in Steveston, Richmond, BC, Canada. Yes, it's a pretty specific location, but well worth the visit. If you happen to make it there, definitely try their Sencha green tea.
