May I ask what limits you from Earl Grey? Because if the caffeine is the issue, we do offer this tea in decaf...

*winces* That's... awful. Does it carry over at all to other citrus?

I have to cook any fruit and vegetable and herb to eat it. Tea is tricky because I am allergic to some flowers (chamomile) and possibly others so I can only drink standard bagged black tea. So citrus all needs to be cooked. Bergamot seems fine in distilled beverages.

And I have another potentially weird question. How thoroughly cooked? Oils are usually extracted from fresh things, and that's how most standard teas are made. Is dried rind cooked enough or has it not had enough of the chemical change required?

(At least I think oils are generally made from fresh. The few things I've read about the process seemed to so indicate.)

So if oils are heavily processed like canola, they are fine. Cold pressed oils are a no go, and some plant extracts too. But if they are cooked (as long as they aren’t a cold pressed nut oil) then they are fine. Dried peels/herbs are not always heat treated...

For our part, I can guarantee everything we dry in house is. (At a temp of 160 degrees.) Unfortunately, I have no idea how our suppliers dry the things we acquire from them, though I might be able to find out.

Yeah it’s hard to know when I buy stuff from stores or online because often I don’t get replies to stuff like that.
