That is something I have been wondering myself off and on
because tea has a long history.

I know in the book Neanderthin (which is the diet I follow) that green
tea is allowed. I have not noticed the author (Ray Audette)
mentioning any other type of tea but I do have a couple more chapters
of the book to finish reading and there are several recipes in the
book which I have not thoroughly looked through yet.

I am sure that any herbal/fruit tea would be considerred paleolithic
as there are many recipes for them on the paleofood recipe sites I
read.
