I am thinking about starting to drink green tea. However as I'm looking at the ingredient lists on amazon for several different varieities, I've noticed they contain soy lecithin. I'm trying to avoid soy consumption when possible ... so was wondering if anyone knows of a green tea product that does NOT contain soy?

Thanks!

    I really like Twinnings and Tazo (Tazo china green tea tips are awesome! You have to get them at starbucks though. Not sure where else you can find them)

    Buy whole leaf and a strainer? It tastes way better anyways.

    I'm pretty sure the green teabags I use dont have any soy! Is it pre-made drinks you're looking at?

    No, I was looking at tea bags.

    I'll have to look into that.

    re: Starbucks --- the closet one to me is 40 miles away inside a Safeway. :)

    Can you give a link to the ones you're looking at? I can't see soy as an ingredient on any packets.

    I'm drinking Lipton Green tea with Mandarin Orange right now. No soy on the ingredients list.

    Great Value (the Walmart store brand) Decaffeinated Green Tea
    Ingredients: Decaffeinated Green Tea.

    I have the box sitting in front of me.

    I can't find them now (of course!) One of them was Bigelow (I think) but when I relooked it up, I couldn't find the same one.
    Thank you everyone for your ideas! I'll be going into Walmart probably on Friday, so will take a look at the Great Value one.
