I am fiber sensitive and I want to try this acai tea: http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en-ca/product/coffee-tea/tea/acai-berry-caffeine-free-herbal-tea.html

I've heard acai berries are high in fibre, so my question is when drinking a tea made out of high fibre ingredients, like acai, does the fibre get passed down to the tea? Or is there more fibre in the tea because they grind up all the good stuff? Thank you!

    Not an expert but because you don't actually eat the leaves I would suspect that you don't get any (or veerrryyy little) fibre. A bit like juicing where most of the fibre is lost in the pulp

    I looked up the ingredients for that tea and it uses acai powder, not full berries. The powder does have fiber, but I think you'd have to drink several cups of tea to get a high amount of it since the powder isn't even the main ingredient.

    Thank you! :) I"m going to try it! I tried blueberry tea once, was awful. I hope this tastes better!
