I'm sorry, maybe I'm not understanding the question. Every tea I've entered in my diary has no carbs. Red zinger, constant comment, peppermint, etc. I can't imagine any tea (other than sweetened ) that is not keto friendly. Or were you wanting a bullet proof tea recipe?0

I guess I could have been more detailed. I have read a lot that caffeine kicks you out of ketosis and makes it hard to enter. Is there any caffiene free keto approved teas0 -

I drink tea almost every day and have not had issues. I generally drink black teas, if that is helpful. I don't think drinking tea unless it is sweetened will be an issue.0

I drink at least 32 oz. of iced tea and 12 oz. of hot tea daily. Haven't been out of ketosis since mid December when I started. I think there is some other reason your source got 'kicked out of ketosis'. Hope this helps you.
ETA: For the amount of bullet proof coffee that others on this forum consume, I would think caffeine is safe.

I drink tea and coffee every day, no problem with ketosis. If you're looking for a BPC tea recipe, @lowjax75 can help you out.0

I don't believe your source to be correct. Have had regular tea, and coffee, over this past year while maintaining a ketogenic diet. I did decrease caffeine consumption a few months back, but haven't seen a change with that. You should be safe with any unsweetened tea.0

Caffeine does not affect ketosis.
Carbs do.0 -
I've mostly been watching Stephanie Keto Person on YouTube. She is in great shape and been Keto for 5 years. She mentions a lot that caffeine is a no no. I'm not saying she is right or wrong, but that is mainly where I have gotten most of my information0

Agree with those above. Black, Oolong, Green, White, Pu-erh and even non-tea teas like Rooibos and Herbal are all fine unless they are sweetened. I drink 6-8 cups a day and have had no issues at all losing weight.0

I don't know why she would be saying caffeine is a problem. Every lc blogger I am familiar with drinks coffee with butter. Some even drink it all day and only eat one meal.
I'm not familiar with her but I would hope that she gives information (sources) for why that's her opinion. If someone isn't providing evidence to support their recommendations, I wouldn't be able to have much faith in them.0 -
I have read one plan that a physician had (mainly for his fibromyalgia patients), and he includes elimination of caffeine in his recommendations. This was the reason I went decaf. I just happened to be doing all of his other recommendations through this woe (cutting carbs, processed foods, .....). His reasoning is that it contributes to inflammation that plagues fibromyalgia sufferers. I don't remember the site, or any scientific evidence he based these recommendations on. Haven't seen much of a difference , but it can take several months to reverse the inflammation in some cases.0

From a physiological point of view caffeine triggers cortisol release. Cortisol can both encourage and reduce fat burning for fuel: acute release encourages, chronic release stalls. It's a very individual thing. In my professional life, I encourage patients to cut caffeine if weight loss stalls despite strict adherence to the woe, especially if they also are women with PCOS and they want to conceive, women pre or post menopausal (I also look at caffeine as a hot flush trigger) or those patients who are dealing with very high levels of life stress. I don't mess with someones caffeine intake lightly, this woe has enough challenges especially in the beginning. I don't want my patients to experience other symptoms that may discourage them. If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
Stephanie Keto Person (my opinion): people either love her or hate her. High energy, whiz bang presentation style, goes off on tangents when she speaks which can be irritating or informatative depending on you view point. She has very low body fat for a woman in her late 40's, and the shape she is in, probably has a lot to do with a lifetime in heavy training and genetics. I think she was a pro skateboarder. I like her honesty about being self taught. Being a clinician I'm reserved about her tendency to cite 1 clients story to back up many of her claims.0 -

Lol. I don't blame you! I would have big problems if someone told me to cut my coffee or drink yucky decaf!

Herbals and greens have the lowest caffeine content. If you are very concerned, you may want to ditch the American habit of leaving the bag in the water and remove it as soon as it is brewed. Additional brewing time means additional caffeine.
Myself, I *love* caffeine, coffee, etc. Best of luck!0 -

Actually, the first 30 seconds of steeping releases the most caffeine, even the negligible amounts in "decaf." I had an aunt allergic to caffeine and did a lot of research.
If you steep and dump after 30 seconds, then resteep in fresh water, you'll get rid most of any lingering caffeine.0 -
I'm enjoying a white chocolate mocha flavored tea I found recently. No need for cream as it has a great flavor and I can drink it just as it is.
It's Stash Premium black tea. Found it in the Organics section at the grocery.0 -
Had never heard of Stephanie--am reading a bit about her now:
