Thank you for visiting Bigelow Tea's web site. You asked if the natural flavors contained in the Constant Comment Decaffeinated contain any rye, barley or wheat gluten. The Constant Comment Decaffeinated tea does not contain any of these ingredients.

The following are teas that contain barley malt and test positive for gluten. While the flavors listed below have been discontinued, you may find them on the store shelf. They are:

Apple & Spice Herbal Garden Tea
Fruit & Berries Herb Tea
Fruit & Berries Iced Tea
Hibiscus and Rose Hips Herbal Garden Tea
Specially Strawberry Herb Tea
Strawberry Herbal Garden Tea

The teas listed below contain barley malt, but when tested, showed no results for gluten. They are:

Blueberry Harvest Herb Tea
Chamomile Mango Herb Tea
Cinnamon Spice Herb Tea (was called Sinfully Cinnamon Herb Tea)
Take-A-Break loose tea

Any tea NOT listed above is gluten free.

I hope the above responds to your concerns. If you need additional information, please email me at mailto:atkpangrac@rcbigelow.com.

Cordially,

Kathy Pangrac
Consumer Service Supervisor
