No, but I'm not sure if the process of decaffination removes some of the phytochemicals along with it - of course, herbal teas don't have the concentration of Fs and Pps that black/green tea does, so you're not missing out there... I did read that taking milk in your tea can sequester the antioxidants away, but I like my milk anyway! Chai Time Maru __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
