So I just had some black tea (English Teatime) and the labels is marked "Gluten free." Are there teas that have gluten?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, I hope your horses and carts get themselves properly aligned and all those chickens hatch, msbelle.
I am so not on top of things this week I don't even know. I'm giving up on getting ahead and just going to work on keeping my head above water for the next little while, I think.
I have no retirement party ideas.

That sounds like the gluten-free beef jerky I saw. I suppose there could be a grain-based filler in the stuff, but I think it's more marketing stuff.

I know there's a Celestial Seasonings holiday tea (maybe gingerbread flavor) that has gluten. It doesn't literally have gingerbread, of course, but for some reason the flavoring they use is barley-based. Weird.
But plain old tea leaves are kind of GF by default. Did the label also say "100% mayonnaise-free!"?

True tea does not have gluten, but some teas will have things like barley malt for sweetening, and thus are not gluten free.

I think it said, "May contain trace amounts of mayonnaise."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just laughing about that kind of thing with friends -- one had seen a gluten-free label on a tomato. A TOMATO.
Granted, I now see that things sold as tea may have gluten, but still.

Granted, I still have a lot of people tell me they don't know what gluten IS, so they don't know how to provide gluten-free food for me,* so labelling a tomato is apparently a good idea.
*(These people have apparently never fucking heard of Google.)
