Fruit tea
Usually caffeine-free and histamine-friendly, though blends with hibiscus or citrus peel may be worth watching.
Fruit teas are herbal infusions, not true teas, so they're naturally free of caffeine and the amines that come from tea oxidation.
-
Hibiscus consideration — hibiscus is a common ingredient in fruit teas and is sometimes noted by people with histamine intolerance as one they find less comfortable, though the mechanism isn't fully established
-
Citrus components — blends containing dried citrus peel or rosehip are generally mild, but people who are particularly sensitive to citrus may notice a difference with high-citrus blends
Looking at the ingredient list for simple, recognizable fruits tends to help you find the blends that suit you best.
