1st Trimester

Tea?

Anyone have any info on what tea is okay during pregnancy?  I've read a lot of conflicting stuff.  One book will tell me that decaf tea is okay, another will tell me that any tea interferes with folic acid absorption.  I read somewhere also that herbal tea is to be avoided in general because it hasn't been studied for use in pregnancy.  I am a huge tea and coffee drinker, and I have given up coffee because of the caffeine (and the fact that it acts as sort of a laxative, which I don't need on top of my other discomforts).  I'm not sure I can live without tea too!  I'd even settle for chamomile!
