I believe the tea has been affected by the radiation.Wind,rain &amp; water has carried it everywhere.Has anyone had it tested?

Whatever wind, rain, and water have done to carry radiation to the mainland, a number of sources report that today, 60-years later, 1.6 million people are "thriving" on Hiroshima, the ground zero of one A-bomb. And there hasn't the the first sighting of godzilla.

we have not experienced that at all, we only boil distilled water, from our own distiller, since we are very picky about brewing our tea and feel distilled water is best for that, perhaps your water is reacting with something in the vessel. If we notice anything like glitter in our water I will certainly get back to the company.

I have not had any problems with the tea. I looked into it and it would be minerals in the water. We use a filter under the sink for all water which we drink. Of course my water may be different your water. Maybe you could buy a gallon of distilled water to see if that fixes the tea problem. If so you might wish to try a reverse osmosis filter. My filter is a cheaper type.

i think that could be calcium from the water. about once a week use vinegar to clean the inside of the teapot. but to my knowledge there isn't a coating.

Oh boy, HB. You got so many interesting, funny, and/or stupid responses to this. Seeing as how it is now a year later, I'm sure this feed is dead, but I'm so happy I found it. Many teas steep well at 150 degrees (which is how hot this gets I believe), and anyone who has never put milk in their hot tea is truly missing out. I'm not sure if you were planning on just using water or using milk, but either way I think it's a winner.

No, I messaged them and asked, it comes from China. Some Islands supposedly clean waters...however all my research shows do not buy Chlorella from China. I'm going with Yaeyama Source Naturals. Only a few dollars more but Japan has higher standards for testing. Also opposite side of Japan than radiation. The radiation headed towards California.

My guess is probably the tea doesn't get bitter. I'm not a tea drinker, but my coffee gets no more stronger or bitter because the grounds are no longer steeping once pressed down.

The mix was dry. I'd say it was not fresh because in a video in youtube when they brew the tea with the air pumps make bubbles, and when I made the tea I didn't see any bubbles using 2 air pumps.

Well, Jim -- I haven't the slightest, not being a tea drinker. But -- and just a surmise -- a vacuum container should help the "life" of tea leaves just as well as coffee beans, wouldn't you think? (I really don't have any real proof re the vacuum/coffee bean theory either) But, if this is any help: I do have a jewish friend who'd say, "Try it; it could help......" BJ

can you take both the pills and the tea? How many times a day for each? Really need to know they want to start my radiation next month and I would like to start soon in hopes the uptake scan will show no cancer so I can say no to radiation...Thanks so much for any help!

I wondered about that too when I first saw it, then I bought it anyway and tried it and now I'm hooked. So before I gorge on 24 packs I should find this out too. But here's the thing, seaweed has tons of iodine, so you're kinda protected that way, if you want to look at it like that. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify eating these things! lol. I went to their website (seasgift dot com) and here's what it says: "All our seasoned & roasted seaweed are harvested in the west and southwest regions of South Korea." So that's opposite and a little ways south of Fukushima, so any contamination would (presumably) be decaying remnants similar to what American waters are like. (?) Anyway, I feel secure about eating it, as secure as I can be eating from the ocean. The company also says they test for mercury.

I've been looking into this as well, and my rationale for eating the leaves (in smoothies) is that any "toxin" or pathogen that might make you sick in the tea is not going to be killed/neutralized by the average brewing process, so if these were present people would be getting sick from just drinking the tea, which obviously isn't happening. It helps that this is an "organic" product which should mean there are no pestisides present that you wouldn't want to eat. I'm not a doctor or scientist so do this at your own risk.

I think it is toasted if you are referring to the twig tea. The green tea was not toasted.

Sorry, I should've got to you sooner. I poured tea on it and then rubbed it on dried ink and it didn't run. This experiment was interesting for me as well. Thank you very much for your question.mike

Nutrex has had their products tested by an independent third party as well as in house testing. The product has tested negative for radiation. Also, the majority of the water they use to grow their spirulina is from fresh water ponds with a very small amount of sea water. As a cancer survivor, I've been taking it for about a year for my immune system and truly believe I have been healthier overall since starting it. I have better energy and don't seem to catch colds, etc. like I used to. I also have psoriasis and have seen a definite improvement in that, even my dermatologist mentioned how much better my skin looked. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's working for me.

I use mine to keep my tea hot, and it was still hot many hours later. No idea on this one. I did make a discovery this morning that this cup can't be shaken, or else the liquid comes out of it. How is it for you? I have tried dumping a little liquid out to no avail. I tried it dry with no avail. I am drying it out right now, and I am going to try it again. With both of our problems, maybe this ISN'T a good mug. I might have given my review too early. Don't know.

My husband once put hot tea in a funtainer for me when I was sick. The straw forever stained and there was a hint of tea in the rest of my drinks. Tried to soak it and get it out but nothing I did worked. I wouldn't recommend it.
