Starbucks passion fruit tea?!

Question

I just bought a trent sized tea to cure my Starbucks cravings. Now I'm hearing that the hibiscus in this tea could be extremely harmful while pregnant. Does anyone know what the amounts are ok if any at all. I'm sitting here staring at this beautiful beverage with my mouth watering. Help. Lol
Thanks!

Answer

I used to work as a barista at Starbucks. We were always told to advise  pregnant women  (that we knew,  or it was obvious that were pregnant) to NEVER order the passion tea while pregnant. 
Yes, it is bad for your baby.  
The 4 stores I've worked at,  all told us the same thing.

Answer

OMG wait what? I drink the very berry hibiscus tea like daily...

Answer

"The bright pink flowers of the hibiscus plant get their color from the plant's high level of antioxidants. These antioxidants may deliver some benefits for pregnant women, but the plant may also influence hormonal activity, so don't consume hibiscus tea during your first trimester. There is no conclusive clinical evidence to support medicinal use of hibiscus and it should not replace conventional medical treatment. Discuss the risks with your doctor before drinking hibiscus tea."

Answer

From what is was told all Herbal tea should
be avoided. I was told hibiscus is not good while pregnant. I am a huge tea drinker but have stopped except for occasional Earl Grey tea. Not to mention the Trenta size with the caffeine is probably not great as well. I'm sure once in a while it's going to be just fine just don't make a habit.

Answer

I would definitely minimize your intake amount. Better safe than sorry is always my motto!
