Ask Dr. Gourmet

Dear Dr. Gourmet,

Is regular tea, iced or hot, contraindicated while taking Coumadin?

A: Dr. Gourmet Says...

Tea should not be an issue for those taking Coumadin® (warfarin). Black tea leaves are indeed high in Vitamin K, but brewing the tea uses small amounts of leaves. Consequently, there's a very low amount of Vitamin K in brewed tea — it should be safe.

Thanks for writing,

Dr. Gourmet
