I received this from Tetley today.  Thought I would share with the group.

Thank you for contacting Tetley USA Inc. regarding Celiac Sprue.
  
We are aware of the allergies suffered by some from gluten.  Tetley USA Inc. manufactures only tea and tea products.  All of the tea bags contain only tea leaves, which are decaffeinated by natural ethyl acetate extraction, and do not contain gluten.  The caramel coloring used as an ingredient in our iced tea mix is manufactured from high dextrose containing corn syrup, which is gluten-free. The tea bags, which are heat-sealed (including all of our Tetley brands), are closed with polyethylene, which is on the inner surface of the filter paper. This thin layer of plastic forms the seal when heat is applied. It contains no gluten.  

So, in essence, you simply need to choose the blend of tea that you think you will enjoy the most.

Thank you for your patronage!

Sincerely,
Amanda Burzynski
