ISKCON principles

Submitted by Godchaser on Sat, 2012-06-16 08:21

No gambling
No meat eating
No illicit sex
No intoxicants

I want to get clarification on something, the first 3 of the above principles i understand.
No intoxicants- is where my problem lies. I've been an avid tea drinker for a long time and have only just learnt that it can actually hinder my spiritual advancement. According to ISKCON principles we aren't suppose to have tea/coffee because of caffeine, does that mean i can have rooibos tea?
