Evening alternative to black tea/coffee

    I drink a lot of black tea and coffee. In the evenings it has always been tea and only recently it has begun to affect my sleep pattern.

    I can't stand the taste of green tea or earl grey. Can anyone recommend any teas that would be as robust as a good black tea/coffee but not stoked up with caffeine.

    (Decaff is antathema to me btw ;) )

    Try a Red Bush herbal tea.

    Rooibos is lovely too and has no caffeine.

    I was going to suggest matcha, it's a fun little ceremony too, but saw you don't like green tea!

    Lemon tea is nice and refreshing for a summers evening

    +1 on rooibos. Fairly similar your regular tea, has a nice flavour and I find it helps me sleep better.

    Green tea can be a bit bitter.

    You could try white tea. It is much nicer to drink and has a chocolatey aftertaste to it. It has all the same health benefits as green tea and is made from the same tea leafs though they are picked earlier.

    I drink 3-4 cups a day and it really is refreshing and nice.
