Spilling the Tea on Tea

items I don't like super sweet drinks, so during fall and winter, I tend to drink a lot of tea. I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, so I stop drinking anything with caffeine by noon and switch to decaf. Then before bed, I usually enjoy some herbal tea. Here's what I've tried and loved.

Caffeinated Tea
Tea contains less caffeine than coffee - brewed coffee contains about 100mg of caffeine. Black tea contains 40-70mg of caffeine. Green tea contains 20-30mg of caffeine. And white tea contains 15-20mg of caffeine.
Next to Clipper, this is my favorite black tea - I always look for an organic tea if possible.
TAZO Organic Awake English Breakfast Tea 144ct
If I can't find organic tea, I buy this one. An English classic!

Another good option if you're not looking for organic and don't mind a tagless teac bag. (BTW the tea bags are natural/unbleached).

When I'm in the mood for matcha, I like these organic matcha tea bags - less mess than a bag of powered matcha.

Decaf Tea

Friends from the UK introduced us to Cliiper teas. Deep, rich flavor - my black tea favorite.

A friend gave me this one in a gift set - a nice flavor but not as strong as Clipper.
Harney & Sons Vanilla Comoro Decaf Black Tea
Herbal Tea
Herbal tea, technically isn't tea, because it doesn't come from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. EXCEPT, Yerba Mate is often in the herbal tea section of your grocery store and it does include caffeine (70-90mg).
I just started drinking this one - it's perfect when you want those cozy spicy flavors without the calories or caffeine.
Clipper Organic Spicy Chai Herbal Tea, 50 Bags
One of my favorites for winding down at night - I've been driniking this for years!

When I forget to buy fresh ginger, I drink this tea between meals.
