Here in Australia we have this awesome store called T2. It does some amazing flavoured teas (the creme brulee one is possibly the best thing ever, and the rose and lavender ones are beautiful!) and gorgeous tea sets. If anyone wants to have a look here's the link: http://t2tea.com/

Tea, definitely tea. Don't even like the smell of coffee much less the taste. My boyfriend wants to be left in peace, he knows to just make a cup and I'll avoid him for a good while.

Recently found this tea too, which is just... divine...

Herbal tea for me - I am so hypersensitive to caffeine that even thinking about it makes my hands shake!
Pretty okay!

Get caffeine free tea! Almost every big brand over here in Ireland makes it now and personally, its all I drink and I can't tell the difference if someone gives me "the real stuff" until I can't sleep that night.

Can't even imagine what that must be like. My caffeine tolerance is so high that I can drink three cups of tea before I go to bed and still be asleep in ten minutes! Then again, I do drink tea like it's going out of fashion and I have caffeine pills too :P
But herbal tea is very nice, especially for relaxing. And I like a nice cup of camomile, peppermint or red bush occasionally for the same reason.

The thing with "caffeine free" is that it's still got caffeine, and those with a sensitivity are often still affected. I have family who are sensitive and rarely, if ever, have decaf coffee or tea. Some can't even have chocolate.

Decaffeinated teas work exactly as you described - they have a much lower dose, but they still have a little bit. I am one of those poor folks who can't have chocolate (except white, because there's no cocoa in white chocolate), and I've found that non-caffeinated teas are fine for me. Companies just have to be very careful with the way they phrase it, because no one wants a 23 year old having a heart attack because they said Caffeine Free when they really meant Decaffeinated.
