What flavours of tea usually do not contain caffeine?
Just a short summary or list will do. I know that black and green teas are not what I’m looking for. Does anyone know the kind of tea that I might be looking for? : ]
Thanks champ – Are all herbal teas without caffeine?

Herbal teas like chamomile, rooibos (my personal favorite!), cinnamon, and peppermint are all caffeine free. You can also find teas made from flower petals and/or dried fruit (try SereneTeaz Apple Strudel or Fruit Melange) that are very good as well!
Try Herbal teas
Peppermint, Chamomile, Spearmint
Any real tea has caffeine but white tea has the lowest content, 15 mg per serving compared to 115 mg in a cup of coffee.
green tea hardly has any caffeine at all. i can’t handle caffeine at all, a coke will make me jittery. but i drink green tea at night all the time and it doesn’t have any effect on me.
most herbal teas also don’t have caffeine though.
Any herbal teas, or relaxing teas do not contain caffeine. My personal favourite is Sleepy Time tea http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/detail/373963b.jpg, as it contains no caffeine and tastes amazing! It is very relaxing and you fall asleep so peacefully.
Hope I helped
Herbal teas are not really tea since they don’t come from the camellia sinensis plant, but they don’t have caffeine. If you want real tea that has little caffeine, try white, green, or even yellow tea. (green tea actually doesn’t have that much caffeine.)
There is also a way to make any tea caffeine free (or greatly reduce the caffeine content). You would do this by simply brewing the tea leaves once with the proper water temperature and time, and discarding this infusion, then reusing the leaves again. Most of the caffeine will have left the leaf after the first infusion, so with the second infusion, you will have a lot less caffeine. (This method tends to work best with high quality white, green, oolong, and pu-erh teas, although it will work for all)
Most, but not all herbal tisanes are caffeine free. One of my favourites in Hibsicus. It is a little more difficult to find. Tazo’s ‘Passion’ is a hibiscus base and MOTEAS will have a Hibiscus Superfruit blend come the end of September. http://www.moteas.ca
As Cheezy said, you can decaffeinate tea yourself. Approximately 70% of the caffeine in tea is released in the first 30 sec. This means you only need to infuse your high quality whole leaf tea leaves for about 30 sec in only a few onces of water, this way you won’t loose too much flavour.
