    One of my current favorites is Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry. I expected just so-so blueberry flavor, but this is really great blueberry flavor. It's wonderful hot and even better iced.

    I have the same problem you do. Although the doctor has told me it is nothing to worry about, it still bothers me when I feel it.
    I only drink herbal teas now, because even decaf teas and decaf coffees have some caffeine. I can't seem to tolerate any at all. Good thing I'm not a chocoholic!
    I like Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime and Bigelow Perfect Peach

    Another caffeine refugee here, have recently had to cut out diet coke completely and with it has gone my caffeine tolerance - it plays merry hell with my blood sugar. A coffee in the same day I am exercising is now a no no.

    I've been cultivating a herbal/fruit tea habit now. I love peppermint tea and Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer too (the Lemon Zinger is minging though), but unfortunately I can find very few CS teas around here, need to start looking harder after all the yummy sounding ones in this thread.


    My current favourites are Dr Stuarts pure Fennel tea and Clipper Blackcurrant and Echinacea (yum yum yum). Also love the Yogi tea cinnamon spice

    I just made a pitcher of iced Madagascar Vanilla Red (Roibus) and True Blueberry (3:1), mixed it with pomegranite blueberry juice. YUM! No sugar, yet tasty and a bit tangy.

    This morning I was making rounds at the hospital. No caffeine on board at all. I haven't had any caffeine for ... a week? Not even decaf tea. And my heart was really bugging me. I counted 8 PVCs in a minute. I was on call last night, but mostly was lying down in the call room. Didn't sleep well, got paged a couple of times, but it was an "easy" night, for sure. So. There's just no predicting it. It can be really uncomfortable when it gets going like that. The worst I ever counted was 18 in one minute. That's like skipping every third beat. I just remind myself that it would be worse with caffeine. I hope that, without caffeine, it will get better over time.

    Tazo makes an Orange Spice tea that is my hands-down favorite tisane (the official, fancy-pants word for non-tea-tea!). Great both hot and iced.

    Stash also makes a nice tea called "fusion" that's a white-green blend; it has some caffeine, but very little.
