I'm off the Coffee and I don't drink regular tea. Some kind of hot drink would be nice, as long as there's no caffeine.

Any Recommendations?

beautiful,im not a big fan of normal tea and cant drink coffee late at night unfortunately so this does nicely.

Sounds a bit sickly sweet?

i hate the fruity ones. peppermint is nice, and theres a chamomile and spiced apple one thats nice too. i drink loads of these when off the coffee. thinking of quitting it again myself.

i love green tea, but you'll have to get the specifically decaf version of it, it has caffeine. of all the hippy teas its the only one i like.

Fallon & Byrne stock a fairly big range of teas. I like the Ginger ones. Solaris Botanicals is an Irish company with a nice range of very fancy teas, and a fine web-site

well,i do have a sweet tooth but i dont think its too much,i got all my mates hooked on it now.
alternately,as suggested by shaney,peppermint is delicious or hawthorn might be worth a look,similar enough to green tea and supposed to be good for your heart too.

Why do anarchists drink herbal tea? Because proper tea is theft.

You should check out the joy of cha in temple bar.
There's lots of herbal teas that you wont get in a supermarket and they'll make you a bag of what ever one you want, so you can have it at home too.
The Bad weather tea is lovely.

Nettle, ginger, spiced apple, blackcurrant, vanilla and/or combinations of them are all good in my book. Also Camomile especially if you get the actual dried flowers and stick them in a pot. Also hot Ribena or other blackcurrant cordial is amazing.

In saying all that I'm too lazy to make hot drinks other than my expresso in the morning.

theres a place on berekeley st, of all places, called The Organic Flower Power Tea Rooms where you can sit and sip a nice pot of all sorts of tea. its a bit of an ordeal trying to decide which sort of tea to have as there are so many to choose from and you will have to sniff dozens of glass jar lids. the decor is also a little questionable but overall the place is pleasantly curious. its the kinda place squares with bohemian inclinations might go.

We gotta a monkey to climb high up into the trees to pick tea.
You all know what kinda tea we're smoking as well.

rooibos tea is the one i drink most, it's only nice on its own though - when there's vanilla or lemon or anything else added to it it tastes shit.
ginger, jasmine & peppermint are good too

these guys do lots if really nice teas as well, the pleasure and three gingers ones are savage, you can get them in pretty much every health food shop in dublin.

the sweet chili tea and egyptian licorice are good, all the other ones i've tried were a bit weak, available in health food shops too

there's a stall selling tea in the georges arcade that does a nice green tea with blueberry & strawberry. there's a shop in the powerscourt townhouse with a huge range of teas but i've never managed to go in and try any of them so no recommendations...
oh, avoid that tea shop across the road from cornucopia on wicklow street, it's really overpriced.

just counted and i've 29 different types of tea in the kitchen, is that a record?
