I am too new to the proper tea drinking to advise you. Also, I am completely opposite to you in a sense that I don't drink flavoured teas. ProfCrash would the pro

4. I am bit surprised you drink it
Quote:
4. Night time sipping with books & cats. Already have the Lapsang Souchong for this
at night time because it is a tea with caffeine.

1. Rooibos is caffeine free, basically not a tea at all but a tisane. So your choice is the right one. Rooibos with dozens extra flavours.
Anytime you want to drink caffeine free tea, you could try another tisane Lapacho
Quote:
Lapacho or Taheebo is a herbal tea made from the inner bark of Pink Ipê, Tabebuia impetiginosa. It is also sold under more ambiguous and possibly misleading names like "Ipes", "Ipê", "Pau d'arco", "Ipe Roxo", or "Trumpet Bush".
Supposedly good for health

2. I would dare to suggest Pu-Erh aged/shu, not the green one, but people say it is an acquired taste. The best after meal tea I have discovered.

3. I usually drink pick-me-up in the morning when I only set my feet into the office. I drink Assam BPS CL Mangalam
It is a very strong tea. Like somebody takes a hammer and hits you on the back of your head, but tenderly with a very pleasant taste This particular Assam is unlike any other Assam I tried.
There is another one, roasted mate. I think Mate is one of the pick-me-up teas, but in a form of tisane
