This is a fairly sweet green tea with notes of cream and honeysuckle. There is also a strong floral and vegetal component to the tea as well as a slight sour taste. Lat night I drank rooibos in the hopes of getting to sleep. I couldn’t sleep a wink, I think because of caffeine withdrawals. Ironicallu, lack of caffeine can cause sleeplessness. Hopefully there is enough caffeine in this to keep me from going through withdrawals but not to keep me awake.
I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with 4 tsp leaf and 175 degree water for 1 min.

I couldn’t sleep last night either!
I am thinking of giving up on giving up on caffeine. If no caffeine makes it impossible to sleep at all, better off a green tea with low caffeine and no withdrawal symptoms.
Have you tried hojicha at bedtime? I have it about every night and it doesn’t affect my sleeping patterns.
No I haven’t but I think most greens have less caffeine, at least that is what my gastroenterologist says.
Yes, and houjicha supposedly has even less because of how roasted it is. Kukicha (and hoji-kukicha) are also good because apparently the twigs/stems don’t contain as much caffeine as the leaves.
Maybe you could just drink caffeine in the morning. I find if I drink some later in the afternoon it does give me problems.
That was exactly what I had done the night I had complete insomnia, I stopped drinking caffeine around 12 or 12:30 in the afternoon and didn’t sleep a wink. Last night with a green tea I slept good.
