I recommend red tea also called Rooibos over green tea because it is caffeine free. Re: green tea

Date: January 02, 2007 09:08AM My experience is that the further along the raw path I go, the more sensitive I get to poisons like caffeine and chocolate. I was a long time green tea drinker after I left coffee behind. I allowed green tea to gradually leave my diet when it no longer served me, rather than pushing it away in denial and guilt (self-judgement). I put it down and picked it back up several times, never knowing which one would be the last. I haven't had the craving for it in about a year.
The truth for me is that caffeine is a poisonous stimulant. The energy it "gives" is followed by an energy "crash" as the body uses energy to deal with the toxicity. Greenman's suggestion to try Rooibos is a good one, and to that I would add try other herbal teas if nothing else than to break up the routine and habit pattern. Re: green tea
