Alternatives for black tea?

hello all! im an athletic person and I spend most of my day working out and practising. I have been drinking black tea before workout for a long time and it seemed to give me a great boost in performance .As time passed on I have been suffering lack of sleep and having multi sleep disorder. I know its probably I got addictive to the caffiene and it could be a side effect from my addiction to it, so I was just wondering are there any herbal teas that can help in athletic performance and can be generablly beneficial and good for the body and athletic perfomance? I bought Caraway Tea,Thyme Tea and Chamomile Tea, would any of these be good?

oh one more thing, What about having Green Tea Before Bed Time, does it work the opposite way as black tea?

thank you

Answer:
Hi Tony, yes Chamomile tea is a naturally caffeine-free tisane (herbal tea) and has a comparable amount of health benefits to its cousin, green tea. One of the safest medicinal herbs, chamomile is a soothing, gentle relaxant that has been shown to work for a variety of complaints from stress to menstrual cramps. Best known as a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic, chamomile also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory capabilities. I like this tea.

Try to do a Chamomile & Cranberry Tea

This unlikely combination is a great after-dinner quaff, as cranberry juice cleanses the palate while chamomile settles the stomach.

Make a one-cup serving for yourself (with one teacup of chamomile and 1/4 cup cranberry juice) or a full teapot to share with family and friends. This after-dinner "'drink" will surely become a habit in your house!

Green Tea is one of the most potent antioxidants available. It also contains some vitamins and minerals. Green Tea lowers the risk of cancer, but drink green tea better in the morning, I drink Green Tea primarily for the natural energy boost it gives me, without any unpleasant side effects.

green tea is really good in the morning to up your metabolism
im pretty sure its caffiene free too so should be fine to drink it before bed!

Green tea is a wonderful idea! I think you should try green tea in the morning and maybe a chamomile tea at night. Chamomile will help you sleep.
