What kinds of tea do you drink?

Trying to quit caffeine by replacing coffee with herbal teas. What kind of tea (including medicinal mushroom teas of course) do you drink and what are the benefits? Right now I'm drinking chamomile for the calming effects, and ginger tea because an old neighbor swears by its immune system benefits.

Indian black tea for stimulation, lemon balm for relaxation and mint and wild thyme for the taste. I am wondering is there any way to maximize the effect of black tea and lemon balm. Sometimes I don't feel it, sometimes it's a really noticeable buzz.

i like organic herbal teas - i don't particularly like caffeine so i stick to herbs like mint, chamomile, honeybush, and my favourite right now is a blend called 'gold cup chai' which has cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cloves, orange peel and maybe a couple other things. 
as far as more medicinally beneficial herbal teas, you might want to look into ones like holy basil and gotu kola, those two have some really good benefits associated with them

My grandfather sends our family in the states a tea from the mountains in eastern europe. By far it is the best tea I've ever had and probably ever will have. A subtle sweetness with a pervasive calmness. Wish yall could try it.

drinking a chai mate right now.
shits bomb.
just soak the powder in lemon juice, and add hot water after like 15 min.
unless you're talking about non active mush teas. in which case reishi is really good for you, and moderately tasty if you have the pallet for it

i really like reishi, i don't take it as a tea instead i use a 20x extract powder of it and put a teaspoon in my morning smoothie. it's very strong tasting, but i feel it's a beneficial tonic to add to my daily routine

I'll probably try growing some reishi for a tea stash after I get some easier grows down. How long do you usually steep reishi tea? Add anything for flavor?

if you're a pussy 
haha you could add agave if it's too bitter I guess. I like it as is though.
i think I steeped for longer at lower temps and it was much better than a flash steep. it got way too bitter and kinda burned the tea when I steeped with near boiling water

I'm looking at Amazon and they have pills and extracts.
How do you prepare the tea?

if you find the taste too strong at the dosage you wish to take, you might find it more palatable to add it to a fruit smoothie also i have read that ingesting vitamin c at the same time as reishi increases your ability to absorb the reishi compounds

matcha guayusa chamomile, chamomile + lavender tulsi lemon balm roasted dandelion root nettles marshmallow root ginger
One of my favorite combos is fresh ginger w/ tulsi. Trying to phase out even the matcha and go no caffeine all together, but I'm only doing 1/2 tsp of matcha a day now which is nothing compared to the 2-3 cups of coffee a day I used to drink.
I love tea!!!
