kindkit: Two cups of green tea. (Fandomless: Green tea)

It's cold here at this time of year and I often find myself craving a hot drink before bed, but I shouldn't have caffeine at that point. Does anybody have recommendations for herbal or otherwise caffeine-free teas that actually taste good?

The other day I was lured, due to its being on sale, into buying some Yogi Tea "Bedtime" blend. It's . . . okay, but my quick read of the label while in the supermarket made me think it would taste orange-y, and it really doesn't. So I would especially like recommendations for citrus-y teas. I don't want anything that's heavy on the mint or hibiscus, and nothing too medicinal-tasting. Specific brand recommendations are especially welcome, or if you have suggestions for how to make my own blends, that would also be great.

Huh, I was under the impression that actually green tea had *more* caffeine in because it was less vigorously dried so less of it got broken down? Might be wildly misinformed, though.

A quick google search brought this: http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/green-tea

I knew it really depended on brewing times, but in general, green tea tends to have less as a general rule.
