i'm wondering if anyone's tried this much yet. i've been drinking a decaf white/green tea blend for over a week now.
white tea is supposed to have higher concentrations of catechins and antioxidants than green tea...
despite the decaf, it seems to have an energizing effect. i was curious if anyone could confirm this.
and it tastes much better than green tea...

Yes, I drink white tea when I can afford it. Puer my tan, might be the right name.
There's all sorts of grades.
The stimulant effect from it does not come from the caffeine alone, IMO. I don't imagine there's much caffeine in it.

yeah, white tea is supposed to have the least amount of caffeine.
good earth white/green tea blend is fairly inexpensive.
i think someone said the catechins are COMT inhibitors, so that would mean more dopamine/norepinephrine...

What I do about the tea/insomnia thing is drink it like crazy, but only until after lunch, and then I stop.
Then I drink high antioxidant berry mix with vodka before dinner.

yeah, i've been trying a glass of red wine before bedtime, but i seem to be waking up a couple hours earlier in the morning.
this morning i took a b-vitamin, for the riboflavin, and it seemed to put me back to sleep...
i've been claiming that riboflavin eats up excess neurotransmitters, due to it being a factor in MAO action...
