this should be really obvious

mmegaeraBut it isn't.
As I get older I find myself in a catch-22. I appreciate a cup of hot tea in the evening this time of year, but if I drink caffeine after about the middle of the afternoon, I have the devil of a time getting to sleep at night.
Drink herbal tea, you say? Well, I like the flavor of tea, and I don't particularly care for stuff that tastes like Not Tea. And I don't like the taste that results from what they do to decaffeinated tea to decaffeinate it.
Are there any naturally caffeine-free herbal teas out there that would appeal to someone who just wants the flavor of tea? (for the record, tea in my mind is plain black tea with a bit of lemon juice, no sugar, no milk -- and, no, the lemon without the tea is icky).
Oh, and I don't do coffee At All (not that that would solve the caffeine problem, anyway), and I don't need the calories of hot chocolate (not that I'm overly fond of hot chocolate, anyway).
Any ideas?
