Trying on green tea instead of coffee in the morning, as I get the jitters from coffee a bit too easily. Not giving up on coffee but it's fun to explore! 

Sorry it's not matcha lol, one of my gcs got me on jasmine pearls to kick things off. So far I'm enjoying the lovely fragrance, the flavor which reminds me of herbal more so than green tea.. that said it might take a few attempts to get the ratios right for caffeine intake.

Where are teaheads posting?
What's your favorite caffeinated tea? what's your favorite herbal?

Pearls and my favorite herbal below. (Vanilla emulates sweetness so well.)

Today I had my intro to loose leaf tea class!

I've been drinking almost daily for close to a decade but I never "learned" a lot of things, I kinda just vibed my way into the hobby (as most do).

I cleaned up my handwritten notes to share. It was a lovely experience and I have a much deeper love for tea now.

Here's some notes I took on tea, have been following the prescribe intake closely and it's been great.

I personally most love oolong as well as genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice), both are bold yet very nourishing to the soul.

/tea and /ito-en are good places to post!

Have water nearby to drink; sleeping can be dehydrating!

If you want a hard reset on your sleep cycle, try fasting for I think 16-18 hours and have your meal be breakfast (hence break fast). May need to double check this online, I forgot the exact amort of hours.

Aim to sleep/wake around the same time daily.

Use very dim lights during night when possible. while classic warm/white lights may get dim, see if you can get an LED light that can display dim red light. I think something with its position in the color spectrum is what makes it perceivably darkest.

White noise can help if you’re in a noisy / populated area (at least if the ear plugs don’t work out).

Journaling / brain dumping before bed usually helps me if I feel my mind racing or just very excited about something.

I’ve done many of these on and off and most help, hardest part is sticking to it.

What helped me the most with consistency was 1) moving in with my wife who prevented my degen hours and 2) my toddler haha

Aaah tyty! I think I'd read this previously but wasn't actively experimenting at the time so mostly passed it over. That said, I think the L-theanine note might have stuck and lead me in this direction!

Will think about how this info might best apply to my broken sleep schedule; Black tea might be a better initial approach to avoid unexpectedly extending my days further into the night until I've created better structure.
