Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

I tried switching to black tea a couple of years ago because I realized that coffee was making my anxiety worse, but fucking hell did tea give me the jitters. I think I just have a bad reaction to tannins in general and apparently black tea is super high in them.

Give white tea a try sometime. It has almost no tannins and less caffeine than black tea. The flavor is much lighter and more fruity

Yeah! I think I mentioned it in another comment in this thread, but a friend of mine has recently gotten really into Gong Fu style tea and I've tried several white teas with him, and they didn't give me that jittery feeling at all.

A heads up if you start making it yourself that you don't want boiling water with white tea, it will burn it/make it bitter. It is delicious though!
