Is there a drink that has the health benefits of tea, but has a better taste?

I would like to drink hot tea, but I really don’t like it, so is there an alternative with the same health benefits, but has a taste I might like better? Preferably something that doesn’t have caffeine.
red wine or green tea are the best known anti oxidants
decaf cold green ice tea at the store .. sold in large packs, sometimes carbonated with lemon or lime extra flavoring as well maybe
Well there is a million different flavors of tea, so step outside the box & try a new flavor or a different type. Apparently you have been drinking sh*t tea because it’s really one of the best & most versatile drinks around.

I suggest try
Green tea
Jasmine Tea
Chamomile Tea
Any other hundreds of types of herbal teas
rosemary tea. it has tons of health benefits and it will give you a high similiar ti caffeine but better imo.
All teas that originate from the Camellia sinensis plant have the same health benefits because they come from the same plant. Therefore, the benefits of green tea are the same as the benefits of black tea and the same as the recently popularised Wu yi tea.
Logically, if teas which originate from the same plant have the same health benefits, they would also have same side effects. All these teas have tannin, which works in the same way as caffeine.
Teas I have mentioned so far come from leaves of the plant. If you choose to drink tea made from flowers (eg rose hip tea), then it will taste different. By the same token, tea from flowers will *not* have the same health benefits as teas which come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant (ie green tea, black tea, oolong tea, Wu yi tea).
One way you could get around the taste issue is to dilute down your tea. For example, in Wu yi tea, it is recommended you drink two cups of this tea for health. You could dilute this fluid with water so that there will be 4 cups of tea. This way, its taste will be less prominent.Have a look at tinyurl.com/clwcqh
