I’m glad you liked it since it was a quick off the cuff piece of writing. There seems to be nothing like feeling vaguely fluish and grumpy to put me in a Ludwig sort of mood for writing.
I’m not at all certain that a lack of tea really aids anything really though would something like camomile or fennel before bed be a plausible solution? For convenience Whittard’s (which I’m sure much have branches in the US) do a lovely Turkish Apple (http://www.whittard.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=103143&cid=it2010&language=en-GB) instant tea which really is wonderful too. And if fennel is a little too flat I’m currently experimenting with adding star anise and cardamom seeds to the mix to see what that produces and it seems to change the flavour quite admirably.
