Default A REAL TEA (that just happens to be decaffeinated) ??

The reality of my age and heritage has come to the forefront and I've
developed a bit of hypertension and insomnia - not too high - high
enough, though, that I must forsake caffeinated tea from late
afternoon onward.
So - here's the rub: I really LOVE a decent pot of tea and the
decaffeinated I've had have lost flavour, as well as the buzz. Can't
stomach fruity or scented stuff and really adore a good, stiff Yunnan
Gold or a lingering Oolong and Shu and Sheng are my breakfast buddies.
Anyone out there with a suggestion???
Personally, I am seriously doubtful that there even be a palatable
decaf availabale (tea snob, that I am); but, I am willing to give it a
go.
Thanks, all.
