Chamomile tea

Chamomile is an herbal infusion, not a true tea, so it skips the caffeine and processing that can make other teas trickier.

• No oxidation, no amines — because chamomile isn't processed the way black or oolong tea is, it doesn't pick up the small amounts of biogenic amines that come from fermentation

• Rare sensitivity — chamomile belongs to the ragweed family, so people with ragweed pollen allergies occasionally find it irritating; this is a separate allergy mechanism from histamine intolerance, though the symptoms can feel similar

It's one of the more relaxing evening options if you're looking to wind down without affecting your sleep.
