Other options - obviously, herbal infusions rather than tea; green or white tea instead of black, and decaffeinating your own tea.
Option #3 basically involves steeping the leaves for about thirty seconds, throwing out that liquor, then resteeping the same leaves in fresh water (add about 15-30 seconds to the second steeping, typically).
Yes, I know. Almost six months out of the teashop gig and I'm still a huge tea nerd. :(
