For instance some people have claimed that tea helps them relax because there is something in the tea that works on relaxing the muscles etc. Any truth to such a claim and other claims like teas making a person more alert etc.
Can somebody name a few teas without caffeine that has some taste to it?
Teas: white, black, green (100s of varieties) usually contain caffeine, so yes it makes you more alert
Herbs (referred to as teas because of the preparation method) have different properties, chamomile is relaxing, willow bark would be a pain reliever, etc.

I am not a tea drinker, but I like the IDEA of tea being soothing, or making me sleepy, or settling my s
tummy, or making me relaxed, etc. I usually buy it, but then never get around to drinking it.

Relaxation effects aren't about feelings, in the warm, fuzzy sense. They're about tranquilizing effects on one's neural system. Same with stimulant effects, with the opposite result. Certain chemicals in teas and other infused beverages can produce certain physiological responses if you're particularly sensitive to them.
There can be a psychological effect, too, if you associate having a cup of tea with a nice, calming thing to do, or if you tend to drink a cup of tea in the a.m. to help wake you up. It's as much about the ritual or routine's effect on you psychologically than any biological response, in that case.
There are millions of varieties of tea and tea beverages. To avoid caffeine, you'll have to stay away from a lot of true teas, as all tea leaves have a some caffeine content (not as much as coffee, though). And, yeah, the tannins in tea can and will stain.
Herbal and Rooibos "teas," (actually, infusions, not tea at all) are naturally caffeine free.
Most tea is just another drink with caffeine. Same effect as coffee. You want taste ...you add sugar. I've never seen any evidence of it browning teeth. Kool-aid is more likely to stain teeth I would think.
i don't think they have nearly as much caffine as coffee, but they do have caffine. So when I hear tea relaxes you, I wonder how. Obviously I am not a huge tea drinker, though I do drink it some.
Most of the tea billed as "relaxing" does not actually contain tea leaves, but is an herb infusion instead (chamomile is a big one pushed as being relaxing).
