Alternative forms of caffeine
I find the caffeine in these a little less harsh, so there are my go-tos for a morning of focus without the jitters.
I love everything Califia Farms does! Smooth and creamy, good if you want an iced matcha latte without the effort.
Matcha Almond Latte | Califia Farms
I've realised I'm not a DIY matcha girlie - I can never make it taste right, but this is the brand my friends use!
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea | Heapwell
I used to use SpaceGoods but prefer Dirtea! Mushroom power is my new favourite, and these ones really help me focus without making me jittery.
Chai Mushroom Drink | DIRTEA
Lemon and ginger is the most refreshing flavour, and yerba mate tea gives a nice light caffeine boost.
Morning Kick Tea | Bird & Blend
Best enjoyed with milk and honey, this is such a cosy drink. It makes for a delicious and warming pick-me-up.
Chai Tea | Brew Tea Co
I love mint so I am biased, but this is delicious! And it'll be a summer staple for 2025, too, as I think it'd be delicious cold.

Decaf drinks

I think I prefer Rooibos tea to classic builders tea; either with milk and a little bit of sugar or just black, it's delicious!
Rooibos Tea | Tick Tock Tea

Turmeric lattes scare me a little - I'm clumsy and would 100% stain everything I own. That said, I had to include this as they're such a cosy drink!
Organic Golden Turmeric | Golden Greens
I have never tried dandelion root coffee myself, but a forager friend of mine loves it. There are lots of others out there but this was the only one I could find that didn't require grinding before brewing!
