Read More »But first coffee — sound like anyone you know? Maybe those are the three words that describe your Monday morning… and every day after. Share on Pinterest If coffee is an integral part of your AM routine, then you probably already know the productivity and health benefits a cup of joe bestows upon us. However, sometimes our dependency on coffee and the caffeine boost becomes all too evident when we storm the kitchen, searching for the last drop of cold brew. For some, that dependency is a sign it’s time to look for a replacement. But is there truly an alternative that offers the same great taste and benefits as our morning lattes? Maybe not exactly — but there are plenty of coffee alternatives which can provide the energy and health benefits you need in the morning. The big question though is: Do they work? We spoke to 9 people who gave up coffee, their reasons for doing so, and how they feel now. Matcha and green tea Share on Pinterest Lauren Sieben, 29, Self-employed Why they quit: At the time, I was dealing with sinus and upper respiratory symptoms, and usually when I’m under the weather I skipped my morning coffee. But a couple of weeks of coffee abstinence turned into a shift away from coffee completely, especially since I realized after I quit that my coffee habit had been upsetting my stomach and making me jittery. Coffee replacement: I replaced coffee with tea of all kinds, though I do drink a lot of matcha and green tea. Did it work? Now that I’ve stopped, I don’t have those symptoms very often. I’m not sure if it’s the acidity, the caffeine, or a combination of both, but for someone like me with a sensitive stomach, I feel better getting a mild caffeine kick from tea and avoiding the stomach upset that often came with coffee. I still drink lattes every now and then — I think the milk helps ‘mellow out’ the espresso, not just in terms of flavor but in terms of caffeine and acidity. I don’t miss my daily cup of black coffee and at this point I don’t see myself making it a regular habit again. Melissa Keyser, 34, Writer and naturalist Why they quit: I quit coffee more than a year ago. I was having really bad anxiety and I almost constantly felt like I couldn’t fully inhale a deep breath. Coffee replacement: I liked the ritual of something hot, so I found a green tea I like. I’ve since discovered that even black tea or chai will cause the anxiety, but a toasted brown rice green tea (Genmaicha) is a perfect amount. Another good thing is that I’ve saved money! I never liked straight coffee, but my morning latte of free trade espresso and organic milk was eating up a significant amount of my cash. Did it work? I felt better right away.

Read More »Black tea Share on Pinterest India K., 28, Marketing consultant Why they quit: I quit because I went on a homeopathic remedy that prevented me from drinking it, but I also just didn’t enjoy it very much. Coffee replacement: I primarily drink black tea (often Assam or Darjeeling) and occasionally matcha these days. Did it work? Now that I’ve cut it out, I feel very good — coffee would make me jittery and overstimulated. I’ll never drink it again. Sara Murphy, 38, Writer and editor Why they quit: I went on an elimination diet for about 6 months, and coffee was the only food or drink that made me feel ill when I incorporated it into my life again. Coffee replacement: I exclusively drink black tea these days — I don’t really like the taste of white or green. Since I’ve always loved tea, too, I cut out the coffee. Did it work? I wouldn’t say quitting gave me any unexpected benefits, since I fully expected the abdominal pain and digestive discomfort to disappear once I stopped drinking coffee. Nor do I feel I’m missing out on a caffeine boost at all. People have suggested that I look for low-acid coffee and ensure I only drink it on a full stomach, but I don’t miss coffee enough to do that. Plus, my favorite work café is actually a tea shop with an 80-page menu, so it’s incredibly easy to stick with a cuppa instead of a cappuccino! About to be in Italy in a few weeks, though, so that might be interesting…
