      There are plenty of “teas” (other infusions) which don’t have caffeine. I swapped out black tea for rooibos, it’s not exactly similar but it hits the spot.

      If you are Caffeine Sensitive, and Like Coffee…

      There are a few brands out there that make a really good Decaf Coffee and some roasters and Coffee Suppliers are actually giving more of a shit about their Decaf offerings. It does get a little pricier per bag of beans, but - might be worth shopping around if you have some independent shops/roasters around you.

      Have you found a non caffeinated alternative? Also weaning yourself off caffeine works so much better.

          I can tell you that there are decent decaf options, and you should never forget that you habits also enforce that a new coffee taste will be harder to accept. Maybe to get you going you go off normal coffee cold turkey for a bit and then start up with some decaf. I did it this way when i stopped using tabaco and switched to vaping pure product. Before, the flavours were all off, now i can never go back to smoking with a flame :)

      There are decaf black teas if you want that. Or plenty of herbals.

      I avoid stuff with hibiscus, which limits the herbals I can drink since it’s so prolific, but there are plenty of them.

        I thought it would be awful but I briefly had to cut caffeine to check if it was a trigger for something and I got a bag of loose-leaf decaf earl grey and it was absolutely fine which was encouraging (and good that i could tell my Dad now that he has had to cut it for the forseeable future).
