Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.
L-theanine might help with caffeine's side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It's believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.
I never knew that, thanks for sharing! Also, username checks out.
If you want a rush, try gyukuro. Flavor of an umami green tea with the caffeine level of a cup of coffee & high L-thiamine to cut the jitters.
I lived it the UK briefly & my roommate never understood my fascination generally preferring his Yorkshire tea (trash). One day he asked about it so I made him a mug (we used coffee mugs). He said it tasted like yard clippings like other green teas before walking off continuing to sip to not waste it. He comes back in 15β20 minutes later over halfway finished, βDid you put drugs in thisβ½β. βNope.β βI feel like I want to run a marathon. Okay, I see the appeal for your mornings, but this is the worst high ever.β
