Good luck 🍀

Best of luck to you my friend.

Gonna be my second time trying to drop drinking coffee

I've tried several times but been on coffee since I was a child. Sat in the kitchen with my PawPaw and Dad hanging out while they shot the breeze. I got faith in you brother. 👊

If you're not a fan of caffeine but are of antioxidants, it's absolutely the way to go👌🏻.

It has advantages, but personally I prefer coffee. 😅 The l-theanine in green tea is a really nice.

Find good quality looseleaf tea if you can. Dragon Well is usually a great variety that isn’t too hard to find.

If you need an espresso equivalent, consider matcha.

Matcha is 🤮

I’m thinking to replace with Pu’er 🫖

Whoo! We have exactly opposite tastes 😅 I think pu’er is musty and unpleasant

It is cool, though, and has an interesting history. Enjoy 🫖

I also like milk oolong

So if you’re open to non-green teas, then, I have to recommend oolongs.

The most amazing floral and fruity flavors naturally in tea leaves are somehow brought out in high quality oolongs. Transcendent experiences 💯

Not top shelf but high enough to make me go “this is amazing” and relatively easy to find is Guan Yin oolong.

No

My buddy swears on his gyokuro!

But why?

Coffee is good for your health!

I don’t think that coffee is healthy

That's fair. I'm not going to try and convince you of the opposite

Try it. I have been doing it for years. It can give you a zen-like peace of mind and clarity. Don’t do tea bags though. Buy Japanese green tea and watch a tutorial online how to prepare it. Matcha also nice, but definitely more difficult to prep and stronger. Health-wise green tea is supposed to be cardio protective while coffee is more protective against cancer, if you trust any studies these days… so why not do both… :)

I am looking into something like Pu’er gotta go to Chinatown

Interesting, Pu’er tea seems to be not really a green tea though. Definitely not my cup of tea! Good for weight loss maybe?

Yeah it’s not the green but that’s for morning and green oolong after lunch

How about both?😸

There are coffee-alcohol, tea-alcohol, tea-coffee combinations in Japan convenient stores

This is how I roll: coffee in the morning and green tea the rest of the day 🫡

I do this a lot when I feel A cold coming on

Chicory maybe...

First time hear

People told me that is replacement for coffee. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicory

Chicory is a good ersatz of coffee but doesn’t quite offer green tea’s benefits at all.

It was very popular in France and Italy, now fading because it’s a natural product with little to no industrial fucking shit inside.

Still largely available in supermarkets, this brand is hyper popular.

Good for children and adults alike

Which is more enjoyable to brew? Making coffee feels more chemical/culinary for me

why give it up? why not mix it up? I usually drink a cup of green tea one day. a cup of black tea, another a cup of coffee, another iced coffee another spice it up life's too short

I feel like coffee gives a quick temporary boost but then hits hard and slows down so I have to drink more and more

It's a drug, it certainly hits everyone differently. Getting enough sleep the night before is more important but not always possible. I was up until 1:00AM last night replacing sway bar endlinks in my car and had an early 7:00AM meeting. So it's a coffee day today.
