Been trying out some coffee alternatives lately.
Goals for coffee alternatives

- reduce post-coffee fatigue
- sleep better at night
- Be able to have as many tasy warm drinks as I want, whenever I want
Coffee Alternatives:
- Teeccino [[purchased]] [[caffeine-free]]
  - Link:: Teeccino
  - Link:: Amazon
  - Form:: Tea bag or grinds
  - French Roast
    - Doesn’t taste like coffee, but does hit some of the right notes.
    - It’s a little weak if you’re expecting coffee. Two teabags helps some.
    - Taste:: Robust, dark, chicory, a tiny bit sweet,
    - I think they’re selling themselves short, or setting themselves up for failure by claiming to taste like coffee. It’s more like a really nice, robust tea
    - Try brewed
    - Try with hot milk instead of water
    - Try iced brew
    - try iced latte
  - Flavors to try

  - Tried as a latte first. Used two packets instead of one.
  - Try brewed
  - Try with hot milk instead of water
    - Pretty tasty! Two pouches. Didn’t mix super well and was stronger at the end. Might need to let it desolve longer and then stir again.
