Coffee Alternatives That’ll Wake You Up (Sans All That Caffeine)

Golde’s Pure Matcha will give you natural energy in the form of 100% shade-grown tea leaves from Uji, Japan — which also happens to be the birthplace of matcha. With antioxidants and amino acids, the green superfood will help you get, and stay, alert.

MUD\WTR is 100% organic and has one-seventh the amount of caffeine as the average cup of coffee, which comes from the masala chai in it. It also contains good-for-you ingredients like cacao, lion’s mane (a type of mushroom), turmeric, and cinnamon.

This low-caffeine coffee alternative, Super Brew Mix by Your Super, contains Ayurvedic ingredients, adaptogens, and superfoods. With black tea, dandelion root, and chaga (a type of mushroom), you won’t even realize you’re not drinking actual coffee.

Dandy Blend is a caffeine-free herbal beverage made of just five ingredients, including roasted barley and rye extracts, as well as dandelion root, of course. So if you want the taste of coffee — but without the caffeine — it’s worth sipping on.

FigBrew is, yep, made from figs, so you don’t have to worry about drinking an acidic pick-me-up. They have a caffeine-free version, as well as a half-caff one, and one that contains chai, matcha, and beetroot if you want an extra kick (and health boost).

Rasa is a wellness tonic/herbal coffee alternative with 3100mg adaptogens per serving. The 12-herb blend is part nutty, part sweet, and will help wake you up without typical caffeine jitters.

You can get Guayakí Yerba Mate in single-serving sachets (75 in a bag) or loose leaf, and it has less caffeine than coffee (40mg per serving). Plus, it’s healthy, providing you with antioxidants and better mental focus and energy.

RYZE Mushroom Coffee contains adaptogenic mushrooms, which will provide you with half the caffeine as regular old coffee. Plus, it’ll provide you with health benefits, like increased focus and immune support.

If you still want some caffeine, but in the form of black tea, this Chai SuperLatte by Clevr will do the trick. It also has oat milk and coconut cream in it, so it’ll be as though a barista made it. Plus, ingredients like lion’s mane (a mushroom) will help boost your focus and mood, too.

Everyday Dose will stimulate you… but from its mushroom content (no coffee here). With ingredients like functional mushrooms, collagen, protein, and nootropics, you’ll get all-natural energy.
