About

Tea or Coffee is a practical guide for people who want better focus, steady energy, and fewer jitters. I compare coffee, tea, and low-caffeine alternatives and translate research into simple choices you can actually use.

I’m not here to sell “miracle” drinks. I care about what works in real life: caffeine dose, timing, tolerance, sleep impact, and anxiety triggers. When a recommendation has trade-offs, I say it directly.

How I choose recommendations
I use a mix of evidence (human studies when available) and practical testing: how a drink feels in the morning vs afternoon, how it affects sleep, appetite, and anxiety, and what changes when you switch brewing method or dose. I also highlight who should be careful (pregnancy, medication interactions, reflux, anxiety disorders).

What you’ll find here

• Tea: options for calm focus, digestion, and low-caffeine routines.
• Coffee: performance, timing, and how to avoid crashes.
• Comparisons & Guides: side-by-side decisions and “what should I choose if…” guides.
