i don’t think caffeine is healthy.
I’m addicted to caffeine, so I might be biased.
However, studies show it’s not a bad addiction

Do you want to give up caffeine? If you do, you can do it. I did it. Took me about eight months. I feel better now, no “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee”, no 3pm slump. But that was my choice, and as addictions go, I don’t know if it’s really that bad?
No study on caffeine wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room: Half the population has undiagnosed ADHD, and people use caffeine to self-medicate, usually unaware of why they are doing it.
Fair enough. There is evidence that coffeine can increase anxiety.

I would love to switch to tea. I just love the taste of black coffee.
i have some friends who got us some tea that they say tastes like coffee.
it’s awful but maybe you’ll like it?
You could try half-caf. I’ve found some good decaf coffee since I’ve effectively quit caffeine (in major doses, as I’m aware decaf still has SOME).
In case you think about switching to tea to avoid caffeine, you should know tea still has caffeine in it.
