For so many of us, the "morning coffee ritual" is more than just a cliché: it's a way of life, whether to shake the morning cobwebs off; or to stimulate the bowels, to keep regular; or simply for a few minutes of quiet contemplation before launching into a hectic day. But what if the actual coffee in it isn't really doing you any favours, because it first makes you anxious or jittery, and then leaves you feeling sapped when it wears off, yet lingers in your system to interfere with your sleep?
Fortunately, there are caffeine-free alternatives, and Organic Traditions draws on a number of them here to replicate many of the same benefits. First, to approximate the actual coffee flavour, it blends four types of roasted plant extracts: two old stand-bys, chicory and dandelion (which also do double-duty by helping stimulate bowel movements), plus barley (which has been used as a coffee substitute in the UK as "Barleycup") and rye. Then, to provide the familiar short-term boost for your concentration, focus, and reaction time, it includes lion's mane extract, which may also actually help enhance nerve growth and boost memory when taken over a longer term. It also includes maca root powder, to help maintain energy levels. And to smooth it all out, it provides coconut milk and coconut sugar (and another natural sweetener, lucuma), along with vanilla, cinnamon, cacao powder, and a hint of sea salt, for flavouring.
