The Caffeine Alternatives

For people who enjoy hot drinks, there are plenty of tasty, caffeine free options, such as organic herbal teas, fruit teas, rooibos tea and a wide variety of herbal coffee alternatives based on barley, chicory and rye.

Decaffeinated coffee is another option. Caffeine is removed from the coffee beans using one of three things – chemical solvents (which may leave low levels of residue behind), water or carbon dioxide.

However, decaffeinated coffee will still contain very low levels of caffeine and two other stimulants – theobromine and theophylline.
