Coffee w/ L-theanine is a whole different thing, worth trying. I quit caffeine for most of 2020, then had a Taika (taika.co) out of curiosity.. now I drink it regularly. For me, it removes most of the downside of caffeine, including withdrawal headaches.

I came here to say this. Coffee makes me very anxious and makes it hard for me to focus on tasks. I throw in some L-theanine and suddenly everything is ok. Using drugstore capsules makes it really cheap too.
