Yeah. I skip coffee altogether most of the time, and drink large amounts of black tea from yunnan instead. I get awake, but don't get an elevated pulse and tense stomach like I get from coffee.

Chinese tea is, imo, much better than Indian. So much less bitter and more fragrant. There's quite a large difference between different teas, also from the same region, so try a few different ones. I live in Copenhagen but go to a specific tea store in malmö for my tea.

If you are just after the caffeine, you can get it in tablets in a drugstore. They kick in almost instantly and way more forcefully than a comparable amount in a coffee drink.
