I gave up coffee 12 years ago. The only coffee I have now is in cake or chocolate 😂

I gave it up because I'm one of those people who is super sensitive to caffeine. I stuck to tea from there on for a few years. tbf I was more of tea drinker but I have since all but given up caffeinated tea as well, as I found it making me jittery. It was a little tough as I realised how much I was I relying on it to keep me going. I used to get a real low dip in the afternoon where I had very low energy. So I had to learn how to get decent sleep and eat correctly for energy - without replacing it with sugar!!

The coffee was super easy to give up. I only had about one cup of coffee per day as any more than that would give me headache. The tea less so! I guess I could have been addicted or at least definitely reliant on the caffeine in the tea.

Now I make my own herbal tea blends (using the dried herbs) and if I want something similar to the traditional black tea I drink rooibos, which is caffeine-free.
