I've also noticed that caffeine can sometimes make stress or anxiety symptoms worse, especially during periods of high stress or poor sleep. When I reduced coffee and switched to lower-caffeine drinks, I felt less jittery and more balanced during the day.
One option I discovered is hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea that naturally contains much less caffeine than regular green tea or coffee. Some people prefer it when they want a warm drink without the strong stimulant effect.
I came across a helpful explanation about the benefits of low-caffeine hojicha tea and why people use it as a gentler alternative:

Sometimes small changes like reducing caffeine can make a noticeable difference in stress levels.
