    Try to avoid decaf unless it is filtered by water. Best bet is buying it from a coffee shop. Gloria Jeans has good decaf.
    There is a tea called Rooibos, it is south african and is caffeine free. Not sure it will keep you awake, but is' nice and good for you!
    I have a coffee every second day or so, don't worry too much if you have a little caffeine. There are also coffee alternatives such as dandelion tea. Check the ingredients first, but you can find them in the coffee section of the supermarket.
    Green tea has a fair bit of caffeine too, but one or two a day is still within with recommended limit. Make it weak as well, and it will be fine. xo

    Have an apple

    Apples are the best, natural alternative to give you the pick me up you are after. No artificial stimulants

    Dandelion tea (from health food shop is best) is good too.

    Think I will stick to just the one in the morning when I get up then.

    I do love an apple but they give me wind

    Hey there! As someone mentioned you can get dandelion tea. Otherwise peppermint tea is the go. Peppermint is a natural upper and doesn't have any caffeine in it. Otherwise get some strong mints and have one in the morning instead of coffee. I use minties as I won't gorge on them. lol.

    hi i drink far to much coffee in a day I think the withdrawal symptoms from stopping would be far worse than a few coffees a day and their are far worse things than coffee
