   I know you mentioned green tea but you might want to look at matcha if you haven't already. Similar caffeine level to coffee but the theanine balances out the caffeine so you don't get as jittery.

    I disagree with this. It's clearly personal preference. As an ex barista, I used to enjoy the shit that knocked your fucking socks off, which was always dark roasts. The sort of stuff that is standard fare in mediterranean countries. M
