I recommend trying Yerba Mate as an alternative to coffee. At least for me it gives a way more balanced, long-lasting energy, rather than coffee which gives me a huge spike and then goes down fast & makes me anxious. Online I've seen lots of people have very similar experiences with it.

I'm from the Brazilian south and tbh, a few times I prepared mate with the tea from Argentina and got the shakes just like I had 5 espressos. I think too much water was in contact with the tea, which in this version is too fine and maybe I just ingested a lot.

I'd say the regular process of mate drinking is like having a progressively dilluted coffee/tea , so I expect it to be mild...
