like theophylline (tea) and theobromine (chocolate). You just need to drink more tea or eat more chocolate to feel the benefits, not a problem for me in either case.

I find more than half a cup of coffee's worth of caffeine to be unpleasantly jangling, so I stick to a very low amount. I never react badly to avoiding it with such a low amount.

My other problem with caffeine is a total lack of appreciation for coffee. Good coffee or bad coffee, it all tastes like battery acid to me.
