how's matcha green tea as substitute for coffee... (jittery, sleepy, effect)

[letsgetsomeanswers]

i'm seeking a worthy substitute for coffee. my case is i been using folgers instant for years without problem tlll those damn folgers fools put too much pesticide to it and ruined it. i later found i was not the only one to experience this when i found other testimonies as well.

i seem to have difficulty finding another instant brand that comes close to the cognition and mood boast of folgers instant. i tried both lines of instants and brews. and the results ranged from some making me sleepy to others simply not striking good stable mood and cognition boost.

has anyone experienced such a wide range of differences?



i suspect the problems lie in elements ranging from how coffee's grown to it's chemical composition. i'm quite surprised folgers was the only one that got it right before. i looked into what some experts have said on the matter such a mercola.


and i'm don't want to hear the suggestion of quitting. for people who don't get the positive benefits of coffee, my argument is this ,"why give up a good thing?", just because you don't know a good substitute doesn't mean there no answer out there.


i'm quite fed up with the great number of coffee brands out there as it seem too difficult to find a good brand.


i welcome substitution ideas from intelligent people out there that know of better replacements.



i like read from an article written by a scientist saying that matcha an ideal substitute to coffee as mind/energy boost while cancelling out the "jittery" effect of it's caffeine content.


can anyone testify to comparison between matcha and coffee?
