Coffee vs Alternatives: Matcha, Chicory, Golden Latte
Matcha, chicory, golden latte, chai… Overview of healthy alternatives to classic coffee.
Coffee: friend or foe?
Coffee isn't bad per se — it even contains beneficial antioxidants. But excessive consumption can cause anxiety, sleep issues and dependency.
Coffee alternatives
Here are the best alternatives we serve at Granola Geneva:
- Matcha latte: gentle caffeine with L-theanine for calm energy
- Golden latte (turmeric): anti-inflammatory, caffeine-free
- Chai latte: comforting spices, low caffeine
- Chicory: coffee-like taste, zero caffeine, prebiotic
- Ceremonial cacao: rich in magnesium and theobromine
- Rooibos latte: gentle, caffeine-free, antioxidant-rich
Matcha, our favorite alternative
Matcha offers the best of both worlds: sustained energy thanks to L-theanine, without the coffee crash. That's why it's our most popular drink after coffee.
