Same.

I have the usual on-again/off-again love/hate relationship with coffee and caffeine.

I want to switch to decaff espresso beans and drink mainly tea (both decaf black and regular sencha).

If I could keep my daily caffeine intake below 75 mg or so, then I'd be happy. (In most cases, that's the least that's in 1/2 cup of coffee.)

A lot of this is psychological tied into the physiological. You don't need caffeine to function---for the most part, you need caffeine to alleviate the withdrawal from it so that you can function normally.

If you can get over the "but I need it" trap, you can go far.
