If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.
Caffeine is an addictive substance.
If you are used to drinking coffee and don’t have your daily dose, you will feel terrible. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine and may experience anxiety.

I would love to switch to tea. I just love the taste of black coffee.

it’s awful but maybe you’ll like it?
In case you think about switching to tea to avoid caffeine, you should know tea still has caffeine in it.

You could try half-caf. I’ve found some good decaf coffee since I’ve effectively quit caffeine (in major doses, as I’m aware decaf still has SOME).
