The green tea is to ween you off caffeine without any ill effects. You are also correct in assuming that the amount is so small it does not effect the taste. Another easy way to do this is to mix half coffee and half maca and reduce it down until you have ZERO coffee and ALL Maca FACA. Either way, you will be off the bean in no time. Keep us posted! Joy Constance,

I cut out caffeine 30 years ago. But a year ago, I had a tiny cup of it, and, long story short, now am totally addicted again! Talk about an addictive drug. I'd like to try your recipe to get off of it again. Is the green tea only to add a little caffeine, to help the body adjust without headaches? I don't like the taste of green tea. Is there something else to substitute? Or is it so little, you don't even really taste it? Thanks, Constance Oh, Lordy. I cut out caffeine 30 years ago.

Can't believe it! This recipe for Maca Faca ROCKS. Caffeine has been my Monkey for much much too long. I would have never thought I could get off coffee without going thru that 10 days of Migrane-Pain. My Yo-Yo diet with coffee has an ongoing struggle for decades. This is the first time that I've gone off coffee AND felt good while doing it. I actually enjoy this recipe for Maca Faca as much as I enjoy a good cup of coffee. Also, the process for making it is much like my ritual for making French Press. I think I like the process and ritual of making my morning drink as much as I enjoy imbibing it as well. Thanks for coming up this recipe Joy. It worked for me! Hellz Yes! Can’t believe it!

Way to watch out for your bro! Travis did great on this drink during the raw cleanse. He still does the bean- he loves Two Dollar Tuesdays at Dutch Brothers! But he has cut his consumption considerably and drinks it by choice when he wants to instead of waking up like a zombie joensing for that first cup-o-joe. The idea is to get the monkey off your back. Remember this revolution is all about balance, not abstinence of what your love to eat/drink. To your good health, Joy Dru,

If you ever want to heat this beverage up, go for it. It's still better for you than coffee, but don't denature it by popping it into the microwave. Heat it in a pan on the stove. If you dig it cold, it keeps all the raw benefits as well. If you need a mid-morning pick me up a nice, anti-oxidant rich green tea will give you the satisfaction of a warm drink as well. Good for you for making a healthy switch! Thanks for sharing with me. To your good healthy, Joy Carla,

I loved my hot coffee in the morning and when I have tried to go off before I suffered horrible headaches. I started this 2 weeks ago and I am happy to say that not only have I not had a cup of coffee but I feel soooo much better. I don't crash during the day my stomach is not bloated and my skin is looking great! This is a wonderful alternative and I am so happy that I found you. Thank you again! Hi Joy,
