Elevating mental health to be a part of your daily coffee ritual.
We are making coffee for caffeine sensitive people. We do this by producing the world's first caffeine replacement, paraxanthine. It's better than caffeine at waking you up and causes fewer side effects, like anxiety and jitteriness.
