Caffeine-Free Drinks at the Office – What to Offer Besides Coffee

1 min read

Not everyone drinks coffee, and some people cut caffeine in the afternoon. A few caffeine-free drinks make the kitchen work for everyone.

An office should stock a few caffeine-free drinks: decaf, a grain-based drink, fruit or herbal teas, and access to water. It is a simple addition that includes people who skip coffee or avoid caffeine later in the day.

Suggestions

How to serve them

Keep teas and grain drinks in a labeled container by the kettle. If the office has a coffee vending machine (publisher's site), ask whether the menu includes caffeine-free options.

No health promises

Choose drinks based on taste and ingredients, not slogans on the box. People know what they need.

FAQ

Is green tea caffeine-free? No, green and black tea both contain caffeine.

How many teas should we keep? A few popular ones are enough. Add more as the team asks.
