There’s not much else that comes close to a morning ritual that involves coffee.

This is a special part of the morning ritual.

You only have to take a look at the myriad coffee-perfumed products in the market to understand why.

There are candles, essential oils, body mists, perfumes, and more.

And they smell amazing.

In the study involving the business students, the power of a placebo effect is apparent too.

The coffee-perfumed room made the students think they’d perform better which could have influenced the results.

DeSantis approached the experiment knowing that abstaining from caffeine would be particularly challenging for her.

What, then, are some effective things to replace your daily cup of coffee with?

As cardiologist Edo Paz toldBustle, “At its core, tea leaves contain more caffeine than coffee beans.

However, once both are brewed, the amount of caffeine in coffee exceeds that in tea.”

Perhaps light a coffee-scented candle while you drink it so you receive the placebo effects from the scent.
