Tastes like camping...

 A splendid strawberry wine from Lindisfarne (14.5%), after sherry and a nice bottle of rosé.  It's fathers' day, you see.

Black cocoa.

(i.e. cocoa powder in hot water, unsweetened and unmilked)

Sounds like you need some Klatchian coffee for night shift assistance. The sphere-world analogue is reputedly available at Tesco, if you have those in your neck of the woods (?).

And under what brand name does Tesco market this preparation, pray tell?

Sorry, I neglected to respond.  I'm not sure what the brand will be, but you are looking for (preferably powdered) betel nuts, which will likely be labelled as 'supari' (reputedly legal in Britain; Canada restricts imports but not sale or use).  Tastes like if you put all the tannins in an oaky red wine into the cork, and then chewed the cork.  My usual method of preparation is dehydrating an aqueous extract for buccal or sublingual consumption, but I suspect it'd work fine mixed with coffee as well.  Arecoline is good stuff, although excessive consumption does tend to have a bit of a Klatchian coffee effect (a shot of liquor works equally well to take the edge off).  IMHO it's safe for operation of moving vehicles as it sharpens one's focus a great deal.  Less jittery than caffeine or spinny than nicotine, but otherwise similar to both.

Warning to any ecologists stuck beyond dunny range - larger amounts can be quite stimulating to the digestive system.  This stuff was formerly used by veterinarians for expulsion of worms by brute force.

Green tea with fresh lemongrass.

I started doing a type a of lemongrass tea some time ago, water, lemongrass infusion with some sugar. But I'm not much for sweet tea so I soon left out the sugar and upped the lemongrass content which made me run to the bathroom repeatedly the rest of the evening and half the night... You see, lemongrass is diuretic... 

I love the taste but it gets a bit watery on it's own unless one uses a lot of lemongrass so I tried to let bits of freshly cut lennongrass stems infuse together with a good green tea, it's good.
Much better than the lemongrass flavoured tea one can find in tea shops which tend to smell like perfume and taste either too sweetened or too bitter.
