No matter what beverage is your preferred morning beverage or nightcap beverage, both offer research-backed health advantages. But tea may hold an edge in terms of overall wellbeing.

Coffee and tea both provide powerful antioxidants that protect cells against cell damage. But their impact varies dramatically. Tea leaves from Camellia sinensis plants contain compounds which support mental clarity and focus, making tea particularly ideal for relieving anxiety. Its l-theanine acts like an anxiety-killer while simultaneously increasing alertness.

Consider that while both coffee and tea contain similar levels of caffeine, how much you drink will affect your energy levels differently. Coffee tends to increase cortisol levels which may result in bloating and changes in mood; raising blood pressure leads to headaches, stomach issues, and disrupt sleep patterns for those sensitive to caffeine or with slow metabolisms.

Tea has lower levels of caffeine compared to coffee and will not produce the same energy highs and lows, due to less fermentation occurring with its leaves and therefore less caffeine molecules being released into your system. As green and oolong teas have lower caffeine concentrations.

Taste is something to discover with both coffee and tea, from delicate floral aromas in China to Morocco’s refreshing mint; each region offers their own distinct character. Plus, tea tends to be lower calorie due to less milk being needed – meaning less fat and sugar are added with each sip!
