Coffee vs. Tea: The Great Debate
Loyal Allegiances
Coffee and tea lovers everywhere swear allegiance to the two most consumed non-alcoholic beverages in the world and rarely switch home teams, but there’s no harm in double-dipping, right?
Caffeine Content
You can find caffeine in both tea and coffee; however, tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid that provides anti-stress effects by increasing your brain’s alpha waves. Caffeine can be found in over 60 plant species and is a popular stimulating compound found in both food and drinks. Coffee is most likely to have an instant effect whereas tea’s effects happen gradually. Caffeine content can vary in brewing size, preparation method, and serving size, but coffee can pack twice as much as an equal serving of tea. Tea has limited amounts of caffeine compared to coffee.
Health Benefits
Both beverages are loaded with antioxidants which add to their flavor and health factors. Coffee contains nutrients essential for good health such as potassium, riboflavin, and B vitamins. Tea is rich in antioxidants and can be used to fight illness and diseases.
