Should You Choose Coffee or Tea?
For thousands of years people from all over the world have enjoyed it both for its health properties and taste benefits. Tea has long been a staple in the diet of the eastern world as well as in western countries, like Great Britain. Available in countless flavors, it is treasured by many for its versatility.
Some teas are treasured because they provide the perfect accompaniment to petit fours and finger sandwiches at a traditional afternoon tea party, while others are enjoyed for the calming and rejuvenation properties they confer after a long workout routine. Some people enjoy a mild cup of Chamomile Tea as part of their relaxing nightly routine, while others savor a good strong cup of Black Tea in the morning as part of a wake up routine.
Tea blends can be purchased in a vast array of flavor blends, all of which are all-natural, and many of which are herbal-based. While they are often enjoyed solely for their taste and other properties, many teas are rich in antioxidants. Teas potent in these extremely important natural substances are able to help shield the body from chemical free-radicals in the atmosphere, and to help it defend itself against the potential onset of many types of cancer. Green tea has long been thought to be one of the most potent in terms of antioxidants, and as a result it has been the subject of much scientific study in recent years. Recent studies have suggested that there may even be a link between the presence of green tea in the Japanese diet and the country's overall lower rate of cancer.
While it has never been doubted that tea has numerous potential health benefits, it has only recently been discovered that its common counterpart, coffee, may also have health properties which are beneficial for the human mind and body. In the past decade scientists have begun to analyze the chemical composition of the coffee bean, and, as a result, have found that dark coffee, like tea, is very rich in antioxidants. Due to recent studies it has been suggested that daily coffee drinking may help with memory preservation and with the prevention of certain types of common cancer.
For decades coffee drinks have been enjoyed both for their potent caffeine properties and for the unique, bold flavour of the black coffee bean. Many people enjoy sharing a good cup of cappuccino with an old group of friends, while others savor their daily break from work with a cup of dark, bold espresso. Thus whether it is enjoyed for its delicious, smooth flavor or for the rejuvenation it provides, coffee is beloved by thousands of Americans.
Like tea, coffee drinks come in a variety of flavors. Unlike tea, however, coffee beans from different parts of the world will reflect the unique climate and soil properties of their origins. One type of coffee grown in one part of the world will have a different flavor when harvested then one grown elsewhere.
One of the major differences between coffee and tea is that tea is more often savored by itself or with very few condiments. In contrast, coffee drinks often include many additives, such as a variety of types of milk, sweeteners, or syrups. Coffee drinks are prepared in countless ways. Thus while the coffee bean itself contains many wonderful health properties, certain coffee drinks can be high in fat or calorie content due to other additives. Tea is thus often a healthier bet than many coffee drinks.
Overall coffee and tea are very similar drinks in that they both possess a variety of healthful properties. However any coffee or tea lover will tell you that the two are quite different in both their flavor and the manner that they are enjoyed. - 17268
