Tea is better for the circulation of your body espaccialy green tea. Coffee often makes you mote awake for a while but gets you even more tired when it «goes out» of your body. Tea is good for the metabolism.

I recommend tea over coffee for many reasons. Tea is generally lower in caffeine than coffee. Since lower in caffeine than coffee it can be consumed at anytime during the day or night with out fear of keeping you from sleeping. Ultimately I prefer and recommend tea over coffee because there are so many readily available tea varieties and flavors to choose from and these varieties and flavors can be incorporated with other fruits, herbs and vegetables to form an unlimited variety of beverage choices to enjoy.

Tea is rich in antioxidants and has a lower caffeine level than coffee. Also tea is less acidic than coffee so it’s better for an upset stomach.

Is it really? That’s a question for which I’m afraid I have no answer. Both tea (depending on the type) and coffee mess with your sleep cycles. Also, both might have a lot of chemicals, so regardless of what you have, try choosing bio or organic brands. I have recently reduced my coffee intake to one cup per day. It’s hard but it pays of in the end :) I sleep much better now. At night I have an infusion instead of tea. If you are trying to create a new habit, my experience is that you should not be too drastic. For instance, if you have 5 cups of coffee per day, don’t suddenly give up coffee altogether. Try reducing the amounts instead. I hope this was useful advice! Have a great day

Higher anti oxidants and depending on the variety less caffeine. White tea has the same caffeine content as decaf coffee. Green average about 30mg. Black tea has about 60mg. Compared to coffeee average 180mg. Making the tea allowing it to steep can give you the opportunity for reflection. Personally I prefer tea when doing outdoor activity. Coffee when I’m urban.

For me, matcha tea works best! It has more caffeine than coffee, but doesn’t give you drawbacks like sleepiness some time after.

Studies have determined that both coffee and tea have health benefits. Providing you don’t load your coffee – or tea – with sugar and cream, either can be a good source of certain nutrients and antioxidants linked to disease prevention. Let’s start with tea. Fresh tea leaves are an incredibly rich source of phytochemicals called catechins, which have potent antioxidant properties. In fact, tea is one of the highest sources of antioxidants in the North American diet. When it comes to health, most of the research has focused on green tea suggesting the beverage may help lower the risk of certain cancers (breast, ovarian) and heart disease. Regular black tea drinkers have also been found to have a lower risk of developing heart disease.

Tea is recommended more often my than coffee because it is better for you overall. It is more “natural” and works better with your body. The caffeine in coffee stimulates your body, causing it to not function as well or properly, even though you are getting an energy boost. Caffeine can also become addictive overtime, activating some of the same pleasure areas in the brain as drugs, nicotine, and alcohol substances. Tea can come caffeinated as well, but there are a lot of better options in the decaf section. Since decaf tea has no caffeine in it, it is “cleaner” for your body. Tea is essentially hot water with herbs in it. Tea is more recommended than coffee because it has the ability to mix well with herbal remedies that can be easily absorbed into the body, a much more healthy, natural, and low-risk alternative to most pills and medication. Tea is also better than coffee when you are sick. You can put anti-bacterial herbal remedies in your tea, along with honey to soothe a possibly sore throat. In theory, tea will help you heal quicker from sicknesses, and is overall better and more beneficial to your health than coffee. Consider transitioning over to tea, and hopefully consider transitioning over to a healthier lifestyle with it!
