● Popularity
Tea and coffee are very popular beverages around the world.
● Health benefits
Both contain caffeine and provide a great energy boost. Both are also beneficial to drinkers’ health when consumed moderately. But they provide different health benefits. Different types of tea offer different health benefits that range from boosting our immune system to protecting us from some cancers and heart disease. Coffee’s health benefits include preventing certain mental diseases that cause cognitive decline.
● History and culture
The origins of tea and coffee are not fully known and there are legends about how they were discovered by accident. The history of tea is much longer than that of coffee: it is commonly believed that tea was discovered about 5,000 years ago and coffee in the 9th century. Preparing and presenting tea could involve more complex procedures than making and drinking coffee, and sometimes a “tea ceremony” is held.
