Both coffee and tea have the same substance but originate from different plants. Their effects on our body are different due to the rest of the components of each plant.
For example, caffeine, theine and guaranine are the same substance but their effects are very different.
Today, it is said that coffee improves life expectancy, alleviates asthma, prevents Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. And if you drink 2 cups a day, it improves your heart rate.
On the contrary, tea, with its antioxidants, protects the body from free radicals and reduces cholesterol. It also prevents various types of cancer (breast, colon, prostate, etc.)
But you’re in luck, the latest trend is to combine the two throughout the day. By combining them you double their virtues.
In Hong Kong it is already possible, they make “Yuanyang” tea, which consists of mixing three parts coffee and seven parts black tea with milk.
Without a doubt, a good energy boost for those who have a hard time getting going in the morning!
