Coffee Vs Tea Health Benefits.
“If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you.”
Make Tea, Not War.
Assam Black Tea
Assam Estate Black Tea is the most common and popular type of tea in the world. This is the version that is usually sold as breakfast blends and it is also known by generic names like English Breakfast tea, Scottish Breakfast tea and Irish Breakfast tea among others. This tea produces and exports over hundreds of thousands of tons to various regions of the world.

If you were impressed by the fact that a cup of coffee contains around 1,500 chemicals , you will not be surprised to find out that a cup of tea contains almost 2,000 chemical compounds! Many of these chemicals possess antioxidant properties and health benefits, just like in coffee. However, the chemical structure of these antioxidant compounds differ between coffee and tea, just like the chemicals in green and black tea are different, even though they come from the exact same plant.
Chinese Black Tea
Chinese black tea is also known as Red Tea to the Chinese folk. This is because of the reddish black color the tea leaves give off in hot water. It is considered to be high quality tea but it is actually the least popular kind in China. This variation of tea, however, is also grown in countries like Kenya, Sri Lanka and India. This kind of tea is known as a ‘labor of love’ because the tea is picked by hand and processed by hand by turning to introduce air which offers the perfect oxidation for fermentation, thus giving the tea that unique taste and color.
Japanese Green Tea
Japan is a country known for its exquisite culture, cuisine and most of all for its Japanese green tea. Although it originated in China, it was brought over to Japan by a monk known as Myoan Eisai who was the founder of the Rinzai Zen Buddhism School. There are variations of green tea from this region.
I’ve come to the conclusion that in every situation my answer is always.

Darjeeling Black Tea
High in the Himalayan Range, about 7000 feet above sea level, grows a unique type of black tea known as the Darjeeling Estate Tea. It is mostly grown in the Darjeeling area known as Mim found in the Northern region of India. The conditions in which this tea is grown are cool and misty which is different from the usual black teas that grow in places of humidity and heat. There is about 10,000 tons of this tea that are produced annually but it is said that almost four times that amount is sold and this is due to counterfeit or second-rate brands. It is for this reason that legitimate Darjeeling tea comes with a unique certification mark which a true lover of this tea should look for during purchase.
