Tea or coffee, which is better

Tea or coffee? Today it's hard to imagine working without coffee, which helps us wake up in the morning and keeps us awake during the day. You drink a lot of coffee, don't you? Do you sometimes get a headache after another cup of coffee, or do you feel jittery and exhausted?

How do you feel if you go a whole day without coffee? Many regular coffee drinkers notice a headache or tiredness.

That's because caffeine is mildly habit-forming, and cutting back suddenly can cause short-term withdrawal symptoms such as:

• fatigue;
• drowsiness;
• pain in the temples;
• irritability;
• low mood;
• difficulty concentrating.

Chinese tea also contains caffeine. You may have heard that dried tea leaves contain more caffeine than coffee beans. That's true by weight, but here is what matters in your cup.

Tea or coffee with more caffeine

1. When brewed, a cup of coffee usually contains around two to four times more caffeine than a cup of tea, although it varies a lot by type and brewing.
2. Tea's caffeine is the same molecule as coffee's, but tea also contains L-theanine, an amino acid. Many people find the combination gives a calmer, steadier lift than coffee.

3. Many tea drinkers rinse Chinese tea briefly before the first infusion to wash away tea dust, "revive" the leaf and bring out its aroma. Want to know how to choose a quality Chinese tea?

What Is in a Cup of Chinese Tea

Chinese tea naturally contains amino acids, trace elements and antioxidants. Puerh, for example, contains catechins, phenolic acids, flavonoids and other polyphenols, which researchers continue to study.

Chinese teas such as puerh, oolong and red tea release many aromatic compounds into the cup, which is why their flavors are so rich and complex. That's the wisdom and care of Mother Nature.

Many people find that a cup of good Chinese tea helps them feel alert and focused, without the jittery feeling coffee can bring.

What's better to drink at work, tea or coffee?

Swapping some of your coffee for good Chinese tea during the workday is a lovely change of pace. Chinese tea is a wonderful and tasty addition to the working day, business meetings and brainstorming sessions. Many tea drinkers say it:

• Increases overall productivity;
• Helps you focus your attention on key tasks;
• Helps you achieve a state of "flow" in your work;
• Facilitates negotiations with business partners and clients;
• Streamlines, clarifies thoughts and stimulates creativity;
• Gives you a calm moment in a busy day.

By the way, in the workplace it is not necessary to have a thermos and other accessories in order to just drink tea. It is enough to have handy utensils, such as glass flasks or cups.
