Is Tea Better than Coffee?

When most people awaken, the first thing they grab is a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. You will also find a number of ice tea drinkers, as well as those who love ice coffee beverages, which have become quite popular. With both beverages being highly popular, we often hear the question, “Is tea better than coffee”, which is exactly what we wanted to address here in this article.

Okay, so is tea better than coffee and if so, why? The answer is yes, tea is better than coffee and we will explain why. Both beverages contain caffeine, a substance that helps get the day going but for individuals with a caffeine sensitivity problem, both coffee and tea would likely cause a problem. In addition, both coffee and tea are delicious. These drinks can be consumed as is or enhanced with cream, sugar, and honey, and so on. As you can see, tea and coffee have a lot in common but this is where the similarities begin to fade.

Now, for the question of is tea better than coffee, keep in mind that the type of tea makes a huge difference. Interestingly, different teas offer different benefits. For example, ginseng tea has been studies with results showing this type of tea can improve concentration and memory, boost a person?s reaction time, help fight off viral infections, reduce stress, and even improve circulation.

Then, you have black tea, also loaded with health benefits. For instance, black tea can prevent clogged arteries that lead to heart attack and stroke, this tea inhibits cancer growth, helps reduce inflammation, and is proven to neutralize many germs. Of course, green tea is a favorite, which also helps fight cancer, lowers high blood pressure, reduces bad cholesterol, and kills oral bacteria that causes plaque leading to tooth decay.

Although coffee tastes great, you can see the answer to the question, ?Is tea better than coffee? is yes. Keep in mind that because of the caffeine makeup of coffee, most people would agree that coffee is better at providing a quick mental boost than most teas do. However, many teas contain antioxidants that work to protect the cellular structure of the body, leading to a healthier and longer life.

Again, coffee does have some health advantages over tea. In this case, studies show that coffee is a good preventative against liver cancer and that it lowers the chance of gallstones. Although these are certainly great reasons to drink coffee, we still believe that tea outranks coffee. In addition to the abovementioned benefits of tea, others include fighting off osteoporosis, reducing risk of kidney disease, providing relief from menstrual cramping and aching muscles, and calming the nerves.

The next time someone offers you coffee versus tea, we recommend you stop to thing of the age-old question, ?Is tea better than coffee? to help you make the right choice. Of course, you can enjoy a good cup of coffee on occasion but perhaps you might be more apt to reach for tea instead.

How do You Make Chinese Green Tea?

Okay, you want a cup of tea so you boil water, dip the tea bag in a couple of times, and call it done, right? WRONG! Many people are tired of poor tasting tea, which leads them to ask, “How do you make Chinese green tea?” As you will discover in this article, there is actually an art to making exceptional tea. While not rocket science, a few proper steps will make a huge difference in not only the flavor of the tea but also the level of nutrients being retained or destroyed.

Okay, so how do you make Chinese green tea? For starters, good tea is all about the right combination of water’s solvent properties, which is then heated to the right temperature so the chemical compounds from the tealeaves are extracted. Of course, some of the chemicals from the green tea are going to be extracted even in cold water but as you can imagine, many of the vital health benefits are lost.

When we are asked, “How do you make Chinese green tea?”, we always start by recommending you use the right type of teapot and utensils. The best teapot option is one that has a mesh container that sits down inside the actual teapot. With this, as water boils, the tealeaves are only slightly boiled while being more steamed. The result is incredible flavor but also the rich nutrients.

Next when asked, “How do you make Chinese green tea?”, we suggest you use cold, mineral spring water. Although warm tap water would do in a pinch, you would notice a significant difference in taste between the two options. After all, the finished cup of tea is going to be primarily water so the type of water you use will have a direct impact on flavor.

Okay, our information on “How do you make Chinese green tea?” continues with preparation of the tea. We suggest you make only the amount of tea you will drink immediately in that once tea sits it becomes bitter. Of course, the actual seeping time of the tea will vary according to the exact type of green tea. In other words, you would seep tea bags between three and five minutes while loose-leaf green tea may take slightly longer. For water temperature, you want the boiled or steamed water to be anywhere from 165 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally, we want to add one more thing to the question, “How do you make Chinese green tea?” The amount of tea is important. Although tea bags are convenient and somewhat flavorful, you will enjoy the richness of tealeaves more. Again, the best method is by using an infuser (teapot with a mesh container) or a tea ball, both of which can be purchased through a variety of teashops and department stores. You can simply use one teaspoon of the loose-leaf tea for every six to eight ounce cup of water, depending on the level of intensity preferred.
