Is tea a healthier choice than coffee?!


Question: I'm not talking about the Lipton Teas. I bought the tea stuff (the stuff inside the tea bag or filter) and it tastes so good. But can I drink this twice a day??

It's from a store called "Teavana" by the way.

do you get me? its like this herbal tea store. and they sell the tea stuff...its not individually packed like Lipton tea bags are. like is the tea herbs without the bag. and what I'm asking is "is it bad to drink this tea twice a day?"

sorry, If i'm being complicated. I'm trying to explain what I'm drinking. I guess basically what I'm asking is if its ok to drink tea twice a day?

So you bought some loose leaf tea, and you're wondering if it's healthier than coffee. Yes, in my opinion it is. Coffee usually requires milk, sugar, etc and so therefore usually contains higher calories than tea. Plus tea contains substances like antioxidants, flavenoids, and EGCG with is known to prevent some diseases. You can drink tea twice a day up to about 5 times a day. But just know that if you add milk and sugar to it, it won't be as healthy.

I've heard of TEavana by the way and it's very popular.

Next, loose leaf tea is different than tea bags in that it's the whole leaves instead of little bits. It has more flavor, and usually tastes better but not always. You can also infuse the tea leaves more than once. Some people can infuse certain teas up to 10 times without losing flavor.

You weren't complicated in the least.

Yes! Fifty million British can't be wrong, whereas 300 million Americans are wrong most of the time.

yes

What kind of tea is it ? I mean, all tea have names, such as Darjeeling tea, Lapsang Sonchong tea etc.
Yes, I think tea is healthier than coffee. Chinese people drink tea in 3 meals everyday for thousands of years. Tea can keep you slim and green tea has the effect of avoiding cancer.

Yes, if it's not caffeinated. Green tea can be very good for you as well as herbal teas.
