Tea is a lot healthier compared to coffee and other beverages like alcohol and it is consider healthy beverage in many parts of the world. Tea is the best friend for people who want to release fatigue faster and supplies an extra boost and adrenaline surge without the harmful effect of steroids.
Is Tea Healthy for You?
I am like many others, pretty conscious about the health and the ingredients of tea and coffee. When it comes to the amount of caffeine present in the seemingly harmless beverages namely tea and coffee, I want to be sure. In comparison to alcohol; tea and coffee are safe, however; one must be wary about the amount of caffeine in them too.
Tea is known from ancient days, mankind knew how to prepare tea from the tea leaves that grew in mountains and hilly regions where land was fertile. It is thought to be first used by Chinese and brought to the people of Japan and India. Europe got its first taste when the delicious tea landed in the earliest seventeenth century BC thought to be brought by Dutch.

Do you like tea?
WriterArtist, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
In particular, I appreciate the glass teapot with infuser and lid and the tea sample gift set. My sister Stessily appreciates tea more than coffee. So these are particularly appropriate, lovely gift ideas.
Do you all have the Starbucks drink that is immensely popular over here? It's chai latte, cold or steaming black tea with spices such as cinnamon and shot with espresso coffee.
Wow
There is a Russian Way too !!
I love my cup of tea too - but the Russian way. My husband and kids prefer it the British way.
The British have drunk more coffee in recent years, but we are still great tea drinkers.
@Mira - It's interesting to read Frank's comment, I have heard people really benefit from various herbal tea.
@Mira - I guess we need not panic from the amount of caffeine in tea or coffee, as long as we stick to one or two cups of tea and coffee in a day.
@EmmaSRose - I got introduced to coffee after my marriage and since then I have loved the flavour of coffee. I did get a chance to taste some of exotic and local flavours of coffee, and I loved them too.
The hibiscus flavored tea that you have mentioned could be very tempting. I am waiting to try the hibiscus blooms fresh from my small home garden for my herbal decoctions.
@VioletteRose - I am fond of taking my tea the Indian way with lots of milk and sugar. Recently I have cut down sugar after I was diagnosed with elevated sugar levels. I have started taking tea without milk and sugar, surprisingly it tastes good too.
Dear frankbeswick - I thought that British love coffee more than tea. Here in India, the North Indians love tea but South Indians love their cup of coffee more than anything else. I did get to taste many flavours of tea and I found so many of them (difficult to try in this life time) - at one point I wanted to try all of them. Not to mention the varieties of coffee available from Starbucks too.
Nowadays, I am careful because of my health issues and do check the ingredients prior to purchasing. I have however found that tea is quite safe especially the green tea.
Good to see Frank's comment, too. How interesting that his blood pressure went up after giving up tea. Good to know :)
