Tea
Coffee
Coffee is an alkaloid that is formed through the treatment of tea leaves with hot water and carbon dioxide. In most parts of the world, however, coffee beans are roasted into a powder called “moolah” to make coffee. It has been used for thousands of years in South Africa, India, China, Egypt, and West Africa. The use of coffee dates back over 8,000 B.C. and has grown steadily since then in different regions and locales throughout the global continent. In fact, if its popularity in Africa, it’s the fastest growing beverage across the globe. Its popularity can be attributed to two main reasons, which include; its caffeine content and the fact that it tastes like tea. As such, both coffee and tea have spawned many companies as well as various sub-brands and brands all around the world. If one decides to eat one of these beverages, tea and coffee are undoubtedly the 2.0 types to consider when thinking about enjoying them.
Coffee & Coffeelights
The history of COFFEE goes back to approximately 3,600 BC. Initially the plant was located in Central America and later moved on to Mexico, South America, and Central Africa during the Mesoamerican period. During this time, the name COFFEE was given to dried tea leaves from Peru. Since then, coffee has evolved and grown in various places in the US, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and other areas across the globe. Although there is no scientific data about how old is the first evidence that coffee was brewed into a drink, it is believed that coffee was present in ancient Greece (around 800BC), Babylon (around 600BC) and Egyptian (around 3000BC). When considering both tea and coffee, I would say that they both share common ground that is chocolate and cinnamon. With regard to their origin, I find them to be equally fascinating and informative but not as glamorous as coffee. They are incredibly complex due to their origins and diverse ways of consuming them, including; as tea by boiling, drinking a cup of tea or simply steeping. This article will delve into coffee & coffeelights and explore what each of them truly means to consumers.
Brief History of Tea & Coffee
Tea and Coffee were both beverages created thousands of years ago and both are still today being enjoyed. Both are popular because of their taste, caffeine content and their similarity (although, quite literally) in terms of cultivation and consumption methods. The first mention of tea in a very brief form of literature is found from an account written by Aristotle called “The Republic”. He mentions the beverage known as chai as being “a light refreshment, for which milk is recommended. That is one of those beverages for which there are certain medicinal benefits”
The word TEA originated from the Greek words “teá”, which means “to brew” and “eá”, which means “dry leafy substance”. Some studies have suggested that tea is much older than coffee and could possibly exist in prehistoric times on the planet Mars. Others have argued that coffee could have been discovered in ancient Persia (about 5,900bc) along with Indian tea (about 4,800BC) in a valley near modern Iran. What makes both tea and coffee so appealing to me is the natural taste of each of them to the consumer. Like tea, coffee contains antioxidants, flavonoids, flavanols, teratones, catecholamines, esters, quercetin, tannins, aldehyde glycosides, etc. All things considered, both beverages are pretty similar and have a couple key differences worth noting. For example, tea is considered anti-inflammatory and has an effect on relieving stress while coffee is considered a stimulant (and anti-anxiety drug) and has antidepressant effects. Both drinks are also quite tasty, but tea seems more sweet and less bitter than coffee. Also, tea is slightly sweeter than coffee, though it may not be completely cleanly. Both can be consumed with moderation and it is important to note that coffee does not need large amounts of caffeine to enjoy it as long as it is taken daily.
What Are Tea Risks?
Although both beverages are highly addictive and can cause serious health issues, there are plenty of people who enjoy smoking tea and coffee daily. There is absolutely nothing to worry about when taking either or both of these beverages. Teas and coffees are safe to consume daily, as long as you take only between 1–3 cups per day. Even at higher levels, one should still drink at least 2–5 cups per day. Regardless of whether one chooses to smoke a cigarette or drink tea every day, there is nothing wrong with taking either of these beverages everyday. Just stick to a healthy diet and avoid smoking tea and coffee and keep your body healthy!
