The same catechins found in tea are also found in coffee. Research also suggests that coffee lowers the risk of acquiring dementia related diseases (alzheimers, parkinsons). It also lowers the risk of diabetes type 2 by 60%. It improves liver function and prevents cirrhosis. Coffee has also been linked to lower the risk of certain cancers (especially colon cancer). Coffee also helps prevent tooth decay. also, that temporary in blood pressure negatively associated with coffee in this article, can also occur with tea- it is from the caffeine (especially with black tea); it's called an acute pressor response. I drink both tea and coffee, but find that coffee helps me bring the ruckus. as far as this article goes...man way to ignore all the coffee research :p. here is one of my soures: http://www.coffeeandhealth.org/  and also here where the sources are cited at the bottom:http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongnutrition/a/coffee_health.htm bah! the tea bias!!! actually coffee has several benefits than just the caffeine boost. coffee is also loaded with antioxidants (the same kind found in tea)- the quantity of which depends on the strength of the brew.

It's amazing how some addictions are "tolerated" whereas others like cannabis are frowned upon by naive peeps.

Of course, since I learned how to make green tea and manners of drinking teas, I have known the various benefits of tea over coffee. However, as for the effects of stimulant between asleep and awake, I think coffee is more effective than tea. from now on, I try to drink tea for my good health and relaxation decreasing the amount of coffee intake.

Isn't it just green and black teas, though, that have antioxidant effects? If all teas have them, great. I'll branch out.
