When friends visit, the question “Coffee or tea?” often arises. Though the decision can be subjective, both beverages have unique benefits to offer; for example, regular tea drinkers tend to experience calmer physiological responses to stressful situations due to L-Theanine which reduces stress while simultaneously increasing concentration and focus. Furthermore, tea contains higher caffeine than coffee yet fewer calories overall.

English teas can also provide a healthier option, since most are made from black loose leaf tea instead of herbal infusions that may include dried herbs as ingredients. This makes them ideal for people seeking to avoid chemicals or artificial ingredients in their beverages.

An English breakfast tea’s exact type and caffeine levels may differ due to being made up of various black tea varieties blended together – typically Assam (from India), Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Kenyan black tea varieties for maximum flavour – with Keemun Chinese black tea occasionally added for its lighter notes or fruity aromas.

A cup of English breakfast tea’s caffeine content varies depending on how long the leaves have been steeped for. One minute yields light tea with approximately 14mg of caffeine; three and five minute steeping sessions produce stronger, caffeinated cups respectively; while five minute infusion produces full brew containing 42mg.

Concerned about how much caffeine their tea contains? Don’t fret: controlling caffeine intake is simple! By selecting a shorter steep time, you can significantly decrease the caffeine levels in your drink. For added peace of mind, adding lemon or honey might help mask its taste and reduce anxiety levels.

Black tea usually provides more antioxidants than coffee does, known as flavonoids, which help promote cardiovascular and brain health. Furthermore, it contains theanine which improves mood and acts as a natural stress reliever – all benefits which make black tea ideal for weight management efforts. Furthermore, its zero calorie count provides another perk.
