Both coffee and tea are enjoyed for their flavors, natural antioxidants, and mild stimulant effects. And both drinks have a place in your Holiday routine! Each beverage has its own benefits, but at the same time shares some similarities with the other.
For starters, they’re both from plants: Coffee is from the bean of a red fruit called the coffee cherry; tea is an infusion of leaves from a shrub called Camellia sinensis. Both beverages are high in antioxidants, but only if you drink them without additives such as sugar or milk. This season is ideal to start incorporating these drinks into your lifestyle if you haven’t yet.
Coffee Basics
Coffee is a beverage that is prepared by brewing roasted coffee beans that have been processed manually or mechanically by a grinder. The roasted beans are grounded and brewed with hot water to create a beverage that is typically served hot, but can also be served cold.
Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed beverages worldwide, studies have shown that coffee has stimulant properties, giving you more energy and vitality thanks to the caffeine in it, and also aids the cognitive system, allowing you to focus and perform better.
The Health Benefits of Coffee
Part of the magic of coffee comes from caffeine, a mild stimulant that can help improve concentration and alertness. But coffee also contains other amazing components that help your body: Chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that helps lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin resistance; and Flavonoids that help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. Now, if you consume ORGANO coffee, you’re getting more than this!

Tea Basics
Black tea is prepared from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to South Asia. After harvesting, black tea leaves are oxidized by pan-firing (a process that leaves black colouring on the leaves) or by fermentation. The leaves are then dried and fermented again.
Black tea is the most common type of tea in the world, and it is consumed daily by billions of people around the world.
The Health Benefits of Tea
Tea is rich in polyphenols, these compounds provide that relaxing sensation when you drink a cup of freshly brewed tea. It also contains caffeine, though it has less than coffee. Green tea has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol, making it a great beverage to pair with some meals or when you’re going through weight loss processes. ORGANO has two exclusive varieties of tea: Red and Green, and both provide the healthy benefits of this gentle, elegant drink.
Coffee and tea are both healthy choices! So make sure to incorporate them into your routine according to your needs, lifestyle, and goals. This season is a good moment to enjoy them hot, and bring a comforting feeling wherever you are!
