Coffee versus Tea

Some of you visiting our site feel that coffee drinkers won't be interested in tea, so we want to set the record straight. At Prism Tea and Gifts, we love coffee. In fact, one member of the staff can't start his day without his cup of coffee.

The problem all of us have, even the aforementioned coffee junkie, is that one can only have so much coffee. Coffee enjoyed after 1:00 p.m. just keeps you too wired and awake far into the night. Thus, tea comes to the rescue. With far less caffeine than coffee, a cup of China Yunnan black tea, Indian Chai, or Oolong tea can give you that boost to make it through the last three hours of work, without the coffee aftereffects.

All of us lead stressful lives, and sometimes find that we need something to calm and soothe our addled brains. Coffee can't provide that calm, but a cup of white or green tea can relax any time of the day. If you're looking for a hot, zesty beverage, you can always drink fruit tea without being blasted with caffeine. Finally, before bedtime, a cup of chamomile will provide you with many hours of blissful sleep.

So the question is, do you have any friends or loved ones you'd like to give the gift of relaxation? Do you know coffee drinkers who would enjoy skipping the late evening buzz but would still like to enjoy a robust afternoon pick me up?

We haven't even touched on the health benefits of tea. You get cancer fighting antioxidants and boosts to your immune system with tea. That makes a great gift for your health conscious friends and relatives.

Nevertheless, as we see it, the coffee versus tea debate should never result in an either/or decision. A person can enjoy both. In fact, people should enjoy both. So buy tea and buy coffee. Follow our advice above, and you'll have a well rounded day of drinking your morning coffee, you midday white tea, your afternoon Yunnan, your evening green tea with your sushi, your fruit tea with dessert, and your chamomile tea before bed. That sounds like the perfect day for you and your friends!
