People look at me like I'm nuts when I say that I absolutely hate coffee. Personally, I think it's bitter, gross, and just unappealing. I had to find some type of way to consume caffeine, so I decided to drink tea. Little did I know that I was opening myself to a world of opportunities. Here are a few reasons why I personally think tea is superior to coffee.
1. There are SO many more flavors!
People think that the only types of teas out there are English breakfast tea and Earl gray, but there's so much more. There's chai tea, mint tea, green tea, chocolate tea, berry tea, and so much more! I have a tea that's actually a seasonal flavor from Teavana and it's called white chocolate peppermint and it's absolutely delicious.
2. It's good for you!
Coffee actually has a few negative side effects, especially when people consume it excessively. However, tea is extremely good for you and has many health benefits.
3. It's delicious!
Tea is delicious. There's not much else to say here.
4. There are a ton of health benefits.
Like I said before, tea runs back to ancient times and they were actually believed to have had many healing properties. Especially with herbal tea, it's very beneficial for your body. There are teas out there that can help you de-stress, lose weight, and give you energy when needed. Teavana actually has a whole line of wellness teas that have different benefits to them.
5. It's classy as f***.
There's nothing more classy than someone drinking a cup of tea. Enough said.
6. You don't need to add anything to it.
With flavored teas, they're already so delicious, you don't really need to add milk or sweetener. If I ever drink black or green tea, I usually just add a little bit of lemon to it and that usually does it. Besides that, I don't find the need to add any sweeteners to my tea because they're already so good to begin with.
7. It's overall just great.
There's nothing much else really to say about tea beside the fact that it's just great. It's delicious, it has many health benefits, you don't need to add anything to it, and it's overall just so much better than plain old coffee. Here's a list of my favorite teas both high-end and low-end. Enjoy!
