#COFEE
For many people, caffeine is the main reason we choose the drink - caffeine that makes you excited in the morning when we still feel sleepy in the morning.
Purely based on composition, coffee wins: a cup of tea has about half a dose (40 milligrams) of stimulant caffeine compared to what you'll find in a standard coffee cup brewed (80-115 milligrams).
But this does not always reflect the energy to wake up.
Giving the subject of either tea or coffee, a small (admittedly small) study found that the two drinks gave the individual the same feeling of alertness in the morning.
Although the study is based on feelings self-reported by the research subject, clear differences fail to appear when tested through an objective power of concentration - such as reaction time.
Indeed, when the dose on your tea is made as strong as coffee, it actually proves to be more effective at sharpening the mind.
The scientists concluded that caffeine doses are not everything: maybe people's expectations also determine how alert we feel, or it could be that it's the whole experience of taste and smell, from the favorite beverage that awakens our senses.
Conclusion: Against logic, tea seems to give you the power to wake up just as well as coffee. This is a draw.
