Both tea and coffee come with their own set of benefits and drawbacks. Generally, consumption of tea and coffee without milk and without sugar is considered healthier.
Some effects of both Tea and Coffee
Sleep quality:
The biggest differences between coffee and tea may emerge once your head hits the pillow. Coffee drinkers tend to find it harder to drop off at night because of the higher caffeine content while tea drinkers in contrast, have longer and more restful slumbers.
