Coffee and Tea

[Guest guest]

Coffee seems to have been introduced by the South American natives.

Tea is known to Chinese and Japanese since 1000s of years.

For India, both are recent introductions. That is why they are

absent in our religion.

 

In fact, Tea has religious significance in Japan and China.

Now there is a recent trend to market Tea (regular Indian and Chinese

tea,

not herbal teas) as health aid. Do not know how far it is true.

 

The main difference is Tea is not addictive. Miss a tea. There are

no withdrawl symptoms. Coffee has strong withdrawl symptoms

like head ache.

 

I personally think, it the not the ingrediants of coffee that is of

concern.

It is the addiction. If you can overcome that, there is nothing wrong

in taking coffee just like Hot chocolate or badam milk.
