WHAT IS COFFEE? According to Merriam Webster, Coffee is a

dark brown drink made from ground coffee beans and boiled water. It is a beverage made by percolation, infusion, or decoction from the roasted and ground seeds of a coffee plant.

According to Wikipedia, Coffee is slightly acidic and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world.

TYPES OF COFFEE ESPRESSO

The espresso (aka “short black”) is the foundation and the most important part to every espresso based drink. DOUBLE ESPRESSO

A double espresso (aka “Doppio”) is just that, two espresso shots in one cup.

SHORT MACCHIATOA short macchiato is similar to an espresso but

with a dollop of steamed milk and foam to mellow the harsh taste of an espresso.

LONG MACCHIATOA long macchiato is the same as a short

macchiato but with a double shot of espresso. RISTRETTO

A ristretto is an espresso shot that is extracted with the same amount of coffee but half the amount of water. The end result is a more concentrated and darker espresso extraction.LONG BLACK (AMERICANO)

A long black (aka “Americano”) is hot water with an espresso shot extracted on top of the hot water. 

CAFÉ LATTEA café latte, or “latte” for short, is an espresso based

drink with steamed milk and micro-foam added to the coffee. This coffee is much sweeter compared to an espresso due to the steamed milk. CAPPUCCINO

A cappuccino is similar to a latte. However the key difference between a latte and cappuccino is that a cappuccino has more foam and chocolate placed on top of the drink. Further a cappuccino is made in a cup rather than a tumbler glass. FLAT WHITE

A flat white is a coffee beverage prepared by pouring microfoam (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single or double shot of espresso.

PICCOLO LATTEA piccolo latte is a café latte made in an espresso cup.

This means it has a very strong but mellowed down espresso taste thanks to the steamed milk and micro foam within

it.  MOCHA

A mocha is a mix between a cappuccino and a hot chocolate. It is made by putting mixing chocolate powder with an espresso shot and then adding steamed milk and micro-foam into the beverage. AFFOGATO

An affogato is a simple dessert coffee that is treat during summer and after dinner. It is made by placing one big scoop of vanilla ice cream within a single or double shot of espresso.

TRIVIAS ABOUT COFFEE: There are 18% tannins, poisonous chemicals, in these drinks.

These may increase risk of esophageal cancer. These create a fissure in the stomach and generate gas in it.

There is 3% theanine (a poisonous substance) in these drinks. It causes mental imbalance and also heaviness in the lungs and head.

A poison known as ‘volatile’ is harmful for the intestines. Carbonic acid increases acidity in the body. Pomin weakens the digestive ability. Aeromolic has an ill-effect on the intestines. Cyanogen causes dreadful ailments like insomnia and paralytic

strokes. Oxalic acid is very harmful for the body. Stenoil causes blood diseases and impotency.

TEA

According to Wikipedia, Tea is an aromatic beverage  commonly prepared by pouring hot water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub  native to Asia.

According to Merriam Webster, Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared from tea leaves by infusion with boiling water.

WHAT IS TEA?

TYPES OF TEA Black teas. They usually undergo full oxidation,

and the results are the characteristic dark brown and black leaf, the typically more robust and pronounced flavours of black teas, and when brewed appropriately, a higher caffeine content compared to other teas (50-65% of coffee, depending on the type and brewing technique).

Dark Tea. This is from Hunan and Sichuan provinces of China and is a flavourful aged probiotic tea that steeps up very smooth with a natural slightly sweet note.   

Oolong tea (also known as wulong tea). This tea is allowed to undergo partial oxidation. These teas have a caffeine content between that of green teas and black teas. The flavour of oolong (wulong) teas is typically not as robust as blacks or as subtle as greens, but has its own extremely fragrant and intriguing tones. Oolongs (wulongs) are often compared to the taste and aroma of fresh flowers or fresh fruit.

Green Tea. It is allowed to wither only slightly after being picked. Then the oxidation process is stopped very quickly by firing (rapidly heating) the leaves. Therefore, when brewed at lower temperatures and for less time, green tea tend to have less caffeine (10-30% of coffee). Greens also tend to produce more subtle flavours with many undertones and accents that connoisseurs treasure.

White teas. These are the most delicate of all teas. They are appreciated for their subtlety, complexity, and natural sweetness. They are hand-processed using the youngest shoots of the tea plant, with no oxidation. When brewed correctly, with a very low temperature and a short steeping time, white teas can produce low amounts of caffeine. But by definition, white tea does not have less caffeine than other teas.

Puer. It is an aged black tea from China prized for its medicinal properties and earthy flavor. It is perhaps the most mysterious of all tea. Until 1995 it was illegal to import it into the U.S., and the process of its production is a closely guarded state secret in China. It is very strong with an incredibly deep and rich flavor, and no bitterness, and an element that could best be described as almost peaty in flavor.

TRIVIAS ABOUT TEA: The term herbal tea usually refers to infusions of fruit or herbs made

without the tea plant, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. These are sometimes called tisanes or herbal infusions to prevent confusion with tea made from the tea plant.

The tea industry often confusingly uses the term fruit tea to refer to what are in fact fruit-flavored black teas, not fruit teas.

Tea originated in Southwest China, where it was used as a medicinal drink. It was popularized as a recreational drink during the Chinese Tang dynasty, and tea drinking spread to other East Asian countries. Portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to Europe during the 16th century. During the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among Britons, who started large-scale production and commercialization of the plant in India to bypass the Chinese monopoly.

EFFECTS

OF COFFE

E

1. COFFEE CAN HELP YOU BURN FATSeveral studies show that caffeine can boost the metabolic rate by 3-11%Other studies show that caffeine can specifically increase the burning of fat, by as much as 10% in obese individuals and 29% in lean people.

2. THERE ARE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS IN COFFEE

A single cup of coffee contains:• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2):

11% of the RDA.• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin

B5): 6% of the RDA.• Manganese and Potassium:

3% of the RDA.• Magnesium and Niacin (B3):

2% of the RDA.

3. COFFEE CAN FIGHT DEPRESSIONIn a Harvard study published in 2011, women who drank 4 or more cups per day had a 20% lower risk of becoming depressed .Another study with 208,424 individuals found that those who drank 4 or more cups per day were 53% less likely to commit suicide

4. IT CAN CAUSE A LOT OF THINGSCoffee containing caffeine  can cause insomnia, nervousness and restlessness, stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, increased heart and breathing rate, and other side effects. Consuming large amounts of coffee might also cause headache, anxiety, agitation, ringing in the ears, and irregular heartbeats

EFFE

CT

S OF

TEA

1. Tea can boost exercise endurance. Scientists have found that the catechins (antioxidants) in green tea extract increase the body’s ability to burn fat as fuel, which accounts for improved muscle endurance.

2. Drinking tea could help reduce the risk of heart attack. Tea might also help protect against cardiovascular and degenerative diseases.

3. The antioxidants in tea might help protect against a boatload of cancers, including breast,colon, colorectal, skin, lung, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, ovarian, prostate and oral cancers. But don’t rely solely on tea to keep a healthy body — tea is not a miracle cure, after all. While more studies than not suggest that tea has cancer-fighting benefits, the current research is mixed.

4. Tea helps fight free radicals. Tea is high in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (“ORAC” to its friends), which is a fancy way of saying that it helps destroy free radicals (which can damage DNA) in the body. While our bodies are designed to fight free radicals on their own, they’re not 100 percent effective — and since damage from these radical oxygen ninjas has been linked to cancer, heart disease and neurological degeneration, we’ll take all the help we can get.

5. Tea is hydrating to the body (even despite the caffeine!).

EFFECTS OF

COFFEE &

TEA

CAFFEINE CAN HAVE BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE BODY. FOR

EXAMPLE, TEA AND COFFEE WILL IMPROVE MENTAL ALERTNESS AND MIGHT HELP TO

REDUCE THE RISK OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS, ACCORDING TO

MEDLINE PLUS, THERE’S ALSO A DARK SIDE TO CAFFEINE, THOUGH. NOT EVERYBODY REACTS

THE SAME WAY TO IT AND SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE MORE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS THAN

OTHERS, EVEN IF THEY’RE DRINKING THE SAME AMOUNT OF TEA AND COFFEE.

INCREASED HEART RATEBoth tea and coffee can increase

heart rate and blood pressure. As heart rate increases, the flow of blood to the heart increases and the flow of blood to the brain decreases. This means that you might feel foggy and tired as you come down from a caffeine “high,” which can happen minutes to hours after drinking coffee.

ANXIETYAccording to the Diabetes

Mellitus Information website, caffeine increases the production of adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones. This can result in heightened senses but will also put you on edge, elevate your stress levels and might cause anxiety.

ELEVATED BLOOD SUGARCaffeine can affect blood

glucose, according to MedLine Plus. When you drink caffeine, your blood sugar spikes. As you come down from the “caffeine high,” your blood sugar plummets. These sudden changes in blood sugar can be dangerous for people with diabetes.

INCREASED RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS

According to MedLine Plus, caffeine can increase the loss of calcium. When you consume lots of caffeine, your body has trouble absorbing the calcium you get from your diet. Instead, much of it is immediately lost in the urine. This can lead to weak bones and osteoporosis later on in life.
