A doctor spoke about a popular drink that can invigorate more effectively than coffee.
Endocrinologist Polina Glazkova dispelled the myth that coffee is a stronger “energizer” than tea.
In a conversation with Vechernyaya Moskva , the doctor said that when prepared in a certain way, tea can invigorate a person better than coffee.
This effect on the body is caused by caffeine. It is present in tea and coffee.
Tea usually contains 2 times less caffeine. For example, a standard serving of Americano coffee contains 120 mg of this substance, while a cup of regular black tea contains 65 mg.
But the situation will change if you take young leaves of black tea, pour boiling water over them and let them brew.
Such a drink will contain more caffeine, the endocrinologist said. The longer the leaves are brewed, the more of this substance in the drink.
