A Cup of Tea or Coffee: Refreshing in the Morning, Revitalizing at the Day’s End!

Start the day with a cup of tea or coffee of the flavour of your liking. Assam, Darjeeling, Sri Lankan or of the mixed type; cappuccino, mocha, or pure black – whatever may be the type you prefer - both tea and coffee help in relaxing and rejuvenating our body. Both are good stress busters and effective stimulants. 

While there are various types of tea flavours you can find with your local vendor - and coffee flavours of different kind with the local coffee shop - you can shop for them online too, without needing to step outside! You have websites like Quick2Kart.com that features a wide range of tea and coffee brands alongside a host of other grocery items – majority of which are available with exciting discount offers.

And yes, on a site like Quick2Kart, you can do online grocery shopping via your mobile too.

Whatever be the means of shopping, there are a lotof the benefits of drinking tea and coffee 

Tea has been generally found to be helpful in:
  • Fighting against cancer and keeps liver and cholesterol in condition 
  • Improving digestion
  • Repairing oesophageal injuries and 
  • Controlling allergies.
In addition to the above few important roles, green tea has been found to be efficient in controlling obesity to a large extent.

Coffee, taken in right amount helps in:
  • Controlling Type 2 diabetes (and even some varieties of cancer) to an extent
  • Reducing possibilities of heart diseases
  • Increasing body metabolism
  • Improving concentration of mind and increases physical activity and
  • Improving muscular activity. 
Types of tea and coffee and their uses:
Black tea and green tea are rich in anti-inflammatory antioxidants. They help in managing arthritis, improving memory and keeping skin healthy and hydrated. 

Green tea tastes bitter in hot water. It is preferable to mix it with honey rather than sugar for a bit of sweetness before consuming. One can try Patanjali Pure Honey (also available with Quick2Kart) to go with a cup with a green tea.

Oolong tea, like the popular variety of black/purple tea, tea requires hot boiling water. It tastes better with reuse. Herbal tea helps block dehydration, relieves an upset stomach, constipation and other IBS symptoms. 

People have mixed opinions about coffee. Caffeine in coffee helps in preventing memory loss and decreases certain types of cancer. But in some cases, it can aggravate IBS and hinder with sleep and cause migraine headaches.

Tea may have a slight advantage over coffee with respect to the visible benefits that it carries - but both are better for consumption when compared to aerated soft drinks.
