There are 96 mg of caffiene in just one 8 oz cup of coffee, whereas the same amount of black tea only contains 47 mg of caffiene and green tea only 28 mg. Tea provides the hydration that water does, along with additional nutrients and minerals, such as Copper, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Catechins, Zinc, Flavonoids, Fluoride, Polyphenols, and Phosforous.

Tea is a wonderful beverage for many reasons, but, alas, everything has a downside to it — even tea. Tea, like coffee, contains caffiene in it.

Last but not least, my opinion between tea and coffee. I, drum roll please...
Prefer tea over coffee. This is mostly because of the taste. Coffee has a bitterness to it and leaves a horrible after-taste in your mouth. You can add as much sugar, creamer, and/or milk, and it'll still be slightly bitter. If one person, just one person, could give me a non-bitter cup of coffee, I might change my mind, but for now, I'll stick with tea. Thank you for reading my presentation! I hope you enjoyed it and learned a lot!
