Tea & Coffee 08/04 - The Latest Finds on Tea & Health (#)

  „Tea does contain caffeine, black tea usually more than green, but nowhere near as much as coffee, and anyway, who says caffeine is bad for your health? Certainly not most scientists, who believe a moderate intake of less than 300mg a day has no adverse effects on your health. Although noting that caffeine is “mildly addictive,” they point out that “withdrawal symptoms can be minimized if intake is reduced gradually.” Maybe so, but a low-to-moderate (60-300mg a day) intake of caffeine “has been shown to have beneficial effects on mood and performance.” While most of us know this already, it’s nice to see scientists agreeing with us for a change!“

The only real problem is how to take out the caffeine without ruining the rest of what does influence coffee flavor. But technology has triumphed, more or less. The best decaffeinated coffee, freshly roasted and ground and carefully brewed, can taste so nearly the equal of a similar untreated coffee that only a tasting involving direct comparison reveals the difference.“
