In their own words

Coffee and tea are among the world’s most popular beverages, with black tea being the most sought-after variety of the later, accounting for 78% of all tea production and consumption (1Trusted Source). While the two provide similar health benefits, they have some differences. This article compares coffee and black tea to help you decide which one to choose. Caffeine is the most studied and consumed stimulant in the world (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source). Present in many common beverages, including coffee and tea, it’s known for both its beneficial and adverse effects on human health. While the caffeine content can vary depending on brewing time, serving size, or preparation method, coffee can easily pack twice the caffeine as an equal serving of tea. The amount of caffeine considered safe for human consumption is 400 mg per day. One 8-ounce cup (240 ml) of brewed coffee contains an average of 95 mg of caffeine, compared with 47 mg in the same serving of black tea (4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source). Though scientists have primarily focused on coffee when researching the positive effects of caffeine, both drinks — despite containing differing amounts of this substance — can provide its associated health benefits. Caffeine intake may reduce your risk of certain chronic diseases and improve athletic performance, mood, and mental alertness (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source). Caffeine works as a powerful stimulant for your central nervous system, which is why it’s considered a performance-enhancing substance in sports (10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source). One review of 40 studies determined that caffeine intake improved endurance exercise outcomes by 12%, compared with a placebo (13Trusted Source). As for caffeine’s effect on mental alertness, research shows that it improves performance in both simple and complex tasks (14Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source). A study in 48 people who were given a drink containing either 75 or 150 mg of caffeine revealed improvements in reaction times, memory, and information processing, compared with the control group (16Trusted Source). Other studies indicate that caffeine may reduce type 2 diabetes risk by improving insulin sensitivity (17Trusted Source). A review of 9 studies in 193,473 people showed that regularly drinking coffee significantly lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes (18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source). What’s more, moderate caffeine intake has been associated with protective effects against dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source). Antioxidants protect your body against free radical damage, which may help prevent the development of certain chronic diseases (25Trusted Source). Both tea and coffee are loaded with antioxidants, primarily polyphenols, which contribute to their characteristic flavor and health-promoting properties (26Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source, 28Trusted Source, 29Trusted Source). Many groups of polyphenols are present in tea and coffee. Theaflavins, thearubigins, and catechins are the primary ones in black tea, while coffee is rich in flavonoids and chlorogenic acid (CGA) (30, 31Trusted Source). A recent test-tube study discovered that theaflavins and thearubigins inhibited the growth of lung and colon cancer cells and ultimately killed them (32Trusted Source). Studies in leukemia cells revealed similar results, suggesting that black tea may have cancer-protective properties, though more research is needed (33Trusted Source). On the other hand, test-tube studies on coffee’s anticancer properties have found that its CGA content acts as a potent inhibitor of cancer cell growth, protecting against gastrointestinal and liver cancer (34Trusted Source, 35Trusted Source). Long-term studies in humans and further research that has analyzed larger pools of evidence show that coffee and tea may also protect against other kinds of cancers, such as breast, colon, bladder, and rectum cancer (36Trusted Source, 37Trusted Source, 38Trusted Source, 39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source). Aside from their antioxidant activities, polyphenols have been linked to a reduced rate of heart disease (41Trusted Source). They contribute to heart health via various blood-vessel-protective mechanisms, including (42Trusted Source, 43Trusted Source, 44Trusted Source): Vasodilating factor. They promote blood vessel relaxation, which helps in cases of high blood pressure. Anti-angiogenic effect. They block the formation of new blood vessels that may feed cancer cells. Anti-atherogenic effect. They prevent plaque formation in blood vessels, lowering heart attack and stroke risk.
