Tea Better than Coffee in the Morning
Coffee may be the classic morning drink in America — in fact, nearly 70% of Americans sip coffee every week. But if you’re looking for steady energy, fewer jitters, and extra wellness benefits, tea might just be the better way to start your day.
Here’s why more and more people are swapping their morning coffee for a cup of tea.
The Benefits of Morning Tea
In short, tea beats any alternative morning drink. Although it may not have the same amounts of caffeine as coffee, nor the same levels of vitamin C as orange juice, tea has a host of other benefits that make the case for tea – hot or cold – being your new choice of drink in the mornings. Like coffee, tea can help clear up morning grogginess, but that’s not all. It’s true that tea contains less caffeine than coffee, but its caffeine contents should be just enough to give you the energy boost you need without overdoing it, and you can always have a second cup if you need it. The caffeine in tea isn’t the only thing that’ll help wake you up and clear your head in the morning: tea contains L-theanine and amino acids which slow how quickly the body absorbs caffeine. This may seem like a negative at first, but once you realize this will not only prevent jitters and crashes but give you consistent energy for a longer period of time, it becomes a huge positive. A few cups of tea in the morning can eliminate the need several cups of coffee throughout the day. You won’t just be feeling better, but you’ll be saving money as well.
Good for the Gut
Your gut health plays a big role in how energized and balanced you feel. Research suggests that both green and black teas may help support a healthy gut microbiome — the community of “good bacteria” that live in your digestive system.
Together, they can help support digestion and overall wellness. Tea also naturally contains tannins, plant compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe the digestive tract.
A Wellness Ritual That Fits Your Lifestyle
Beyond the science, tea is more than just a beverage — it’s a ritual. Brewing a pot or steeping a sachet can create a moment of calm in a busy morning. Whether you enjoy bold black teas, refreshing green teas, or naturally caffeine-free herbal blends, there’s a cup of tea to match your mood and routine.
Plus, with less caffeine per cup, tea is easy to enjoy not just in the morning, but throughout the day.
