Tea or coffee?

Which drink best reflects your lifestyle?

In many homes, the day starts with a familiar ritual: the smell of freshly ground coffee, a quick wake-up call, and then – bang – out into the world. But more and more people are starting to question this fast-paced start and are instead looking for something softer. Something more… balanced. And that’s where many are starting to discover tea.

It's not about replacing coffee. It's about choosing a different pace.

Two drinks – two different philosophies

Coffee is like a kickstart. It's the drink for those who want to get things done right away, now, right away. A cup of coffee is direct, intense and short-lived. You get a quick energy boost – but often also a steep decline when the effect wears off.

Tea, on the other hand? It's like stepping into a conversation rather than a command. Instead of turning on a spotlight in your head, tea casts an even, warm glow. The energy from tea comes stealthily and stays – and perhaps that's why so many find it in times when sustainability is not only about the environment, but also our own energy.

Do you want variety - without compromising?

Introducing tea into your daily routine doesn't have to mean sacrificing flavor, body, or caffeine. Whether you're looking to swap out a cup here and there—or just find an evening or afternoon alternative—there are teas that offer the same pleasure as coffee. And in some cases, something even better:

Korean Pu Erh – Deep, round and earthy
A full-bodied cup without the bitter note that coffee sometimes leaves. Earthy undertones and a smooth, round flavor provide a warming alternative with complexity.

Assam Belseri CTC ECO – The tea that loves milk
Powerful, robust and organic. An obvious choice for those who drink coffee with milk – the taste remains deep and balanced regardless of preparation.

Da Hong Pao Oolong – For lovers of the roasted flavor
A Chinese oolong with subtle notes of roasted nuts and minerality – a sophisticated choice for those who love light roasted coffee.

Match Spring Jade – When the morning calls for a kick
A green, fresh taste and long-lasting energy thanks to high caffeine content and L-theanine. Perfect for those who need focus – without the crash.

Caffeine isn't the whole story

Yes, both tea and coffee contain caffeine – but how it affects the body is markedly different. Where coffee rushes into your system quickly, tea works in conjunction with another component: L-theanine. This amino acid, found almost exclusively in tea, creates a state of focused calm. Instead of shaky productivity, you get to sharpen your focus with a steady hand.

The feeling? A clarity that doesn't make noise.

Health beyond energy levels

Studies show that certain types of tea – especially green tea – are rich in antioxidants that protect the body from stress and inflammation. While coffee also has its health benefits, it is not uncommon for high consumption to affect sleep, digestive health or create a feeling of restlessness.

Tea tends to be kinder. Not only to the body, but also to the moment you drink it. It's about creating small breaks – instead of maximizing every moment.

Tea vs.Coffee – an overview

A drink for the world you want to live in

Both coffee and tea have their place. But your choice of beverage says something about what you need right now. Do you want to drink something that propels you forward at full speed – or something that invites you to land, and still stay focused?

In a constantly spinning world, sometimes the most powerful thing is to just stop. Maybe it starts with a cup of tea.
