1. Energy 能量
Studies show the caffeine in both can improve your attention span, alertness and reaction time.
研究表明，茶和咖啡中所含的咖啡因都能提高你的註意力、清醒度和反應速度。
A standard cup of brewed coffee has around double the amount of caffeine than is in black tea.

Both tea and coffee are rich in substances called polyphenols. They help digestion by boosting the microorganisms in our gut.

Coffee has almost twice as many as green tea, which in turn has more than black tea.
咖啡中的茶多酚含量幾乎是綠茶的兩倍，而綠茶中的茶多酚含量又高於紅茶。
