Coffee naturally contains caffeine -- about 100 mg in a single cup. Espresso also contains 100 mg, and a grande latte or cappuccino 150 mg. A can of cola or diet cola contains 45.6 mg, and a single fizzy energy drink has 80 mg. Tea can have caffeine as well, about 50 mg in black tea and 15 mg in green. Even decaf coffee still has five milligrams of caffeine per 8 oz cup. caffeine improves alertness and reflexes. But at higher consumption levels the caffeine in coffee and tea may wreck sleep as it is easily absorbed into our systems and the body takes almost six to eight hours to get rid of it totally. For those who work out and are active, caffeine increases not only their ability to work out for longer periods of times, but also helps them perform better. Caffeine from either source, ie tea or coffee, suppresses the appetite and may boost short-term metabolic activity to burn an additional 100 calories a day. Some research has shown that tea may help keep bones strong. Other research also shows that caffeine at high levels (744 mg and above) can potentially cause calcium and magnesium loss through urine and thereby lead to a higher risk of hip fractures. Tea and coffee may help in the prevention of developing kidney stones, gout and gallstones. For pregnant women, Drinking more than two cups of coffee or three to four cups of tea could prove to be harmful, as it increases the risk of miscarriage by 25 percent. Having a couple of cups of coffee can be counted towards one's daily fluid intake of 64 fl oz ( 2 litres). However, drinking in excess of four cups of strong coffee can lead to dehydration, as caffeine is a diuretic and induces frequent visits to the rest room (caffeine levels above 575 mg a day from any source -- colas, tea and coffee). The bottom line is that drinking two cups of coffee, or three to four cups of tea a day can be safely recommended. Remember, moderation in any form of consumption is the key to good health. source:http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2009/jan/27are-tea-and-coffee-good-or-bad-for-you.htm

Tea is better any day. Especially green tea.

tea supposedly has a lot of antioxidants , which are good for health .. I also find tea refreshing after a nap , as it helps me wake up and pay attention however , if I am out with friends to hangout or meet people , i prefer coffee .. it seems to be more sophisticated :)
