And although there is a debate and a clear division between coffee and tea lovers, the truth is that both beverages are full of mysticism and magical legends.
The tea was born more than 5000 years ago when, according to the legend, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sleeping under a tree when several leaves fell into boiling water.
It could have been the first time that humanity tasted tea. Although there is a theory that says it was a simultaneous discovery between all mother cultures: Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, The Andean civilization, and Toltecayotl.
Then, the tea expanded around the world in particular because of the healing properties of some herbs.
Nowadays, people around the world consume 15'000 cups of tea every second.
The absolute winner is black tea, which results in 75% of the world’s consumption of this beverage because it is full of flavor and with health benefits like helping reduce cholesterol and strengthening the cardiac system.
In the second place, we can find green tea because it is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that improve brain activity.
Meanwhile, the most unique is red tea because it requires a fermentation process that lasts from 2 to 60 years. Therefore in ancient times, tea was savored only by emperors.
Matcha tea is consumed because of the abundant antioxidants, so the recommendation is to consume no more than 2 g of matcha per day.
The last mentioned teas are the world’s most popular teas, but in Mexico we have different choices.
Chamomile tea is the winner in our country because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
The second favorite is lemon tea then peppermint, both used to calm stomach discomforts.
On the other hand, there are many stories about the origin of coffee. One of the most popular mentions the coffe was discovered in the XIII Century by the Oromo civilization of Ethiopia and then in Egypt and Yemen.
In general, the coffee plant blossoms in countries with tropical weather, where the grains can dry and ferment and ever acquire a red color.
It grows from 2 trees: robusta and arabica. The first one is easier to cultivate and more resistant, but has less aroma.
While arabica coffee requires more attention so it can grow, it has more delicate flavors that make it irresistible.
In the XV Century the grains of coffee got roasted and ground in Arabia, similar to how the process is done nowadays.
During the XVI Century, coffee grew all over the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Turkey. And then Italy, Indonesia, Europe, and America followed.
The coffee arrived in Mexico in 1975 in French immigrant ships.
Veracruz, specifically in Cordoba, was the first region where Mexican coffee production started.
Coffee harvest continued growing in national territory to consolidate itself as one of the largest producers worldwide, along with Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Colombia.
In México, the favorite coffee is black coffee and café de la olla, followed by American, cappuccino, and of course, the foamy latte that is served in dinners in Mexico City.
In the rest of the world, the favorite is an expresso.
The second place is American coffee and the third one is cappuccino.

The main ingredient in your cup of coffee or tea is water!

After all, coffee and tea are 98.5–99% water.
Therefore, lousy water quality can transform grains and gourmet ingredients into a simple bah.
How does the water impact the quality of your coffee or tea?
It impacts the range of flavors on your beverages because the water you use to prepare them must be pure but with essential minerals such as sodium, magnesium, and calcium.
It means that the water in its purest state does have a flavor, and it comes from minerals.
Therefore is not a good idea to prepare your beverages with distilled water.
So, What is the key then?
Ideally, the best thing would be having the best of the water (which are the minerals) without chemicals like chlorine, which modifies the flavor of the grains of coffee and the tea leaves.
Besides, some other dissolved solids in water, including lead, mercury, and arsenic, are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and affect the flavor and consistency of the beverages, making them moldy and tasting with a metallic flavor.
The same happens with calcium in the water because it modifies the final flavor of your tea or coffee.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider the quality of the water you use in your beverages.
The formula to having success is simple: the deliciousness of your coffee and tea depends on the water quality.
