Tea Made From Coffee?





Coffee, tea, or tea made of coffee?



According to News.com.au, researchers have created a tea made from coffee leaves, that’s said to be “healthier than both of the drinks”.



Researchers—from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, South-West London, and Montpellier, France—have described the ‘coffee leaf tea’ as having “an ‘earthy’ taste that is less bitter than tea and not as strong as coffee”.



It’s also said to be beneficial for health—on top of the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, the brew boasts a high level of compounds that lowers the risk of diabetes, cholesterol, cancer and heart disease.



For those that can’t drink coffee or tea because of the high amount of caffeine, this ultimate coffee leaf tea has far less caffeine.



Is this the next tea/coffee?
