The Positive Side of Tea
At Naresh Coffee Shop, we celebrate tea in its many forms, and for good reason. Here’s a look at the positive benefits of drinking tea.
✅ 1. Tea Boosts Mental Alertness
Most teas, especially black and green tea, contain caffeine and L-theanine, a combination that helps improve focus and reduce mental fatigue without the jittery crash often associated with coffee. Starting your day with a cup of tea can help improve your productivity and mental clarity.
✅ 2. Tea is Rich in Antioxidants
Green, white, and oolong teas are packed with antioxidants like catechins and polyphenols which help:
- Protect cells from damage
- Reduce signs of aging
- Prevent chronic diseases like cancer and heart issues
Regular consumption can significantly boost your immune system and improve your overall health.
✅ 3. Helps with Digestion
Teas like ginger tea, peppermint tea, and masala chai contain natural ingredients that aid in digestion. They help reduce bloating, improve gut health, and soothe an upset stomach.
✅ 4. Supports Weight Management
Green tea and oolong tea have been shown to boost metabolism and support fat oxidation. Drinking tea, especially without added sugar or milk, is a low-calorie way to stay hydrated and manage weight.
✅ 5. Good for Heart Health
Numerous studies have linked tea consumption to improved cardiovascular health. Regular intake of black or green tea may reduce:
- Blood pressure
- LDL (bad) cholesterol
- Risk of heart disease
✅ 6. Natural Stress Relief
Herbal teas like chamomile, tulsi, and lavender are known for their calming effects. They help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality—something everyone needs in today’s busy world.
✅ 7. A Cultural and Social Connector
Tea is more than a drink – it’s a reason to pause, connect, and share stories. Whether it’s roadside chai with friends or evening tea with family, it brings people together like few things can.

🌑 The Negative Side of Tea
While tea has a long list of health benefits, excessive or inappropriate consumption can lead to some negative effects. At Naresh Coffee Shop, we believe in balance and awareness, so here’s what to watch out for.
❌ 1. Overconsumption of Caffeine
Some teas, especially black and green tea, contain caffeine. While it boosts energy, too much caffeine can lead to:
- Insomnia
- Nervousness or anxiety
- Increased heart rate
- Irritability
Tip: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, switch to herbal tea or opt for tea with less brewing time.
❌ 2. Can Interfere with Iron Absorption
Tea contains compounds called tannins, which may reduce the body’s ability to absorb iron from food. This is especially concerning for people with:
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Pregnant women
- Children
Tip: Avoid drinking tea during or immediately after meals.
❌ 3. Added Sugar and Calories
Teas like masala chai or iced tea are often loaded with sugar and full-cream milk, which can add unnecessary calories and affect:
- Blood sugar levels
- Weight gain
- Oral health (tooth decay)
Tip: At Naresh Coffee Shop, you can request less sugar or skim milk options.
❌ 4. Acid Reflux and Digestive Discomfort
Some people may find that strong black tea or lemon tea increases acidity in the stomach. This may lead to:
- Heartburn
- Acid reflux
- Stomach irritation
Tip: Choose lighter teas like green tea or herbal tea if you’re prone to acidity.
❌ 5. Staining of Teeth
The tannins in tea can cause yellowing or staining of teeth over time, especially with:
- Black tea
- Masala chai
Tip: Rinse your mouth with water after drinking tea or consider using a straw for iced teas.
