Coffee, Tea, Herbal Tea, Infusions and Sugar

There are tea people and coffee people. But what does the substantial difference between these two products consist of? Chemically, it's always caffeine, but the origin is different: theine is extracted from the leaves of the tea plant, while the caffeine we generally mean

In addition to this, there is also another important difference: the quantitative level. A cup of tea usually contains about 30-40 mg of caffeine (2-3 minutes of infusion), while a cup of espresso can contain up to about 80 mg of caffeine. This is why, wrongly, theine is thought to be “lighter”

Our coffee: varieties from all over the world

The coffee tree has more than 60 species, but there are 4 the most famous ones from which we drink everyday coffee: these are the Arabica, Robusta, Liberica and Excelsa varieties. When it comes to Arabica coffee, one might mistakenly think that this variety is cultivated only in Arab territories, instead it is cultivated in all tropical areas of the world. This is the most aromatic and least bitter variety of coffee. Robusta, on the other hand, suggests the right reference from its name: in fact, it is a very resistant plant that defends itself well against diseases and parasites and adapts to many climatic conditions. Compared to Arabica, Robusta coffee beans are rounder and richer in caffeine, which makes the coffee more bitter and intense. Liberica comes from Liberia, but it is also widespread in the Ivory Coast. Very resistant plant, with large, fragrant grains that are, however, considered to be of lower quality than the previous varieties. Excelsa is a relatively young variety, discovered in 1904. It is often used as a graft to promote the growth of other more delicate and valuable species
