Green Tea vs. Coffee: Which One Is Better For You? | BOK

330: Coffee or green tea, which one actually deserves a permanent spot in your morning routine? In today’s Bite of Knowledge, I’m breaking down the caffeine debate we all secretly have with ourselves. I get into how coffee and green tea really compare when it comes to energy, focus, anxiety, weight loss, gut health, and long term wellness, plus why the way you prepare them matters just as much as what you drink. We’ll talk antioxidants, L theanine, blood sugar, brown fat, and even why a simple paper filter can make a difference for your cholesterol.
