IS DRINKING CHAI BETTER THAN DRINKING COFFEE?

Is drinking chai better for you than drinking coffee?

Ah, the age-old question: is chai better for you than coffee? As a lover of both, we’ve done some digging to give you the scoop on which one comes out on top.

First things first, let's talk about what makes chai so special. For starters, it's often made with a mix of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom, which not only taste delicious but also have some serious health benefits. These spices have been shown to reduce inflammation, aid digestion, and even boost brain function. Plus, chai typically contains less caffeine than a cup of coffee, which can be a bonus if you're looking to cut back on your caffeine intake. Our Dandi Chai (with healing dandelion root!) is the perfect caffeine-free option and even subtly resembles coffee with its warm and nutty flavour profile.

On the other hand, coffee also has its fair share of health benefits. It's been linked to a lower risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes and Cardiovascular disease, and can even improve exercise performance. Plus, let's be real, sometimes you just need that caffeine jolt to get you through the day.

So, which one is better for you? Well, it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're trying to cut back on caffeine or want to reap the benefits of those delicious chai spices, go for the chai. But if you need that caffeine boost or are a die-hard coffee fan, there's nothing wrong with sticking to your daily cup of joe.
