Both Tea and Coffee are healthy drinks and can help reduce risk of heart disease, heart attacks and can help to lower your blood pressure.

Drinking coffee has also been shown in studies to help prevent dementia as well although there's no guarantee that it will.

Although Tea seems to be more healthy than coffee since tea provides more antioxidants than coffee does so Tea would win as being the healthiest drink.

Of course, coffee sometimes sounds more like an addiction than a drink that’s good for you, and this is perhaps why tea gets the good reputation of being healthier. But is tea really that much better for you?

Origins


While tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water (and right before beer), coffee is also hugely popular. And both drinks have been around for a long time, to boot.
According to legend, tea was first discovered by the Emperor of China in 2737 BC while he was boiling water under a tree. When leaves accidentally fell into the boiling water, he tasted it and was surprised by its goodness. Tea then became popular among scholars and priests in China and Japan, who drank tea to stay awake, study, and meditate. This is perhaps why the hot drink has always been associated with mindfulness, calm, spirituality, and solid health.
