Consuming one to two cups of tea per day is associated with protective cognitive health benefits similar to coffee. Green tea is particularly high in catechins compared to other teas. Tea drinkers tended to be less sensitive to the bitter taste of caffeine. Tea drinkers tended to be more sensitive to bitterness from chemicals other than caffeine. Drinking tea without lemon results in only about 20% of catechins being absorbed due to digestive losses. Beverage preference may depend on specific receptor-compound interactions rather than simple bitterness avoidance.
