Well, in Japan the caffeine is more likely to come from tea. “Tea is good for you” is sorta the Japanese equivalent to “red wine is good for you” (if anything, there’s probably more scientific data proving tea is healthy, compared to a glass of red wine).
Old people are encouraged to drink tea to prevent Parkinson’s/Arthritis/reduce heart disease risk/etc. Although sometimes I think the “healthy” hype is just put on the box for promotional purposes. I think most people just drink it ’cause it tastes yummy 
You are a coffee connoisseur, I see. ]]>
I was teaching the 18 year old how to hand make coffee…
1. Put kettle on to hit 90 celsius.
2. Find the beans — which is obvious,m and grind — I use a burr grinder set to semi coarse..
3. Put grinds in a filter cone (with filter in( over a mug. Should be half to three quarters full.
4. Gently pour not quite boiling water on beans, slowly…. the filter should fill completely. Then wait. The coffee will drip and onot over brew.
I used a French Press this morning because the boy had only three hours sleep and I am not that cruel to make coffee only for me.
