Tea and coffee are Britain’s go‑to hot drinks and more of us are choosing decaf. But is it actually better for your heart?

Removing caffeine from our favourite hot drinks does not change the amount of antioxidants that give regular tea and coffee their health benefits.

Research has found that people who drink coffee before midday may have a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases, whether it’s decaf or not.

So decaf tea and coffee can absolutely be part of a healthy diet, as long as you’re not loading them up on the sugar, syrups or cream. If caffeine affects your sleep, makes you feel jittery, or triggers heart palpitations, switching to decaf could help.
