(Most of the tea consumed in the Netherlands is black tea, according to the authors.) Compared to people who drank less than 2 cups or more than 4 cups of coffee, people who drank 2-4 cups of coffee per day had a 20% reduction in the risk of CHD. The incidence of stroke did not appear to be affected by coffee or tea consumption.
