- Which invention has helped you most with your working life?

 I could not live without tea. If I didn’t have my cup of tea in the morning before work my coworkers would find my head slumped on the keyboard snoring. If I had the greatest computer in front of me in my semi sleepy haze I would probably end up making the monitor explode and take have the staff with it. (which might not be a bad thing !)

Its something to look forward to, tea breaks the day up. Tea with biscuits, tea with donuts, tea with scones, tea on its own there are so many options.

No I wouldn’t have coffee. Been there done that. The problem with coffee was I used to overdo it. I would be there sitting at my desk like a beaver on PCP chewing my HB pencil. My mind and my heart would be racing, I felt like this must be how people feel in life and death situations.

Coffee has gotten very tiger cubbish as well. There is an image thing there about sipping an iced decaf triple grande five pump soy no whip Mocha. Huh… tis far from the plain people of ireland who have their dinner in the middle of the day.

Now for the science bit of tea. Tea is made from the tea bush or camellia sinenis and there are four types black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea. The following illustration shows what is done with the leaves from the bush to the final product.

Ok end of blog entry, its time for a cup of tea and a chat.
