Cocoa and your brain
Studies have shown that hot chocolate may be good for the brain, especially as we grow older. It can increase the flow of blood to the brain, which provides increased energy, leading to improved cognitive ability. It is important that you select your brand carefully – it is the cocoa that helps, not all the artificial flavours and sugars.

If you are cold, tea will warm you; If you are too heated, it will cool you; If you are depressed, it will cheer you; If you are exhausted, it will calm you.

Cowboy coffee
Ever wonder how cowboys brewed their coffee over the campfire?
It is said that they put the ground coffee into a sock and submerged it into the pot of cold water, then heated the pot on the fire. When it was ready, they would pour it out and drink it. Must have added some interesting flavours…

Tea Break!
Did you know that the tradition of a tea break has been part of British culture for over 200 years. It started when workers began their day at 6am, or even as early as 5am, and employers allowed a mid morning break for a cup of tea and something to eat. This was sometimes repeated in the afternoon.

Tea and your teeth
Tea is a natural source of flouride – which accumulates in the tea plant from the soils in which it grows. Flouride is good for protecting your teeth, so, it turns out, tea is good for your teeth (without the sugar, that is!).
