So everybody likes tea, right?  I read a great quote the other day:

`Tea is really more important than we are or what we
do.  When we`re long gone, it will still be around.`

My favorite teas are Lapsang Souchong (black) or Hojicha (green).  Some "herbal teas" deserve an honorable mention too, even though they are not tea at all: Rooibos, Yerba Mate, Rosehips are all quite tasty.

 

What kind of tea do you like?

I`m sorry, but what the heck does this have to do with entrepreneurship?

Not a damn thing!  That`s why it`s posted in Tea, err, Coffe Talk!

But, see, we don`t have a separate section for tea. We could, but our lead web guy is kind of strict about adding sections to the architecture. Perhaps you could have a spot of tea and some crumpets and have a little talk-around on this.

Besides, tea is for wimps; we are entrepreneurs, and therefore need coffee.
The freakin` internet itself would not exist without the rise of Starbucks. If you`ll notice, Starbucks began expanding at exactly the same time the internet did. Coincidence? I think not, my under-caffeinated friend!

Perhaps a nice tea site would be more to your liking. I`d Google "Earl Grey" and see what you get.

I personally Maufung, and Dragonwell. My connection for the top teas was at my old job. Hward the Chinese connection would get these really fresh teas shipped straight from China. Great stuff!

He who gets greedy like a pig, gets slaughtered like a hog!

Is that all you people @ SuN do, sit around and discuss teas?

Fix the site so we don`t have to scroll down to see stuff. Now that would be impressive.

Cheers!

Jeff, I hate coffee.

I can`t even make it past the smell to taste it. And then when my husband gets one of those whipped things where you can`t smell the coffee ... and I tasted it ... blech.

Personally, I start off every day with some green tea or chai. This month, it has been a cup with 2/3c half and half, 1c water, and 1 Trader Joe`s green tea bag. Nuke for exactly 1:30. Add a few spoonfuls of dark brown sugar, stir, and nuke again for 35 seconds. Stir, squeeze out the tea bag, and enjoy!
And yes, I am this methodical about it. I just ... am.

True entrepreneurship is about embracing whatever inspires you, whether that be a website like StartupNation or a daily beverage routine.

My Scottish roots have taught me to shun the English teas but I can`t deny that a cup of steeped Earl Grey will blow away any cup of coffee.

Speaking of coffee, listen to an inspiring story about a coffee company that is giving back to the community. Check out our recent radio show on The Human Bean.

 

 

yerba mate... bless those uraguayans!

Alison,
Try a good strong cup of Irish tea, much better than any english muck!!
I personally like Lapsang souchong or a nice a cup of chamomile in the
evening, plus since I sell it I better damn well endorse it!!
Cheers
Sarah
