BBC - h2g2 - Chinese tea (#)
„In general, the less roasted and fermented the tea leaves, the coldest they are. Drinking "cold" in the morning can bring unpleasant digestive effects (diarrhea), and make you actually feel cold.It seems also that less roasted/fermented tea releases more stimulating substances (mostly cafeine and vitamin C) : if you drink it too late in the afternoon/evening, you might not fall asleep easily 3 .“

„In Latin America a popular drink is la yerba mate, or el mate, a tea brewed from the dried leaves of a native holly tree. In Argentina los gauchos, the cowboys of the high plains, reputedly drink mate throughout the day to maintain their strength. However you don't have to travel to the Andes to find it - the refreshing drink is available in most cafés and street corner bars.“

„Another good way of using herbs in an infusing sense is with stock syrups and sweet dishes. For instance, in cooking rice pudding, we should all be using bay leaves which gives us that wonderful flavour. Also when using stock syrups, that you are going to pour over sliced mangos or strawberries, you can use lavender.“

„Roy: Not just any old camellia will produce tea leaves, the one that is used by the growers is not one you'd want as an ornamental. The tea plant is Camellia sinensis and has small, almost puny, single white flowers. It's sometimes grown in botanic gardens and arboretums in this country.“

BBC - Radio 1 - Blue Room - Chris Coco's Diary
„We’ve worked together before on tracks like Coco & Stonebridge ‘The Beach’ and our aim was to make a new tune and sort some backing vocals for some of the new mellow tunes I’m working on. It was basically non-stop production for four days but we made it through thanks to his dexterity and skill with Logic Audio and the espresso machine.“
