„Now no-one appears to have time for this. The Museum is a place where people can come and learn about the history of tea and coffee and have a cup of tea (leaf) or coffee (ground). It's to remind people what we had," he says.“

BBC NEWS | Business | Bitter harvest for Vietnam coffee farmers
„London coffee futures jumped by 5%, hitting a two-year high of $743 a tonne. But it will take a more sustained rally to bail out Vietnam's economy, which has suffered from its growing reliance on the crop. The country earned some $260m from coffee in 2001-02, just over one-third as much as it brought in four years earlier.“

BBC - h2g2 - Lloyd's of London
„The most popular venues for trade were the numerous coffee houses in the city. Here the merchants would sell their wholesale goods to shopkeepers.It was also in these coffee houses that merchants would complain bitterly about the number of losses they were sustaining as a result of cargoes being lost at sea.Some businessmen, sensing an opportunity, began to make deals whereby they promised to reimburse to the merchants the value of the cargo if it did not arrive at port in a fit state for sale. In return for this insurance they demanded a premium. The value of the premium varied with the value of the cargo and, more importantly, with the risk being undertaken.“

„Now add tea. You can use teabags, but the traditional way is to use leaf tea, which is loose. There a lots of different teas - English Breakfast (quite strong to start the day), Darjeeling, Earl Grey (flavoured with oil of bergamot), Assam, Lapsang Souchong (smoky) - are among the many varieties available. The amount varies on how strong you like your tea to taste, but traditionally you would use one teaspoon for each person and one for the pot.“

„I ask for good reason. I'm sitting writing this column on my new, highly accessible, pocket PC, in a coffee bar on the ground floor of a well-known hospital in London. I'm here for a regular blood test. Annoyingly it has gone rather badly and they've had to give me a different kind of test, the results of which are not due for a couple of hours.“
