...The Art of Drinking Tea By Nin Andrews When I first read this poem, I just thought it was about a lonely man’s desire to sleep with the black-haired woman who is drinking tea. He pictures her undress him and enjoying the one night stand that lasts 49 days and nights. Although the wordings of the poem sounded complicated, I believed that the poem just had a fun and simple read and that was my main reason why I selected this poem. However, when I started to think about why Andrews used drinking tea to describe a man’s sexual desires, the depth of the poem changed entirely. In the middle of the poem, the man tries to follow the instructions on the drinking of tea but fails to because he constantly imagines making love with a woman. This was my favorite part of the poem. Although he says that he failed to follow the instructions, I think he was doing it perfectly. When you take your first sip from the first cup of tea, the liquid moistens your lips and surrounds your mouth with warmth and comfort, just like a kiss that the man was picturing. “She lifts him to her lips like a china cup and sips so slowly.” So he knows what the art of drinking tea is but decides to become to teacup so that the lady can kiss him. Nin Andrews also used tea to show a sense of addiction. In tea, there is a bit of caffeine, which allows the drinkers to crave more of it. In the poem, the man seems to be addicted to his imagination that he barely remembers his own name. Although there weren’t enough...

...Glenn Johnson My current eating habits are pretty simple. I have to always eat breakfast; I either eat a normal bowl size of raisin brain with about a cup of skim milk or stop by Burger King for two breakfast burritos with either tea or coffee. For lunch sometimes I either just snack around the office with popcorn or pretzels or whatever else my craving is for that day. However it’s usually something light, rather having something really heavy. Then for dinner I usually cook every night of the week which consists of one meat, vegetable, and a starch. When fixing my plate I usually get ½ a cup of each individual food. However even though I do place a little more than what I am supposed to eat on my plate, there are a lot of times where I don’t finish eating. I also have found myself not trying to eat any more food after I begin to feel full. When it came to the Super Tracker on what your body needs and then what they show what I had reordered, mine has been under on just about every single food group and nutrients. The refined grains are the only thing that was actually over that I had ate in those three days of my recording. As far as how many servings in each food group I ate in was also under as well. Grains in the three days I intake 6 ½ ounces, vegetables 2 ¼ cups, fruits I intake ½ cups, dairy was 1 ¼ cups, protein foods was 5 ounces, and oils I intake was 2 teaspoons. This assignment has showed me that a lot of my problems with...

...7-Nov-15, Lisa Allen Yorkville University Business Research Report #2 As part of my Business Research Report I have chosen the following companies: The Second Cup Ltd. And DAVIDs Tea Inc. Throughout the course, there has been so much discussion regarding coffee that I thought I would delve into the coffee and tea world a little deeper. Davids Tea first opened in 2008, in Toronto by David Segal and Herschel Segal. David was a tea loving entrepreneur and his cousin Herschel a Canadian Retail Pioneer and founder of Le Chateau. The two are passionate about tea and opened a tea company because they felt that tea brings people together. It is healthy and delicious and is the second most popular drink second only to water. Davids tea carries over 150 types of teas, including exclusive blends, limited edition seasonal collections, and exotic teas from around the globe. David’s teas have unique names such as the sweet blends named Read My Lips or Red Velvet Cake that tastes like red velvet cake. They carry premium green teas such as Sencha Ashikubo or Dragonwell. They also sell tea accessories to assist you in making the best cup of tea possible (The Davids Tea Experience, 2015). The company now has 136 tea shop locations across Canada and 25 in the United States, offering the public 5.1 million shares in June of 2015 for $19 U.S. per share (Davids Tea debuts, 2015). Second Cup started in a shopping mall that sold six blends of specialty coffee beans in 1970. During the...

... Hypothesis – the larger the surface area the faster the rate of reaction Why did you choose your hypothesis? The reason I have chosen my hypothesis is because large surface area of the tea bag will contain more molecules which means the rate of reaction will happen faster. For example the pyramid due to it 3D shape provides more sides for diffusion to take place and more area in the middle for the tea molecules to move around which will make them escape quicker so the reaction will happen faster. 2 web sites I have done my research, a) http://www.mylearning.org/learning/investigate/Tea%20Bag%20Trials.pdf b) http://www.science-sparks.com/2012/01/02/get-the-kids-to-make-your-cuppa-investigating-teabags/ I prefer website science-sparks because I found it easier to follow and also it was more useful was because it’s a scientific website therefore it was more accurate than mylearing. It also appeared to make more sense to me. Therefore website science-sparks was more detailed and had a diagram whereas website mylearning didn’t have one so it was hard to understand how to do the experiment and how to set it all up.

...Start My Own Business What new business would you start and why? What are the steps you would take? What type of accounting system would you use and why is it important? What are the pros and cons of owning your own business? Americans enjoy various entertainment places, such as beer bars, music bars, sports bars, gay bars, lesbian bars, etc. Coming from another country, I had hard time finding a quiet place where I didn’t have to raise my voice to conduct informal communications with my friends or with somebody important while enjoying a cup of fresh green leaf tea. I believe there are tea bars in New York or California where Asian people reside, and I heard that there is one in Miami, but there is nothing in Ft Lauderdale, where I live. Luckily, we have Starbuck Cafe, which is close to the environment I am looking for; however, it is still a fast food industry, where people come to grab a cup of coffee and go. Others, like me, try hard to find a quiet corner in all the noise. I miss the times that I spent with my friends in the tea bars in my country. So, I dream of having a tea bar here, where it provides a peaceful place for people to enjoy a calm chat while having a cup of quality tea, and a little relaxing time for themselves. Americans could realize the potential of slowing down and smelling the roses. The economic slowdown might be that opportunity for people to slow down and enjoy a cup of hot tea that they have to drink carefully and slowly fully appreciate...

...Camomile Tea! Dear fellow classmates and Mrs Montgomery, today I would like to introduce you to Camomile tea. I understand that not very many people like tea or maybe all of you do, I don't know. However one thing I do know is that I am in love with Camomile tea! Now, I had never heard of such creation before and when Mum brought it home I was weary to try it as the only hot drink I liked was hot chocolate! Well, I am now in love with this tea. I would drink it over hot chocolate any day! I am sure many of you think I am crazy for saying this, but you shouldn't pass judgment until you've tried it. Camomile tea is a tea sent from Heaven itself and is an infusion of dried flowers of sweet Camomile with no caffeine or artificial preservatives. Many, if not all, of us having trouble sleeping at night. Am I right or am I right?! Well studies have actually shown that if you make yourself a cup of Camomile tea 30 to 40 minutes before you go to sleep, it will help you dose off! Now for the past week I have been up and down looking after my ill sister and I haven't been able to sleep that much and coincidently I didn't drink my tea, however, last night I drank my tea and oh I slept like a baby all night long! Studies have also shown that Camomile tea can help with insomnia and other sleeping disorders; anxiety and panic attacks; muscle twitches; wounds, burns, and scrapes; skin conditions such as, eczema and chickenpox,; and lastly stomach problems such as menstrual cramps, stomach...

...In 2007, Three Cups of Tea had signaled much confusion. One individual, Greg Mortenson, helped publish Three Cups of Tea and his fabrication could be seen throughout the book. A few individuals had seen the lies and took action. CBS and Jon Krakauer reported about Greg Mortenson’s lies in 60 Minutes. After that, NBC had interviewed Mortenson, confirming that he lied in his book. Greg Mortenson fabricated his story, he also built schools for children in the Middle East. Mortenson should be punished for his lies in Three Cups of Tea. When Three Cups of Tea was published, much controversy, about Greg’s schools, was raised. Mortenson, according to the argument, lied about the number of schools he built. In 2011, Jon Krakauer had written Three Cups of Deceit, claiming that much of Mortenson’s experiences regarding his adventures in making his schools are highly exaggerated. Krakauer uses Mortenson’s acquaintances to support his claims, against Mortenson (Krakauer). CBS, also, launched an investigation on Mortenson. CBS had aired in 60 Minutes that he did lie. In 60 Minutes, Krakauer claimed that Mortenson did create schools, but Three Cups of Tea is over exaggerated....

In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of æstheticism—Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life. The Philosophy of Tea is not mere æstheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe....

...Balti proverb says, "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family,” this helped originate the title for this novel and is a main message that I believe is presented throughout the book by either direct or indirect means. When I first began reading “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, I had my own personal ideas about the people who practiced Islam and lived in areas of the Middle East similar to the Balti. I never believed that any story would change the perceptions that had become engraved in my mind since a young age and influenced by the harsh activities such as the attacks of 9/11. “Three Cups of Tea” is a story based on Mortenson's experiences in the area near K2 and especially the village of Korphe. The story begins with a failed attempt of reaching the summit of the K2 in order to put his sister’s necklace there to honor her death. However,the journey ends up becoming a bigger accomplishment. This story is the telling of one man’s dedication to build schools and help a group of people who struggle with poverty to become better educated, especially girls who are seen to not be allowed to privileges of education. Throughout the novel, there are different times in which the Balti people show fierce yet hospitable actions and within this essay I will fully discuss my reactions to these numerous examples.

...Marketing Plan: A Perfect Cup of Coffee Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show a complete marketing plan developed for A Perfect Cup of Coffee (PCC). The idea for A Perfect Cup of Coffee grew one winter morning in 2011 when my wife and I were discussing our dissatisfaction with the delivery times and prices for our online coffee services for our one cup coffee makers. We enjoyed the taste of the Tassimo coffee pods, but were dissatisfied with the delivery times, customer service and prices. We thought the customer service components of Keurig Company were top notch, but Keurig lacked the quality in their coffee pods as well as efficiency in their coffee systems. As owners of one cup coffee makers for both companies for more than a year, we thought we could create a company that could have tremendous online customer service as well as have the depth and quality of coffee to surpass the industry leaders. 1.0 State your marketing objectives. • Increase brand awareness among our target audience by 30 percent this year through an advertising campaign in magazines and online. • Increase new customers from month to month. • Maintain a high standard of coffee and customer service. • After six months, continue to increase new customers and sales while maintaining or decreasing marketing expenses. • Maintain a positive and steady growth each quarter. • Increase our market share by 10% this year. • Enter into the overseas market, Finland specifically, 12 months...
