Do you enjoy a morning cuppa?

A drink of tea is almost a ritual for some people. I like builder's tea but I'm too lazy to make it. Also, I don't see the point in caffeine. Nevertheless, I thought I'd write about tea drinking today.

Tea that we get from tea plants, like those on the right, contains caffeine so, although it has beneficial antioxidants, many people should drink it with caution. Using it as a pick-me-up can lead to the vicious circle of upping and downing.

It's worth investigating the pesticides used in tea plantations too if tea makes you nauseous.

I'd say, best avoid tea altogether if you are pregnant.

So, enough about those negative aspects of tea drinking.
