| All cracked up: Caffeine isn't just for coffee anymore
Imagine a morning like this: You wake up, have a cup of coffee, one that's been brewed with caffeinated spring water. You eat a caffeinated doughnut, a caffeinated bagel and a large bowl of caffeinated oatmeal. In the shower you lather with caffeinated soap. You dry off, put on a pair of caffeine-infused tights, apply some caffeinated lip balm and pop a few caffeinated mints in your mouth. You're ready to face the day. And run headfirst through a concrete slab. Before you scoff at such foolery, realize that all those caffeinated products are either already available to consumers or in development. (Yes, caffeine tights are out there, promising to increase metabolism.) The days of caffeine being available only in coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks and No-Doz tablets are long gone.
Chinese traders keen on promoting bilateral tea-trade with India
Siliguri, Sep 8 (ANI): Chinese traders have said that they are keen on importing tea from India, and would like to export Chinese green tea to the country. A four-member delegation of the China Tea Marketing Association (CTMA) said that it wished to play a pivotal role in exploring bilateral trade possibilities. "I want to import many kinds of tea. My company is very interested in importing black tea...I love Darjeeling tea," said Vincent Ngai, General Manager, Fujian Yuantai Tea Limited of China. "This is bilateral trade, things are opening up. The Chinese have started liking Indian tea--black tea, masala chai or Darjeeling. They are starting to understand Indian tea, like we are trying to understand the Chinese," said Rajiv Lochan, an Indian tea exporter.
