Despite Ross Kerr and the SGF Healthy Living Programme’s best efforts, UTC remains resolutely committed to a high fat, high sugar, high alcohol, high tobacco, high everything diet. He’s lasted the best part of century consuming what he likes and he’s not about to change now. You get the idea.
So he was fair chuffed last month to hear about an unapologetically unfashionable product launch: extra high caffeine tea. Surrounded by colleagues drinking decaffeinated tea and strawberry & elderflower tea and mango & dandelion tea, the auld fella was delighted to see a return to old fashioned values. Tea you can stand your spoon up in.
Apparently a company called Hi Tea enlisted the help of food scientists from Queen Margaret University to basically see how much caffeine they could cram into a cup of tea. Three times the level of a normal cup turned out to be the answer.
Never having bought into the whole trendy coffee thing, UTC has braved the interweb to order a box online and will no doubt be seen swinging from the chandeliers some time soon.
