How does sweet tea affect plants?
Sweet tea can potentially affect plants by providing a source of sugar and nutrients. The sugars may promote microbial activity in the soil, enhancing nutrient availability, but excessive sweetness can also lead to issues like attracting pests or fostering mold growth. Additionally, the acidity and tannins in tea could influence soil pH and nutrient uptake. Overall, while sweet tea can have some benefits, it should be used sparingly to avoid negative effects.
Where was iced tea introduced to the American people?
18th Century 1795 - South Carolina is the first place in the United States where tea was grown and is the only state to ever have produced tea commercially. Most historians agree that the first tea plant arrived in this country in the late 1700s when French explorer and botanist, Andre Michaux (1746-1802), imported it as well as other beautiful and showy varieties of camellias, gardenias and azaleas to suit the aesthetic and acquisitive desires of wealthy Charleston planters. He planted tea near Charleston at Middleton Barony, now known as Middleton Place Gardens. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/IcedTeaHistory.htm

Why did parliament decide to keep tax on tea?
The American colonists had objected to the Townshend Act taxes, which resulted in the Boston Massacre. The reason for the colonists' anger was that they felt that under British law, they were supposed to be able to vote in Parliament's elections if they are being taxed. Since they were not allowed to vote, they felt the Townshend taxes were illegal.
After the Massacre, Parliament wanted to repeal all of the Townshend Act taxes. The Prime Minister at the time, Lord North, wanted to keep the tax on tea as proof that Parliament did have the right to raise taxes on the colonists, despite their lack of voting rights.
Remember, British (and American) law is largely based on "precedent"- when laws are reviewed, the courts look at history to see how things were done before, and try to keep the laws the same- "this is how it worked then, so it's how it works now too." By keeping the tea tax on the books, if Parliament passed a colonial tax later and it was reviewed by the courts, the government could point to the tea tax as proof of the precedent.
How much coffee beans does one coffee cup need to be prepared And what is its caffeine content?
This question is inherently too vauge to be answered. Different coffees, different roasts, different preparations are all variables to this question.

What roast are you using? Caffeine content is strongly dependent on roast and bean preparation.
Check out the Coffee Geek website and other coffee related sites for more information. Also try a French Press for a different experience from drip coffee or espresso. Some hot water, coffee and a French Press and wallah, you are stylin like Will Smith in "Hitch".
Use diffusion What happens when you drop a sugar cube into a mug of hot tea?
The sugar molecules of the sugar cube move from their dropage point, which is in a high concentrated area, to the rest of the tea's lower concentrated area in which their are less sugar molecules. This process creates equalibrium's and is called diffusion - the process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an are of lower concentration. (M.D.)
