From the Paper:

"To the scientific community, it is the Camellia sinensis (Sivasubramaniam 2004); to school children in the United States, it was one of the causes of the American Revolution and was the focus of a historically significant "party" in Boston to protest British taxation of the colonies (Weinstein 2001); to a legion of faithful in the United Kingdom, though, it is delicious and ubiquitous tea. What is it about this modest beverage that is made by simply steeping leaves in hot water that attracts 90 percent of the world's population (Lane 1993)?"
