The Isle of Iona (from the Gaelic Eoiá Egh-eech-ngaaah, which means Place of the Bottle of the Fast Buck) is the major member of the New Caledonian group located off the east coast of Scotland. A centre of pagan learning in pre-Christian times, an abbey was founded on Iona by Saint [[Columbo]] in 643. The [[Celtic Church]] that grew up around the abbey of Iona was to dominate European learning until the renaissance, when Catholicism reasserted itself.

Tea

GreekLove:

Tea is a beverage made by steeping leaves, usually from the plant ''Camellia sinensis'', in hot water.

Originating in China, Tea is not mentioned in the bible, although it is now grown throughout the world, and rivals the olive as the key cash crop of the Holy Land.

The drinking of tea is common throughout Asia, the British Isles, where it is often drunk with milk, and the former Soviet Union (especially Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria, where it is increasingly replaying melon juice as the national drink). In Tibet, tea is drunk with fermented yak butter, which is fairly gross, whatever the peecee brigade might say about cultural relativism, and all that jazz.

Tea may be black or green or another colour (for instance fruit tea is often red or orange).

Famous varieties of tea include China tea (pok-gai), jasmine tea, sencha (the finest green tea from Japan), darjeeling, Assam, east frisian, English breakfast, lapsang souchong, and Earl Grey.

The Boston Tea Party was a key moment in the American War of Independence.
