YOU ARE WHAT YOU DRINK: 101 CreativiTeas for Aspiring Innovators

cup of tea.jpg

Some people say you are what you eat. Others, more cerebrally inclined, say you are what you think. I would like to propose yet another possibility -- you are what you drink.

And so, in this slightly tongue-in-cheek spirit, I offer you a selection of 101 exotic teas from around the world. Each one has been formulated to stimulate the specific, inner quality you need more of in order to be a more effective innovator on-the-job.

Your task? To choose three teas, from the list below, whose qualities you most need to imbibe -- then brainstorm ways in which you can bring more of these qualities into your life.

Drink deep... then think deep.
