...purchase). Taste testers at TIME liked the "popcorn" flavor of Hoji and delicate Pure Green, though the utter lack of sugar startled some palates. Tea is hot these days: sales doubled between 1990 and last year, to $5.3 billion, according to the Tea Council of the U.S.A. But the sharpest increase came from ready-to-drink cold teas, whose sales grew 800% over the same period. If you want a hint of sweet, try Honest Tea's line of lightly sweetened organic teas.

Al Qaeda loves a vacuum - it's no coincidence that the network's headquarters have been in states such as Afghanistan and Sudan, rather than authoritarian autocracies such as Saddam's Iraq. But if the current turmoil in Iraq persists, it would certainly fit the textbook definition of an attractive setting for Bin Laden acolytes seeking new addresses...
