Gold award: Everything looks brighter after a cup of tea – Fact Or Fiction
In this Crest Award accredited project, students are provided some suggestions for project work based around the health benefits, or otherwise, of drinking tea. Suggested investigations include:
- investigating tannins, caffeine and flavonoids in different teas
- comparing taste of teas
- comparing performance after drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated teas and coffees
- analysing teas and coffees using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (although this may require linking up with a university or other laboratory if the equipment is not locally available).
The projects are expected to take up to 70 hours of student time.
