Yet somehow this tea just never tastes quite as good as it does on Moroccan soil — until now. Read on to find out how t...

www.leafjoy.com/2011/01/ever-wondered-how-jasmine-pearls-are-made/ Jasmine tea is one of my favorites. The tea is infused with the scent of jasmine flowers. It’s fascinating to understand how this beautiful tea is made. Each pearl is comprised of two delicate leaves and an unopened bud. The tea leaves are harvested in the spring season. The buds are then withered in direct sun or over low heat to make them more supple and easier to roll. The top bud and stem are rolled by hand, by twisting the top bud gently between the index finger and thumb to create the ‘pearl’. One pound of tea consists of 2000 pearls. It takes a worker a full day to roll one pound of dragon pearls. Afterward, the prepared tea is stored until it can be infused with its signature jasmine scent. Night-blooming jasmine flowers are harvested at the peak of the summer season and stored until nightfall when they are cured with the finished teas. As the jasmine flowers dry out, they infuse the t...

 There are many managerial lessons to be learnt from this poem by Robert Frost http://classicalpoets.org/2016/01/07/10-greatest-poems-ever-written/ Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Meaning of the Poem This poem deals with that big noble question of “How to make a di...

W hether you’re coaching a basketball team, managing a start-up or moving up the ranks of a Fortune 500 company, successful habits are the key to great leadership.
