Tea Time //RACHEL CHEON Would you like a cup of tea?
Forty percent of college students say they endure stress often, and 20 percent say that they are constantly stressed out, according to a 2008 survey by the Associated Press and college TV network mtvU.
Some students choose to rely on tea to deal with stress. Going out for tea calms and relaxes them, provides an environment to socialize with friends, and also makes them feel better about their health.
SOCIAL TIME
While going out for a tea can be a great way to spend time alone, it is also a great way to socialize. Joshua Kim, sophomore from Daejeon, South Korea, does not drink alcohol, but he still makes time to hang out with his friends at coffee houses, where they often get tea together. "It's nice to hang out with a group of friends while drinking non-alcoholic stuff," Kim says. It's less expensive than going out to eat. Tea is available at many coffee houses, and many coffee and tea houses are located near restaurants, which enables students to go socialize more after having meals together. Alex Zhao, junior from Shenzhen, China, goes out to eat several times a week, and always stops for tea after having a meal with friends.
"Many American foods are fried, have lots of cheese in them or are greasy. Drinking tea after having them makes my stomach feel better," Zhao said. She especially enjoys going to House of Cha and Starbucks after eating with friends downtown.
Marina Rusuck, a senior from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, says that although she usually drinks tea at night to relax and focus better when writing papers or studying, she also drinks tea to socialize with friends, especially going out to drink bubble tea. “It's usually with friends. It's like a chill thing,” Rusuck says.
RELAXATION
Tea can help with relaxation and reducing stress. According to a study done by University College London in 2006, teas, especially black teas, reduce the hormone called cortisol. Reducing cortisol helps you sleep better, lose weight and reduce stress.
When Joshua Kim gets gloomy, he takes his laptop to coffee shops and orders tea to reduce his stress. "It pulls me together," Kim says. He enjoys the variety of warm teas that are available, especially Solomon's Seal Tea. Alex Klinghoffer, senior from Overland Park, likes to drink sleepytime, peach, and chamomile tea for relaxation as well. "I like drinking tea before bed or when I read because it helps me to relax," Klinghoffer says.
HEALTH
Teas are relatively cheaper than espresso drinks, are widely available and provide multiple benefits that can help students, such as maintaining healthy weight, healthy skin and providing caffeine. Drinking three cups of green tea a day helps burn fat and reduce appetite because the caffeine and metabolite (called flavonoids) in tea speeds up the rate that your body burns calories, according to research reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Emma Leturgez, owner of local teahouse House of Cha, says she sees some students trying to switch from coffee to tea due to health benefits like these. For students who are making the switch from coffee to tea, Leturgez recommends Chai tea. "A good transition would be Chai tea here because Chai and coffee are kind of similar," Leturgez says.

Teas to try at various places in Lawrence:
KANSAS UNION
STARBUCKS (Various locations)
Come to the lobby for teatime hosted by Student Union Activities. There is free tea, fruit punch, and cookies from 3-4p.m. on Thursdays. STARDUCKS
Try a green tea latte. The baristas use green tea powder to create this delicious latte. You can ask for extra powder in the drink if you want a stronger green tea flavor. The green tea latte is not posted on the menu, but Starbucks at 647 Massachusetts St. has it.
JAVA BREAK (17 East Seventh St.)
HOUSE OF CHA (21 West Ninth St.)
Try Java Break's homemade chai. In their menu, it says "we start with our English breakfast tea and slowly simmer it for more than an hour with honey, vanilla, and various spices before adding milk to order." Definitely sounds more luxurious and better than teabag chai tea.
Emma Leturgez, owner, says that bubble teas are the most popular among KU students who come. "Among them, taro flavor is the most popular. People really like that one," Leturgez said. For non-bubble teas, try a pot of dark black pu-erh. "It's also a pretty popular tea because people think it's something that only we have down here, and it also has a nice earthy flavor," she says.
BRITS (929 Massachusetts St.)
At Brits, you can buy imports from Britain, including their famous teas. One of their best-selling products is Ahmed Lemon & Lime Black Tea. This tea can be either enjoyed hot or iced.
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.

"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.

Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you." Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.
