Questions and answers
Are there cocktail or beer questions in this beverage trivia?
No. This pack is alcohol-free: coffee, tea, cocoa, milk, juice, water and fizzy drinks only, so it can be read out at a school, a church hall or a family table.
What is the most consumed beverage in the world?
Water. Tea comes second: the UK Tea and Infusions Association calls it the second most consumed drink in the world after water.
Where was coffee first drunk?
The earliest reports are from the Sufis of Yemen in the middle of the 15th century. The story of Kaldi, the herder whose goats found the berries, is a legend, and the pack asks it as one.
