While there's tea, there's hope.
~Sir Arthur Pinero "If you are cold, tea will warm you; If you are too heated, it will cool you; If you are depressed, it will cheer you; If you are exhausted, it will calm you
~William Gladstone Tea, heav'ns delight, and natures truest wealth, that pleasing physic, and pledge of health, the statesman's counselor, the virgin's love, the muse's nectar, the drink of love.
~Peter Antoine Motteux, A Poem Upon Tea, 1712 Tea is wealth itself,
Because there is nothing that cannot be lost, No problem that will not disappear, No burden that will not float away, Between the first sip and the last. ~The Minister of Leaves Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage.
