"Tea tempers the spirit and harmonizes the mind, dispels lassitude and relieves fatigue; awakens thought and prevents drowsiness."  --- Lu Yu, 8th century (Tang Dynesty) Chinese poet and "Tea Tretise" author

 

 

"No pleasure is simpler, no luxury cheaper, no consciousness-altering substance more benign." --- James Norwood Pratt, contemporary author of "New Tea Lover's Treasury"

 

 

"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 up.  If you are excited, it will calm you down."  --- William E Gladstone, 19th century British Statesman
