Tea - the cups that cheer but not inebriate.

Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.

Tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country.

I can drink tea until the cows come home and I love the atmosphere in tea-shops.

Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly. That is all you need to know.

Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.

Tea's proper use is to amuse the idle, and relax the studious, and dilute the full meals of those who cannot use exercise, and will not use abstinence.

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 excited, it will calm you.

I am a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who has, for twenty years, diluted his meals with only the infusion of this fascinating plant; whose kettle has scarcely time to cool; who with tea amuses the evening, with tea solaces the midnight, and, with tea, welcomes the morning.
