tea is liquid wisdom.

teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existance. it inculcates purity & harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order.

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

~henry james 'portrait of a lady'

peter was not very well during the evening,

his mother put him to bed,

and made some chamomile tea:

'one table-spoonful to be taken at bed-time'

~beatrix potter

tea with us became more than an idealisation of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life

~okakura kakuzo

"take some more tea" the March Hare said to Alice very earnestly. "I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "So I can't take more"

~Lewis Carroll, 'Alice in Wonderland'

I smile, of course,

And go on drinking tea,

'Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall

My buried life, & Paris in the Spring,

I feel immeasurably at peace, & find the world

To be wonderful & youthful, after all

~TS Eliot

Time for you & time for me,

& time yet for a hundred indecisions,

& for a hundred visions & revisions,

Before the taking of a toast & tea.

~TS Eliot

Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, & linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.

~okakura kakuzo
