TEA QUOTES

 

 

 

 

January has been designated as National Hot Tea Month.  There is definitely nothing like a cup of hot tea.  Take a look at what some others have had to say about tea.

 

 

Tea, heav'ns delight, and nature’s 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

 

• the brewing process takes time and provides a break, even if it is only for a few minutes, which can bring your body back to normal and refresh your mind.

 

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time

the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.
author unknown

 

• sipping tea is a great way to relax and reduce stress by just sitting back, unwinding and finding inner rest

 

There is no trouble so great or grave

 that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.
Bernard-Paul Heroux-1900's Basque philosopher

 

• tea has a powerful aromatic effect on the olfactory nerves

 

There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Letters and Social Aims."

 

• holding onto a hot tea cup warms hands on a cold winter morning and ice tea refreshes during the summer heat

 

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.
William Gladstone

 

• coffee is a quick fix, tea is a lingering treat

 

Coffee is strong and direct; tea is refined.
Coffee is potent; tea is romantic.
Coffee is noisy and obstreperous; tea is quiet and subtle.
Coffee is nouveau rich; tea is old money.
Bunny Crumpacker

 

 

Remember the tea kettle . . .
it is always up to its neck in hot water,

yet it still sings!

“Rejoice in the Lord always . . . Rejoice!”

Philippians 4:4
