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.

Live the actual moment.

Only this moment is life.

-Thich Nat Hahn, Buddhist Monk

Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp.

-The Minister of Leaves

The soil.
The elevation.
The climate.
The sunshine.
The rain.
The tea.
 
Body.
Mind.
Equanimity.
Harmony.
Water.
Tea.

-The Minister of Leaves

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.

strong she is until she gets in hot water.

Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage.
