Welcome FrankJBN!

Thank you for joining in my tea forum! Mr. John Stuart Blackie has quite a few ideas on drinks in general~ I do like that he pegged tea as a drink for women~ but as a true tea lover I would be whining if I miss my wine too!

Keep those great quotes coming!

I am certain that Mr. Arthur Gray must certainly have been an avid tea drinker for he truly knows the serenity in the cup!

"Where there's tea, there's hope."

-Sir Arthur Pinero

where there is tea there IS hope! Because tea makes us healthy and helps clear our minds in a calm way to inspire, and to give us the hope to do the next thing!

Sir Authur Pinero had something there!

"We can survive functional illiteracy or shattered windows of vulnerability, but not the demise of a decent cup of tea."

Dear Mr. President Thank you for being a tea lover! Great and strong men have loved the art of tea~

Although I have heard that a wee bit of brandy may be a good thing! I'm wondering how Brandy & tea together would be??
