"Tea! thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid,... thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wind-tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate."

~Colley Cibber, Lady's Last Stake

Tea the venerable liquid~during the times of Shakespear and his lady~domesticated with the kettle~


They acted and laughed but were serious in their tea!


Thou keep thine cup filled with laughter~ says I

Even Cindy Crawford finds time to relax with her cup of tea! (*She may also know that she'll stay a bit more beautiful as a result of drinking her tea too!)

I enjoy quietness & tea as well~ meditate on silence and serenity!
