“There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.” -Lin Yutang
“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things…or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment.” -Muriel Barbery
“Tea purifies spirit, removes anxiety and nervousness, brings ease and comfort, and is conducive to meditation.” ~Author Unknown

“Pour a rainbow from a teapot—
drink of happiness and love
warmth, calmness, and peace
breathe in the curling steam of dreams.”
