Tea
is the most artistic drink known to mankind.
Yes,
this might be a bit of an objective statement open to a great deal of personal
opinion.
But
think about it.
Tea
is the drink of the thinker. Of the poet. Of the author and the painter.
Thoughts
of tea conjure up ideas of leather-bound books, whispered lines of Tennyson and
Keats, and pens resting against antique inkwells.
Whisps
of steam floating from fresh-poured cups fill winter days with images of fluffy
quilts and classic novels, set to the soundtrack of Ingrid Michaelson and
Joshua Radin.
The
clinking of ice cubes in tall glasses bring to mind idyllic Southern summers,
floppy straw hats and soft cotton sun-dresses, and walking down sidewalks
hand-in-hand with the one you love.
Tea
is the drink of the dreamer. Of the dancer and the wisher. Of the one with her
head in the clouds and her heart tied up in pale pink ribbons.
It's
the drink of the old soul hiding behind young eyes, thinking back on the past
and wishing for change without change.
It's
such a simple drink...just leaves soaked in water.
Why
does it have such a way of unlocking hearts and whispering secrets, of telling
old stories and painting new pictures?
But
I am a dreamer.
And
I am made of dreams and thoughts and whispers.
I
am made of tea.
