Tea Drinking Enhances Life in So Many Ways

Tea drinking is something that beyond the actual consumption, touches all emotions. It is difficult to explain, but I have heard others extol the virtues of tea drinking, as well...

With the comforting feeling of the warm cup or teapot, I begin to soak in the warmth...

The uplifting wonderful aroma, helps to pleasantly set the time and place -- here and now -- apart from the rest of the day.

...and that first sip of freshly-brewed tea, lets me know this is a nurturing moment, just for me.

With that first sip of tea and those afterward, I grow warm inside. Sometimes I am surprised to realize -- must I have been cold inside?

Taking tea is indeed a ritual in this way -- savoring each step of the entire process.

Having said that, "ritual" does not mean to imply one must have a lavish spread of tea time delights to go with the freshly-brewed tea. Sometimes, something simple to go with the selected tea is just the right touch.

Selecting the tea offers variety to suit the tea drinker's mood, desires of the moment, or even the weather. Sometimes choosing a light tea, or not... Perhaps selecting a bracing, reassuring tea is what's needed to help stand the gap.
