If
you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool
you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it
will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865
All
true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little
stronger with each year that passes. ~George Orwell, "A Nice Cup of
Tea"
The
first cup moistens my lips and throat. The second cup breaks my
loneliness. The third cup searches my barren entrail but to find
therein some thousand volumes of odd ideographs. The fourth cup raises a
slight perspiration - all the wrongs of life pass out through my
pores. At the fifth cup I am purified. The sixth cup calls me to the
realms of the immortals. The seventh cup - ah, but I could take no
more! I only feel the breath of the cool wind that raises in my
sleeves. Where is Elysium? Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft
away thither. ~Lu Tung, "Tea-Drinking"

never.
