In the Tea Leaves
by Beth Ann Hilton

"Christopher Robin was home by this time, because it was the afternoon, and he was so glad to see them that they stayed there until very nearly tea-time, and then they had a Very Nearly tea, which is one you forget about afterwards, and hurried on to Pooh Corner, so as to see Eeyore before it was too late to have a Proper Tea with Owl." ~ A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

There are so many lovely things one can say about tea. Though not romantic, I’d venture that one wonderful thing about tea is its versatility. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, and it travels well; it comes in thousands of flavors.; it can be the center of both highly social and extremely personal events.

According to Japanese scholar, Okakura Kakuzo, who wrote The Book of Tea, "The tea ceremony is more than an idealization of the form of drinking—it is a religion of the art of life."

Some say formal tea service is an art, even a religion, while others find informal tea drinking, curled up with a good book or favorite movie, close to therapeutic.
