Drinking tea continues to reinforce the capability we all have for creating peace and tranquility in the present moment.
Bizarre foods Taiwan (on tea from Ping Lin 坪林)
The first cup moistens my lips & throat; the second cup breaks my loneliness; the third cup searches my innermost being…. The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration - all the wrong of life passes away 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 cool wind that rises in my sleeves.Lo Tung, T’ang dynasty poet
