The subtle charm of tea

"There is a subtle charm in the taste of tea which makes it irresistible and capable of idealisation. western humourists were not slow to mingle the fragrance of their thought with its aroma. It has not the arrogance of wine, the self-consciousness of coffee, nor the simpering innoncence of cocoa."



From The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Okakura
