The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured coziness. – P.G. Wodehouse
Tea with us became more than an idealization of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life…. Teaism was Taoism in disguise. – Okakura KakuzÅ
