Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. – Thich Nat Hahn

The sounds of the tea being made invite the peach blossoms to peep in through the window. – Uson, quoted in Sasaki Sanmi, Sadô Saijiki

“Would you like an adventure now…. or would you like to have your tea first?” Wendy said “tea first” quickly, and Michael pressed her hand in gratitude…. – J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
