Ah, tea, my life-long friend– faithful, unassuming, comforting friend. You are happy to join me any time of day – whether sharing the morning’s news, as a mid-day pick-me-up or reflecting on the day’s events and preparing for sleep.
Ah tea, my versatile friend–there are so many ways to enjoy you – white, green, oolong or black, as well as a myriad of herbal options. Served hot or iced, with or without milk, in a beautiful mug or in a tall glass.
Ah, tea, my feisty friend– who knew you were such a fighter? With your little arsenal of antioxidants and polyphenols, helping me fight free radicals and premature aging. Boosting my immune system and my memory, while reducing stress, inflammation and arthritis. On the front line, helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s, and diabetes.
Ah, tea, my popular friend–the second-most consumed beverage in the world. An important part of many cultures, you are the star in ceremonies, social events, relationship-building and welcoming guests to one’s home.
Ah tea, my life-long friend–faithful, unassuming comforting friend. I raise a cup to you!
