Thanksgiving - have a cup of tea!

 "We are guessing you just might overeat in the coming week (not sure, but...just in case), remember that Green Tea helps your liver process fat and speeds your metabolism.


So, after your delicious holiday meal, have a cup or two of our Egyptian Mint, Dragonwell, Tropical Green or any other and enjoy less impact for ...your indulgences!"

The Kinks - Have a Cuppa Tea, 1972

Have a Cuppa Tea - The Kinks Lyrics:

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
And she's always screaming and shouting,
And she's always brewing up tea.

A Cup Of Tea For Mom's Today

Wishing all the mothers Happy Mother's Day!

A cup of tea to say thank you
For all the things you've done,
And wishes that the day will bring
You happiness and fun.

Happy Mother's Day

Portrait of a Lady

Now that lilacs are in bloom
She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
And twists one in her fingers while she talks.
“Ah my friend, you do not know, you do not know
What life is, you who hold it in your hands—”
(Slowly twisting the lilac stalks);
“You let it flow from you, you let it flow,
And youth is cruel, and has no remorse,
And smiles at situations which it cannot see.”
I smile, of course,
And go on drinking tea.
“Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all.”

~T. S. Eliot: The Poems (British and Irish Authors)
