  	</span>
  	<br/>
  	<span class="quoteText">&quot;The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but <br/>shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.  We spend more, <br/>but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and <br/>smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.  We have more degrees <br/>but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more <br/>problems, more medicine, but less wellness.<br/><br/>We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, <br/>drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too <br/>little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.  We have multiplied our <br/>possessions, but reduced our values.  We talk too much, love too seldom, and <br/>hate too often.<br/><br/>We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to <br/>life not life to years.  We've been all the way to the moon and back, but <br/>have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.  We conquered outer <br/>space but not inner space.  We've done larger things, but not better things.<br/><br/>We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, <br/>but not our prejudice.  We write more, but learn less.  We plan more, but <br/>accomplish less.  We've learned to rush, but not to wait.  We build more <br/>computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we <br/>communicate less and less.<br/><br/>These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small <br/>character, steep profits and shallow relationships.<br/><br/>These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but <br/>broken homes.  These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway <br/>morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything <br/>from cheer, to quiet, to kill.  It is a time when there is much in the <br/>showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.  A time when technology can <br/>bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share <br/>this insight, or to just hit delete...<br/><br/>Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not <br/>going to be around forever.  Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks <br/>up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave <br/>your side.<br/><br/>Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the <br/>only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.<br/><br/>Remember, to say, &quot;I love you&quot; to your partner and your loved ones, but most <br/>of all mean it.  A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from <br/>deep inside of you.<br/><br/>Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might <br/>not be there again.  Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to <br/>share the precious thoughts in your mind.&quot;</span>

    			  Very interesting! Not only is the history of tea very interesting,  but I learned about the many different ways teas are were processed and served around the world and the many rich customs there are that surround this popular beverage.
