“This is why I like tea. There is no other beverage in the world that can so thoroughly conjure emotion. Today we brewed a pot of nostalgia, but tomorrow perhaps something to energize, to ignite the senses and provide creative inspiration. The day after that, it might be the same brew you were served as a sick child, reminding you of maternal care. Again, you are too hard on yourself. I’ve scarcely known another human with your aptitude and love for learning.”
