 “Tea induces lightness of spirit, clarity of mind and freedom from all sense of constriction, whether mental of physical; and

it promotes such serenity that mundane cares fall away so that whatever is strident of exacerbating in daily life can be put out of mind for a while.”

- The Emperor Song Hui Zong

"Tea tempers the spirit, harmonizes the mind, dispels lassitude and relieves fatigue, awakens the thought and prevents drowsiness." - Lu Yu, Ch’a Ching, 780
