I loved your tea quotes. I am always looking for good ones to write “tea articles” about. Thank you for sharing them. Just wanted to also let you know about a short, inspirational and very uplifting flash movie I made about the joys and connection of “afternoon tea” located at:

Those are some very nice quotes. I especially liked the Sir Arthur Pinero quote. It’s so true! I often find much relaxation and satisfaction when drinking tea. Gladstone’s quote was quite interesting too. I agree with that as well, and I’m sure most other tea drinkers will say the same.
