"If you are cold, tea will warm you;
If you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you."
If you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you."
"Tea, tea, tea." What would I do without tea? No matter where you are, always enjoy a relaxing cup of tea...or two!
"I must drink lots of tea or I cannot work. Tea unleashes the potential which slumbers in the depth of my soul."
