“Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."
Lewis Caroll, Alice in Wonderland
A quiet cup of tea and time to sit and think for a moment or two.
Of one friend from whom the cup was a gift on my trip to Al Ain, UAE.
Of a winter trip to Paris with another with another friend, where I bought this tea here.
And of a friend who lived around the corner from our house in Windsor, UK who shared many a cup of tea as we talked about the small things of everyday life.
Happy memories, a bit of warmth and an excuse to take a moment out of the busy rush of the day. All this in a simple cup of tea.
