Even if there is no choice other than talking to the walls, we willingly do so provided there is a cup of tea ; its smoke spreading akimbo in a gesture of comradeship. You must have felt that “teaish” warmth in wintertime when our palms embrace a barrel-shaped cup, with fingers interlocked and of course with a few dog biscuits to compliment it.
Biscuits wouldn’t enjoy the status as it does today if there were no tea. This happens to remind me of a tea-biscuit preparation by a five year old, every morning, with her rationed cup of tea;
She used to plonk biscuits one by one into her cup of tea till they settled in tiers up to” tea level.” Then with a spoon she made a prestigious cut and—mmmmm, it was good eating tea as well as drinking it! Looking at her this morning, my cup of tea spilt over and went down in a stream with those pebbles of thought prattling all along. By the way, the tea that I’m talking about, is the traditional one that has been sipped by generations. I mean that brownish black liquor, the colour of some precious stone dissolved; and the milk poured, enchantingly disappears in a cloud.
Geographically speaking, water bodies are a link between land masses.
Factually speaking, tea is a link between continents.
Both, the sea and tea have their respective beds;the sea bed is lined with sand and the tea bed with sugar.Yes, the sea and tea have a lot of similarity. The only thing they differ in is in their consonants.
Tea is a universal drink for all-the rich and the poor.
The poor drown their poverty, the rich their earthly wealth
They stop together at a highroad shack, in a pool of tea they melt.
Tea has enriched the English language with metaphors and idioms associated with it.
Tea for the sake of relaxation is fine, but relaxation for the sake of tea is not the way to go.
Carry on sipping.
