Tea: The World’s Going to Pot
Mental benefits of Tea
- heightened state of alertness
- brainwaves may begin to synchronize based on regular tea consumption
- memory recall enhanced by unknown ingredients of tea leaves
Social benefits of tea
- good excuse to wear tweed and corduroy
- others associate tea with Britain, where many great writers, artists, and statesmen have lived
- it is visually impressive to talk or think with a cup of tea in hand.
Physical benefits of tea
- one’s body need not expend as much energy to awaken in the morning when tea participates in the event
- several cups of tea on a hot day allows one to sweat without the expense of a sauna
- as exercise, tea can make one feel either relaxed or excited
Artistic benefits of tea
- if an artist consumes no solid food with his tea, his shaking hands make paintings appear professionally impressionistic
- since the tea drinker is wearing tweed, he can more fully appreciate England; Milton was from England
- colours and sounds are somewhat altered by the tea experience
Moral benefits of tea
- the caffeine in coffee makes one cross—the caffeine in tea makes one mellow
- one cannot see tea brewing inside a pot, therefore tea encourages faith
- people of the Holy Land, for the most part, drink tea
Hear, hear!
