“In this hurried, sometimes indifferent world, moments of sweet fellowship are very precious.  The true experience of “tea” is a joy unsurpassed.  Time seems to stand still as we taste warm, homemade scones with butter and jam…sip delicious sweet tea…and create relationships that are nourishing and supportive.  Tea seems to bind southern women together much like that three-corded braid…not easily broken. “  ~Rita Young Allen

“Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage.”  ~Catherine Douzel

“When I joined you for tea that rainy afternoon, my heart was as dreary as the sky.  But cup by cup, the afternoon passed, while our conversation drove the clouds away from my heart.  What’s more, by the last cup of tea, my thoughts had been rearranged, leaving me space enough to breathe and light enough to see.”  Lucie Christopher

“Why should we live with such hurry and waste of Life?”  ~Henry David Thoreau
