A warm cup of tea can repair all that needs it.
In the words of Thich Nhat Hanh
You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. Only in the awareness of the present can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup. Only the present can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy. If you are ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea.
You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone.

This is great: 1. it's a fine illustration and 2. just today there is an article in our paper (Guradian) that says the scientists have found exactly what you say here: a warm drink really can repair!
This is the most beautiful image i have seen today. And you really prtray a wonderful mood for all of us tea drinkers. Very beautiful! I could look at it all day.

Isn't it amazing how small cup of tea can lift you and make you feel so much better. It's my drink of choice.
