TeaMind

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown

TeaMind is the mastery of mysteries; no hand can paint it, no voice can describe it. Yet it is easy to grasp; few people know this. Many travel the wrong path, pursuing the false and turning their backs on the true. Yet attaining TeaMind is easy to accomplish. And now that this has been said, you should not cling to the words but just savor the meaning. For it is written:

"The whole problem with Civilization is that we've been trying to squeeze the mind into the brain and it won't fit. The great gift of the leaf is that it relaxes the brain, freeing it to float to its true home in the boundless and the inexhaustible-the sublime state we call TeaMind."

-The Minister of Leaves , The Republic of Teas.

Did you know there was such a thing?

It was China - the year was 2737 B.C.- as legend has it. Emperor Shen Nong discovered something wonderful...tea leaves, infused in hot water and slowly sipped were, well, very very good. Heads cleared. Thoughts focused. TeaMind was discovered. TeaMind is a calm, yet alert mind, full of good questions and smart ideas waiting to be born.

While difficult to describe, TeaMind is a natural state often obtained by sipping the right tea. Tasting tea is an art, not a science. Once you learn to appreciate good leaves, the world becomes new again. Within the stillness, a further pleasure arises when you discover there is a time for every tea and a tea for every time.

It is one plant - many teas, diverse in flavor and effect. We remain humbled by the magnificent greatness of the leaf. To respond to our Citizens passionate interest in the Sip by Sip life, we offer the solitude of this fact finding retreat where you will laugh more. You will look at your watch less. You will have fewer imaginary problems, once you have learned to sip. The Republic of Tea

Im telling you I want this. I am working very hard at it. ;)

Drink your tea people! It does good for you.

If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865
