Tea Quotes
“Bring me a cup of tea and
the times.” Queen Victoria’s first command upon her Accession to
the throne. “The tea is ready,
Dolores,” Said Ferguson. “See that or Mistress has everything she can
wish.” From the Adventure of the Sussex Vampire, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. “I am in no way interested
in immortality, but only in the taste of tea,” Lu T’Ung “A Man without a Mustache
is like a cup of tea without sugar. Famous English Expression “In the South, you can’t
marry a man until you know how his mama makes sweet tea.” A quote from Sweet
Tea and Jesus Shoes, A collection of Southern short Stories.
“As long as it’s hot and
wet and goes down the right way, that’s all that matters.”
The Dutchess of York “Teaism is a cult founded
on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday
existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity,
the
romanticism of the social order.” Okakura, Book of Tea “There are few hours in
life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as
afternoon tea,” Henry James (1843-1916) “My dear, if you could
give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head I should understand your
affairs” Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
