When you shovel six inches of snow in the morning, tea will warm you up. When you want afternoon cookies, tea compliments the snack beautifully. When you want to impress guests, serving tea in a ritualistic fashion is irreplaceable.
When Amy Parton, of the punk band KING KONG fame, and I traveled England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Denmark before studying Shakespeare at Cambridge, we stopped to stay with a family-friend of hers in Northern London. Every afternoon, Barbara served us tea. Okay, she served tea during all waking hours of the day, but sitting in her beautiful English garden sipping hot herb was spectacular.
So tea. Simple tea. Liquid serenity.
