about tea

[jusrecht]

It has not the arrogance of wine, the self-consciousness of coffee, nor the simpering innocence of cocoa.

The Book of Tea (Okakura Kakuzo)

That must be the awesomest description of tea I've ever encountered xD VIVA TEA \O/

The quote is so romantic. *__* (lol@ 'the arrogance of wine' part)

i am a coffee person, but i will never refuse a glass of ice lemon tea! xD

Blacker than a moonless night. Hotter and more bitter than Hell itself... That is coffee." - Godot (Ace Attorney)

Ironic that I'm sipping tea right at this moment too, but it is an awesome description. :D

[jusrecht]

It is ♥

OH MY GOD. This is a really, really pretty description. "the simpering innocence" ♥ What's the book about? o_o

[jusrecht]

Er, it's about tea xD A thin non-fiction book about tea, but yes, very pretty~

LOL of course it is, what was I thinking. Only I was reading this book titled "The Book of Flying" and it's rather loosely related to flying. Except, of course, it's fiction. This sounds good, though. Are the rest of the book filled with such lively descriptions? :D

[jusrecht]

Not exactly, but the book is definitely worth reading ♥ Do try!
