Lu Yu (733-804 AD) in The Classic of Tea wrote:
Drinking [tea] is most fitting for people who cultivate their actions and live in a simple and virtuous way. When experiencing heat, thirst, congealed oppressiveness, headache, dry eyes, vexation in the limbs, discomforts in all hundred joints, taking four, five sips [of tea] is as good as the best of wine or the sweetest of dew.
We are tea enthusiasts here at Peaceful Water. Sometimes we blog about tea. You can sample our ever-expanding tea bag collections in the lobby. We plan on hosting tea-tasting events in the future.
