tea poetry

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.
-William Gladstone, British Prime Minister (1809-1898)

tea poetry i picked up while visiting templar tea

Yes, that Gladstone was a bloody proper chap! However, I disagree with him that if you're warm Black Tea will cool you. It seems to me that Black Tea always warms you but Green Tea will chill you if you're hot.
