The subtle charm of tea

Since I stopped drinking coffee six months ago, I started to enjoy more and more drinking tea (especially my dear chimarrão). While in Warsaw I saw a quote from Kakuzo Okakura, and I wrote in my travel journal:

"There is a subtle charm in the taste of tea which makes it irresistible and capable of idealisation. Western humourists were not slow to mingle the fragrance of their thought with its aroma. It has not the arrogance of wine, the self-consciousness of coffee, nor the simpering innocence of cocoa."
