Seven Cups of teas by Lu Tong, 1835, China
First cup souses lips and throat;
Second cup relieves loneliness and worries;
Third cup burgeons thoughts and words;
Fourth cup flushes out complaints and anger;
Fifth cup cleans muscles and bones;
Sixth cup purifies heart and soul;
Seventh cup may be declined;
It will fly you like a kite. |

Tea Poem (1865) by Gladstone,
Prime Minister of Great Britian
If you are cold, tea will warm you.
If you are hearted; it will cool you.
If you are depressed; it will cheer you.
If you are excited, it will calm you. |
