It happens many times every day that we hear these words while hanging out with the communities. These, for us, are the cues to gear up the conversation, and teleport to people’s childhood in search of that one moment - when they stumbled upon tea and right away accepted it or left it for a lifetime.

Accept it or not, when tea was introduced to you for the first time, it was just another consumer packet product for you. What exactly is tea? Is it a drink? A diet drug? A cure for cancer? A gateway into mysticism? A skin balm? Is it a flower? An herb? You were not grown up enough at that time to ask these questions. Hence, you took your decision based on just the taste. (NOT YOUR FAULT)

HOWEVER, IT’S TIME TO REBOOT.

You are never old to rebuild a taste - reset your body – and renew your life. Having said that, allow us to define tea, to help clarify fact from myth, and to outline the importance of tea not only in world history, but in our own lives. Let’s rethink tea, and be aware that the taste and magic is not found in tea leaves, in the liquor it creates, or in our relationships to these things, but in its ability to help us feel connected to our shared humanity.
