met my friend and shared some time and a pot of tea.

“meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. the afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. let us dream of evanescence and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”

Great post … I wonder if they are preparing Golden Monkey Black Tea Yunnan? But then again, it doesn’t matter anyway, does it? The line from the book says it all … “let us dream of evanescence and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.” I also love that line …
