What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since the kindlyplant was introduced among us. Why myriads of women have cried over it, tobe sure! What sickbeds it has smoked by! What fevered lips have received refreshment from it! Nature meant very kindly by women when she made thetea plant; and with a little thought, what a series of pictures and groupsthe fancy may conjure up and assemble round the the teapot and cup.
-William Makepeace Thakery


At last the secret is out,as it always must come in the end,The delicious story is ripe to tell an intimate friend;Over tea-cups and in the square the tongue has its desire;Still waters run deep, my dear,theres never smoke without fire

With each lingering sip
I cannot help but see
all that makes tea
as well make me.
