the romance of tea
posted by Michelle Rabin | 2 comments
What makes tea romantic you ask? It is the environment you create with tea that can spark your passion. Couples will often drink wine together as a way to unwind and relax, or as a prelude to sex. I propose tea. Sharing a pot of tea with your partner can be an intimate ritual. This ancient brew is steeped in thousands of years of intrigue. Light a candle, turn on some music, brew up a pot of tea and you have created an environment that encourages warmth, relaxation and tenderness. There is a sensual component to a warm drink. If you prepare your tea in a nice size Tetsubin, there can be another warm sip waiting for you after love making, when you're feeling a little thirsty. The icing on the cake is that there'll be no hangover in the morning. Instead you'll have helped to promote health and healing. Imagine something that tastes so good and feels so good can actually be so good for you. I love it when the universe conspires to help us in our quest for health and wellness. As Dr. Wayne Dyer likes to say, “I want to feel good”.

People are slowly waking up to take notice of these things. More experiments and writings like your this article will make people realise the virtues of tea ans accelerate the process.
Hats off to your begining. Royal courts in China only knew of these things.

Well, I just have to make a comment, having found this website only recently. I guess we all have our passions, and tea is one of mine. However, I have never really associated tea with sex, I guess there is a first time for everything.
My husband has brought me a cup of tea, which I sip in bed, every morning, for the last 47 years - unfortunately - or fortunately - as the case may be, he is already up and walking the dog! So the association of sex is somewhat mute.
