Five times a day, I make tea.
I do this because I like the warmth in my hands, like the feeling of self-directed kindness.
(from Leila Chatti's poem, Tea)
Some may call me a pessimist, but I am not. There is nothing gained from loss.
I drink tea in the shade and believe in poetry. I am a zealot for optimism.
(from Chris Abani's piece, Pilgrimage)
When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things.
- Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
What else is beautiful:
Your hands, at the end of a long day, carrying a cup of tea.
(from Aria Aber's Rilke and I)
I had tea.
I then spent a long time in a bookshop. A quiet evening.
-Virginia Woolf, A Passionate Apprentice

Chai and conversations
Went to a really good chai place in 성수동 (seongsu-dong). It was authentic not just in it's taste but also in the vibe. I was so happy to see the same ceiling fan we have in India. Not just that, the containers to store tea and spices were also very South Asian! It made me so nostalgic. The summer evening was pleasant and after a long waiting, we could get the best seats!
