Time for Tea

Here's a passage from a favorite book of mine, How Green Was My Valley,  on the wonderfulness of tea-drinking:

There is a good cup of tea, when you are feeling low.  Thin, and plenty of milk and brown sugar in the crystal, in a big cup, so that when your mouth is used to the heat, you can drink instead of sipping.  Every part of you inside you that seems to have gone to sleep comes lively again.  A good friend of mine is a cup of tea, indeed.
