Today was International Women’s Day.
This quote was in the lobby of where I work. One of my patients stopped me in the hall to specifically point it out. He expressed how meaningful it was for him, in light of our discussions during our weekly group.
I am also a tea lover and I was an unofficial women’s studies minor in university.
So, in honor of International Women’s Day, I thought I would post this quote.
Enjoy!
I love this! My new favorite quote for sure.

It’s a bit of a joke with my husband. I always tell him that “tea is very important!” I love all tea, but I only drink caffeine in the morning. I love chai tea. Do you have an herbal chai tea recipe?💞

I forgot to reply to you! I also like the quote. Aside from the comparison to tea, which is very important, I am touched that my patient did too. He made a special effort to walk me over to see it — using a cane no less.

My favorite tea is Bengal spice, a chai that tastes like pumpkin pie in a cup.

My second daughter had a t-shirt made with that quote on it a few years back … those that know her know that when she is wearing it, she means business 🙂

Funny! Your daughter sounds like a riot! I liked it on so many levels. I love tea in general and I love the idea of transformation through adversity where we become better than what we were before. 🌈

Me too – it’s the one thing I can’t abide in France – week black or tissaines are NOT proper tea. Proper tea is taken with milk or lemon and possibly a sweetener of some kind and the first cup of the day is the most important moment in many a British life. My daughter is quite a personality!

Tea is a work of art. I also like herbal teas and brewing them from scratch. Plus, there is a lot of ritual around tea. It is very soothing and comforting. It is a bit of a standing joke between my husband and me. Funny.

I agree wholeheartedly. As a point of interest my Uncle (now nearly 80 years old) had tea plantations in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) but had to flee with his pregnant (native) wife during the Independence War. They then settled in New Guinea growing coffee until things got too dangerous there when they eventually moved to Australia. I remember the excitement as a child when a wooden tea chest would arrive at my grandmother’s house from him and the tea would be divided between she and her daughters homes so including ours. We kept the tea in special caskets and the ritual attached to warming the pot, getting the water at the exact right temperature and brewing the right amount of tea for the numbers at the table and then my mother graciously serving it and keeping the pot warm under its cosy has stayed with me forever.

That sounds wonderful! My mother really appreciates good tea and coffee. We also had special tea pots, tea cups, strainers, and a cosy. There is something very special about it.

I think ritual is an essential part of life – it calms and empties the mind of everything except the familiar pattern of whatever it is one is doing 🙂
