Delights of the Heart: Monday's Tea Quote

Monday, January 22, 2018

"All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong,

but like it a little stronger with each year that passes."

~George Orwell, A Nice Cup of Tea, January 12, 1946

wisps of words said...: That quote makes sense.

The older we get, our taste buds may get a bit "worn out." -grin-

Orrrrr... We just build up a tolerance, for stronger and stronger and stronger...

Red Rose Alley said...: Yikes, I don't like my tea strong. Does that not make me a true tea lover? haha But I do love this red tea cup and saucer. It's sooooo pretty.

Tracy said...: LOVE these Monday tea quotes, Marilyn! And beautiful is your red china! I like me a strong brew, specially in winter. Something about a more robust flavor/blend lifts me in the morning and afternoon. So much depends on the tea though, of course, as some just don't lend themselves to long brewing time. But there probably is something about our taste buds withering with age and we need to make "adjustments" to flavors. ;) ((HUGS)); January 24, 2018 at 3:00 AM
