Herbal Tea

The "Seven Cups of Tea" “ The first cup moistens lips and throat ; The second cup dispels loneliness and melancholy; The third cup will search my parched insides, Finding there only five thousand scrolls of writings; At the fourth cup sweats a slight sweat, The annoyances of my whole life, Through all the pores of my skin, dissipate; The fifth cup purifies flesh and bone; The sixth cup makes me commune with the immortals; The seventh cup, maybe I shouldn't have drunk it — Immediately, a fresh wLind is born under my armpits". Poem Lu Tung, 8th century Chinese poet nicknamed the “Tea Madman”.
