My great aunt used to say: 'to use a service is for drinking coffee, when we drink tea we want ecstasy!'...she used a crazy hotch-potch conglomeration of old porcellan some with family crests, newly bought ones and ones 'someone' accidentally took from various grandhotels across Europe (e.g.: Hotel Goldener Hirsch, Innsbruck!)
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

its jjst shocking how lkttle people in a young age continue the tradition of a good and healthy tea.
Tea is a tradition around this house. Darjeeling, Assam, Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong are the perennial favorites. Loose tea, please.
