As I suck down some pu-erh

Chinese Tang dynasty poet Lu Tong explains the magic of tea drinking best in this poem:

“First cup moistens mouth and throat;
Second cup dispels loneliness and boredom;
Third cup makes the brain quick and lively,
capable of writing five thousand volumes;
Fourth cup brings mild perspiration,
draining all lifelong grievances through the pores.
Fifth cup refreshes muscles and bones;
Sixth cup brings communion with immortals;
No sooner has one drunk the seventh cup,
than a cool breeze lifts one up from below one’s arms.”
