Real Thinking Tea

More From Dodie Smith

I mostly eat peanut butter sandwiches. peanut butter and banana, peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and potato chips, peanut butter and olives, and peanut butter and marshmallow goo. so sue me, i like peanut butter.
Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwiches
When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.
Real Drinking Coffee
Lastly, tea--unless one is drinking it in the russian style--should be drunk without sugar. i know very well that i am in a minority here. but still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? it would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. if you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Drinking Beer Drunk
I don't know what you think of me. and you certainly would never picture us together. but probably peanut butter was just peanut butter for a long time, before someone ever thought of pairing it with jelly. and there was salt, but it started to taste better when there was pepper. and what's the point of butter without bread? (why are all these examples of foods?!!?!?!?!?!?!) anyway by myself i'm nothing special. but with you i could be.
Thinking Long Special
I'm really into rooibos tea with goat's milk and a little bit of honey. i also drink dandelion tea, earl grey, and sometimes a green tea. i'm very into tea.
Tea Milk Dandelions
Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. when you hold your cup, you may like to breathe in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present. and when you are truly there, something else is also there - life, represented by the cup of tea. in that moment you are real, and the cup of tea is real. you are not lost in the past, in the future, in your projects, in your worries. you are free from all of these afflictions. and in that state of being free, you enjoy your tea. that is the moment of happiness, and of peace.
