Lots of folks asked me why on hell I was so fond of some tea leafs. My prompt answer was an invite to have a cup of this amazing drink. And, in front of a smoky cup, among the vapour and the fragrance, answers unveiled by themselves. Probably this was the way I fulfilled to begin a fantastic adventure, searching for the magic spreading out this delectable elixir. Whilst my taste buds open to the discover of new and ecstatic universes, my spirit follows the same path that, for a fleeting time lasso, frees itself from the daily worries and concerns, to get unrestricted and enable the spirit to be launched in pleasurable and open-hearted conversations with friends or to embark a wondrous Pindaric-flight towards unknown places, where time seems to have stopped, for a tea, of course! Mysterious spots, misty as the vapour that circulates from the cup; places crowded with fat Buddhist monks, scraggy and gracious shapes of Indian leaf collectors, elegant Lords and brave clippers' captains, Chinese mandarins and gorgeous damsels dressed up in kimono. All these people trough centuries sealed with their heroic deeds the epic history of the most known and appreciated beverage in the world. Enchanted for the incantation of this infusion, I commence, my dear tea-fellows, to illustrate my eccentric vision of this universe, having hope for transmitting you all the inscrutable vibrations of the amber liquid. Would you like to join this world?
