Tea drinking is a wonderful conduit for thinking and reflection. While tea can be a hugely social activity, sometimes slowing down and being with one’s self, is a nice way to care for yourself. 

From the Ancient Art of Tea, by Warren Peltier:

“From Huang Long De’s viewpoint, ideally, the best tea companions are none at all. Brewing and drinking tea alone is a pleasurable pursuit for anyone; without need for company…..tea is ideally a time for quiet introspection.”

Take time for yourself. Drink premium tea and allow quality time.
