THEY SAID WE HAD TO LEAD MORE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIVES.
THEY TOLD US THAT WE WERE TIRED AND RUN DOWN.
THAT WE WEREN’T ENOUGH ON OUR OWN.
AND, FOR A FEW DECADES AT LEAST, WE DRANK IT UP.
COFFEE EVENTUALLY BECAME BIG COFFEE.
LIKE BIG TOBACCO AND BIG PHARMA.
BIG COFFEE PLAYED US.
LIKE A PUPPETEER, PULLING OUR STRINGS,
AND MAKING US DANCE THEIR JITTERY JIVE.
THEY BROUGHT US TO THE FRAYED-NERVE TIPPING POINT.
THEY BECAME NOISE IN A WORLD BEGGING FOR A WHISPER.
WE’VE CONCLUDED THAT ALL OF US (INCLUDING BIG COFFEE) COULD USE A CUP OF TEA RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
AND AN ELEGANT AND HUMBLE PLACE TO SIT AND ENJOY SAID TEA. A PLACE TO LISTEN, TO FEEL, TO LET LIFE STEEP A LITTLE AND TO FIND SOME
DISTANCE FROM ALL THE RATTLE AND HUM.
A PLACE WHERE ONE CAN ACTUALLY...
SLOW...
THINGS...
DOWN.
Welcome to Small Tea.
