Description
" Now you understand the Oriental passion for tea," said Japhy. "Remember that book I told you about the first sip is joy, the second is gladness, the third is serenity, the fourth is madness, the fifth is ecstasy." ~ Jack Kerouac, American poet and novelist
Tea in my favorite Noritake china cup is the beginning to a great day with the first rays of sunshine streaming through the window.

Love the Kerouac quotation to go with this Angela. We do "tea" around here too because Mom has dozens of these delicate and beautiful china cups. What an incredibly gorgeous composition and still life - this color is awesome! F/V

Tea just tastes better in bone china, no doubt about it! Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback and fv!

Love this gorgeous image and quote, too. (I think the 5th sip is when the caffeine kicks in, lol.) Beautifully done, Angela!
