On page 120 there is a brief description of tea that I found interesting. “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.” Although the Beat Generation was a movement that wanted to "save the planet and alter human consciousness," Allen Ginsberg, at the same time. The achievment of those two things would be almost impossible. What other things can tea be related to? Tea itself sybolizes tranqulity and health. It also brings warmth, what other symbols in books we've read can relate to tea?

anyways..
I’ve read and heard that some of the potential benefits from tea are its anti cancer and diabetes properties, it can also increase metabolic rate, and even boosts immune system and mental alertness. But on the other hand, tea’s effect on mental alertness is associated with caffeine.
My family drinks tea quite often so I know some of the pros and cons of tea. Metaphorically speaking, tea represents nature which can help a person if used properly, but would be harmful if not.
