Thank God for Tea

Sydney Smith was a renowned 19th century English clergyman who liked to thank God for tea. According to his memoirs, it seems he had a great wit, was a prolific author and a bit of a statesman. But probably the most important things tea enthusiasts remember him for are his famous quotes and sayings about tea. These quotes have endured through the centuries and attest to his great sense of humor.

Put the tea kettle on and snuggle up in your quiet tea spot as you read, chuckle and sip in agreement with Rev. Sydney Smith, a fellow tea enthusiast from long ago.

“Thank God for Tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea. I always fear that creation will expire before tea-time.” – Rev. Sydney Smith
