Coffee and carbonated drinks may offer artificial and short-term highs, but tea is the only beverage that naturally recharges and revitalizes. What better way to start the day than with a clear head? After a good night's sleep, a morning prayer, and a hearty breakfast, clarity of thought is the only other most essential thing one needs to make it through the daily grind. just what is clear thinking? There's a world of difference between just looking and truly seeing. Between hearing and listening. Between making do and making sense. When your head is clear, it means you're alert and ready. You're observant and keen. You're calm but compassionate. And when you are all of the above, you just can't help making the right choices, the right decisions that lead to the right kind of life. But before all that, a primary choice must be made. And that choice may just as well be the first drink you take in the morning. Yes, it's in the tea. The first thing about taking tea is that it's a mood enhancer. It's a fell-good drink. It's a form of aromatherapy that begins with a swirl of heavenly scents billowing up your nostrils and a swish of tasty liquid on your tongue, which leaves a warm feeling in your belly. While you savor these sensory experiences, the tea in your body releases a mixture of compounds that stimulate you brain, nourish your cells, aid in digestion, and calm your nerves - all at once. Not a lot of people know about this yet, but tea has little secret. It's called theanine. Only tea plants have it, and that's why it's the drink of choice by many cultures over the centuries. Theanine is almost like a magical ingredient that does two things at once: it makes you alert, and relaxes you at the same time. It helps you live in the moment - in the here and now. Theanine is all about balance. That wonderful combination of alertness and relaxation is the balance all enlightened human beings strive for. It's equilibrium,. It's equanimity. It's peace of mind.
