A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
If I was hosting a high tea at home the last thing I would want to do is make it too fussy for myself.
Our trouble is that we drink too much tea. I see in this the slow revenge of the Orient, which has diverted the Yellow River down our throats.
I write on a computer. On breaks, I’ll make myself green tea. I don’t want something too caffeinated. I guess I don’t believe in chemical enhancement of my writing. Just slight, but nothing crazy.
No matter what is happening in your life, you always offer tea.
I did try judging a talent hunt series, but honestly, TV is not my cup of tea. The time required, I don’t think I will be able to dedicate that kind of slot or even the energy to TV.
I would give anything to sit down with my maternal grandmother and have a cup of tea and play Scrabble. She died 10 years ago.
The Tea Partiers don’t want all regulations eliminated. They just want laws that can be understood and regulations that aren’t going to destroy businesses, or leave deserving veterans without a source for a mortgage loan.
The political Right is particularly vehement when it comes to compromise. Conservatives are now strongly swayed by the Tea Party movement, whose clarion call is a refusal to compromise regardless of the practical consequences.
‘Rage’ is the word that most often attaches itself to the Tea Party movement, and it’s true that, from the outside looking in, their public demonstrations appear to be more enraged than any political events in America since the race riots and anti-war protests of the 1960s.
The thing that Tea Parties have to understand, you can’t govern if you don’t get elected.
I love smoothies and Vitamin Water, but I always have some iced tea in my fridge!
That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful girls, to talk, to write, to have toast and tea and live my life – that is what is abnormal.
I prefer to drink two glasses of water and then a nice hot cup of tea. My favourite tea is a mixture of Darjeeling tea. My breakfast consists of a glass of fresh orange juice and a slice of toast.
I thought I’d be the first to introduce herbal tea to Patna. White tea, ginger tea, rooibos, camomile. No one touched it. On subsequent visits, I’d find the packets decorating the shelves in my parents’ dining room.
I carry my own tea, food, and Tabasco on the plane with me.
Brewing a good cuppa is something not everyone can do, and I loathe bad tea.
The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible.
I love great tea and my meals from Sakara Life!
At times, for sure, I do love a party. However, I do love going back to my room and putting on ‘Only Fools And Horses’ and having a cup of tea.
There are certain things that I might not watch, and, in fact, some things that I’ve done I don’t watch because it’s not my cup of tea, I guess.
I think the sea swallowed dozens of tea sets – tossed in abandon off liners or consigned to the tide by jilted brides. I collected a shiver of china bits, with borders of larkspur and birds or braids of daisies. No two patterns ever matched.
When someone comes to visit me, they have to bring tea – you can’t stay in my house if you don’t bring me tea.
I was Tea Party years before there was an official Tea Party.
I’ve never had coffee. I’ve always hated the smell. It was always tea. I was a pretty typical kid, though. I grew up drinking Lipton. I didn’t know there was other tea to drink.
When the Tea Party comes to town, compromise goes out the door.
I don’t pass the Tea Party’s purity test.
‘In Utero’ was the first time I’d made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear ‘Pennyroyal Tea.’
I get home from work at six or seven. When I’m busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
We’d have Mick Jagger round for tea one morning or Janet Jackson wandering in, but I wouldn’t have been aware of it. I didn’t have a clue who anyone was. They were just dad’s friends popping in.
My mum would take us to ballet, and we used to go as a family to Brownies. My dad used to take us to Saturday music school. My parents would never say: ‘Oh, you’ve got to practice your violin now before tea.’ We were self-motivated.
When Ando arrives in the studio, he picks up his pen even before he gets a cup of tea, and he stays seated until the very last train at night. He hardly eats, just nibbles at little balls of rice at his desk.
Beating the tea party gang is more important than who does the beating.
I use a lot of natural products, I get facials, and I drink a lot of detox tea.
Obama is a guy who claims to be unaware that there was a Tea Party, a guy that’s detached from the country.
That’s why gospel will never be pop music – it’s not something that’d be everyone’s cup of tea.
I am an insomniac. Most of my nights include a moment of wakening. Often I will make my way to the kitchen to make tea and read for awhile.
Now my poor hometown is being castigated as the center of an IRS scandal. Humble workers at the Cincinnati office targeted Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations for special scrutiny when those groups applied for tax-exempt status. There’s no conceivable excuse for that. It was deeply, deeply wrong.
I have an amazing 1930s dress I picked up in Toronto at Cabaret on Queen West. It’s a red knee-length tea dress, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It makes me happy every time I put it on.
The tea is ice-cold, the room grows colder and colder, but I grow warmer and warmer.
There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however, when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery. It has to do with limiting the role of our government in our lives. It has to do with free markets.
I don’t consider myself to be a Pete King Republican or a Ted Cruz Republican or a John Boehner Republican, or a Tea Party Republican.
I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.
Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that’s fine; it’s OK. I don’t want to be the McDonald’s of music. I don’t want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody’s cup of tea, you’d probably be boring.
I like the pause that tea allows.
A throat-coating tea with some honey is very soothing for my throat, so I always travel with that.
Like a cowboy saddling a bucking stallion, Republican leaders tried to tame the Tea Party while riding it to victories.
The rest of my family are obsessed by ‘The X Factor:’ I’m intrigued by it, although its musical values are far away from mine, like a cup of tea with 400 lumps of sugar in it. There’s something very strange about Simon Cowell’s lips, isn’t there?
If Republicans triumph in 2014, it will undoubtedly be as a result of Obamacare. In 2010, Republicans soared to historic victory because the much-maligned Tea Party spearheaded mass resistance to Obama’s takeover of the healthcare industry.

It is not an overstatement to say that Obamacare was the single most important catalyst leading to the tea party movement.
I don’t really go out that much, if I’m honest. I’m quite a recluse. If I had my way, I’d probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine.
At tea time, all the noise, greed and aggressiveness of the ’80s can be drowned out. For 45 minutes, anyway.
I frequently dream of having tea with the Queen.
Lavatorial humour is just not my cup of tea. But, having said that, I’m really of the mind that comedy is so subjective and whatever makes you laugh makes you laugh. If it doesn’t make you laugh, don’t watch it.
I don’t really know if I’m writing the kind of roles that Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore would play. Jessica Lange on ‘American Horror Story’ is a little bit more my cup of tea.
When I’m writing a novel, which is what I like to write, I get up early, sit zazen, make a pot of green tea. I wear wrist cuffs to keep my wrists warm and minimize irritation from extended contact with the surface of my desk. I sit down and write.
Tea is a huge part of my life.
I usually wake up around 9, and the first thing I do is make myself a cup of tea. I drink a lot of tea – green tea, white tea, and all kinds of herbal teas.
I drank tea for the first time during the shoot of ‘Premam.’
I think the Tea Party has brought enormous strength to the Republican Party and I absolutely support its fiscal responsibility message, yes.
