Tea has been an extremely preferred choice of beverage for centuries. Its calming properties and rich cultural traditions are well known for centuries and through dynasties. The popularity of tea has only grown, generation after generation with more and more people seeking out unique and beautiful tea sets to enhance their tea-drinking experience. This teacup story is fascinating and we took the opportunity to highlight three stunning tea sets that are sure to elevate your tea time.
The Teacup Story
A young woman went to her grandmother to have a chat and speak her heart out. She told her about her life and how things were so hard. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. Her grandmother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her granddaughter, she asked softly, “Tell me what you see.”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
Her grandmother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were very soft. The grandmother then asked the granddaughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the egg which was hard boiled. Finally, the grandmother asked the granddaughter to sip the coffee. The granddaughter smiled, as she tasted the rich aroma of the coffee.
The granddaughter then asked, “What does it mean, grandmother?”
Her grandmother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity – boiling water – but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to boiling water, it softened and became very fragile and weak. The egg had been fragile to begin with. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became extremely hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the very water that they touched.
“Which are you?” she asked her granddaughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”
The Lesson Learned
The lesson learned from the tea cup story is that we all face adversity in our lives. It is how we respond to it that truly matters. We can choose to become soft and weak like the carrot, hardened and closed off like the egg, or we can choose to be like the coffee bean and change the situation for the better.
The coffee bean, when faced with adversity, did not let it change its character. Instead, it changed the situation for the better by infusing the water with its rich aroma and flavour. Similarly, we can choose to be resilient and positive in the face of adversity and even use it to make a positive impact on our lives and the lives of those around us.
