Our name, Seven Cups, comes from a poem that was written during the Tang Dynasty by Lu Tong, a hermit. He was so moved by a gift of Chinese tea that he wrote this poem:

‘The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh-oh the seventh cup- If I drink you,
a wind will hurry my wings toward the sacred island.‘

This poem is printed on each of these glass jars; reminding you to enjoy your tea every time you drink.
