The mystery behind the name of the website
I had liked the name of the website at the very first place when I had a look at it. Can anyone tell me the thing that worked behind the naming of the website? I heard the website had its birthday a few days back, so I'm really curious here to know about the name '7 Cups of Tea'.
7 Cups of Tea is actually the name of a famous Chinese poem. The suggestion is that each cup provides a different level of healing. It?s important that our community feels that 7 Cups of Tea is a place where you can sit down and have several cups of tea with a friend. It isn?t just a one-time meeting. You can touch base as much as you like.
7 Cups of Tea, by Lu Tong (795 - 835 CE)
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.

Double window repair upvc
Today, as you know, insulating the communication paths of the outside and inside environment, considering the realization of the price of fuel (natural gas) and the subject تعمیر پنجره دوجداره of the 19th National Building Regulations, is very much considered and the double-glazed windows upvc play a major role in this Insulation is affected by air pollution, noise pollution and dust contamination in urban areas, رگلاژ پنجره دوجداره upvc which make it difficult to live in urban areas, such as overcrowded neighborhoods, but the use of a two-window upvc window can go all the way. End problems.
@Seaway
So very awesome. Thank you for sharing!
@Seaway Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing
@Seaway Not to be that kinda of person who thinks everything is about drugs, but... This really seem like a metaphor for self medicating with drugs, the 7th cup being what causes an overdose. I might be reading too much into it, but it seems so depressing to me...
@Seaway
It's an amazing poem!
@Seaway beautiful.

Interesting information
Mystery resolved :) I will write this poem on a piece of paper and put it on my fridge.
Wow I just love that poem and that it is the origin of the 7cups name. Sitting here with a lovely cup of tea right now and reading that was just beautiful.
That is a seriously great back story and i love the poem!
Thank you for posting the translation! The poem and the message that 7 cups stands for is inspiring and powerful.
It's so cool that the website name is originated from a Chinese ancient poem...
I heard that the app is available at Chinese app store now.
I wonder how did the founder heard about the poem and where he/she is from!
@Olivialeedotdotdot
The founder is from Virginia Beach, Virginia in the United States I believe! Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember coming across something about 7 Cups originating in Virginia Beach! The founder is @GlenM

I am in love with the poem that inspired 7 Cups ♥♥
