Nice to have finished 7 Cups on 7 Cups' seventh birthday!

@CintaBali

Oh yes, thanks for the reminder, Tie Dyed, Happy 7th Birthday to 7 Cups. Wow Glen, and all 322 350 listeners, what a huge acheivement in such a short time - nearly 42 000 000 supportive conversations!

《Seven cups of tea》 (七碗茶 qī wăn chá), a poem by Lu Tong, was Glen Moriarty's inspiration for the 7 Cups book, and (obviously) for the name of the site. Lu Tong (卢仝 lú tóng, 795-835), was a famous poet from the Tang dynasty, known for his love of tea.

一碗喉吻润， 二碗 孤闷。

yī wǎn hóu wěn rùn, èr wǎn pò gūmèn

三碗搜枯 ， 惟有文字五千卷。

sān wǎn sōu kūcháng, wéi yǒu wénzì wǔqiān ju n

四碗发轻汗， 平生不平事，尽向毛孔散。

sì wǎn fā qīng h n, píngshēng bùpíng shì, jìn xi ng máokǒng s n

五碗肌骨清， 六碗通仙灵。

wǔ wǎn jī gǔ qīng, liù wǎn tōng xiān líng

七碗吃不得也， 唯觉两腋 清风生。

qī wǎn chī bùdé yě, wéi jué liǎng yè xíxí qīngfēng shēng

The first bowl moistens my lips and throat;

The second bowl breaks my loneliness;

The third bowl searches my barren entrails but to find

Therein some five thousand scrolls;

The fourth bowl raises a slight perspiration

And all lifes inequities pass out through my pores;

The fifth bowl purifies my flesh and bones;

The sixth bowl calls me to the immortals.

The seventh bowl could not be drunk,

only the breath of the cool wind raises in my sleeves.
