Why is a cup of tea so satisfying, and often the first thing offered when a person is upset?

                               

 A group of best friends decided to have their alumni get together at the residence of one of their favorite university professors.

 The professor was very popular among university students and had been mentored for many of them. They finalized to make a surprise visit to professor. All planning was done and on a predefined date they visited their most popular and old university professor’s house.

 It was quite a happy moment for not only professor; but even for all friends (students of professor) also as some of them were meeting after a long time. Everyone was trying to know whereabouts and the developments in their friend's life after leaving college. They shared with each other; how did they move ahead in life. Few became a good leader having senior positions in corporate world, whereas few were doing good in the business world. All of them had got married and having wonderful family. Everyone had his/her own timing of life in achieving the milestones. There was quality conversation going on, but somehow the conversation soon diverted to complaints about work, relationships, stress & ‘tension’ in life.

 The professor offered them coffee and went to the kitchen to ask his wife to prepare coffee for all his students. After 15 minutes, his beautiful wife came with a pleasant smile.  One thing was to be noticed that she brought coffee in different kinds of cups !!! (crystal cups, glass cups, ceramic cups, shining ones, some plain looking, some ordinary, some exquisite and some expensive ones …). The students thought that professor may not have the same kind of cups and due to large number of guests; his wife has served the coffee in different cups. When all of them had a cup in hand, The professor said, If you noticed, all the nice looking & expensive cups are taken up, leaving behind the ordinary, plain and cheap ones. The professor continued, Every one of you wanted the best CUPS. When you want only the best for yourselves and if you don’t get it then it becomes the source for your dissatisfaction, problems, stress and tension in life.

 Life is like a cup of coffee - The taste of the coffee is not dependent on the type or external look of the cup but depends on what is poured inside the cup. Your happiness doesn’t come from something outside, but it depends on what you fill and think inside.

 A few investigations propose it is the genuine tea-production custom, whether for yourself or another person, that is unwinding. It has additionally been proposed that drinking tea brings down levels of the pressure chemical cortisol. Be that as it may, while there are many investigations about tea because of its notoriety, a lot is as yet unclear about how these mixtures might help our emotional well-being.

 Regarding why tea is proposed to anybody who is disturbed, I think it is part of the way established in custom. The actual warmth given by hot refreshments might interface back to the close to home warmth of parental figures. It is challenging to remain frantic at somebody who makes you a hot beverage, as there is definitely a component of care included.
