This piece is about Meditation.
If you visit a Meditation center in CEYLON and if they offer you a cup of tea, please say NO.

The reason is good tea has ingredients which elevate and enegize you well before settling down in meditation.

In my analysis a good cup of light tea in the morning before leaving for work is the best option. 
Enjoy it.
Tea or Coffee during working hours helps to mitigate fatigue.

I am a Ceylon Tea addict and I lived on Tea during wirking hours in the University. We used to have a "Tea Boy" especially trained for  making tea. We had a good "Tea Boy" at IMMI and when foreign visitors come they were offered "Tea Pot".
When Robert McNamara came to retrenchment of IMMI staff, we had a Grand Tea Party.
The idea was to strike a good deal with Americans which is akways very difficult.
My boss Professor Ranjith Mendis was excellent in cakes but had a good taste for tea. I believe he owned a small tea plantation with a factory in Kandy.
When Japanese J. I. C. A. Guys left the University we had a grand party and I tasted the best "Orange Tea". I do not know from where he got the tea for send off party.

Good Meditation practice also release these feel good factors but not after five minutes of practice as advertised in the YouTube.

Meditation is a sustained activity but I prefer a good cup of tea.

The Yoga Tea (?Indian Tea) and Buddha Tea (? Chinese ot Thai) takes the origin from the "Feel Good Factors" or encephalins in medical terms.

If you a first time visitor to CEYLON, do not miss the "Cinnamon Tea" dished out free at the exit gate.
Best Cinnamon Tea is dished out (I do not know, how with NPP/JVP in power) at the top floor of Kheels Super Center. 
Of course, Fish Rolls and Fish and Egg sandwiches are delicacies at the same venue. 
Only Queens Hotel sidebar dushed out the best "Cachew Nuts with Karapincha".

These are some of the things I "miss out" in Australia.
CEYLON was known for "Hospitality and Good Food" before these goons came in to power.
