Mnemonic
A person sits in tall grass, carefully brewing tea from the freshest leaves. An angel floats down, drawn by the irresistible aroma. She takes a sip and gasps—even heaven has nothing this divine. The person grins and pours another cup, using leaves plucked straight from the grass.
Additional thoughts
Visualize a serene meadow: a person kneeling among grass leaves, steam rising from a clay pot. An angel hovers just above, cupping the tea in both hands, eyes wide with surprise that earth could produce something better than paradise.Quick recall
A person in grass brews tea so divine that an angel descends just to taste it.Details
