THIS IS THE TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH OF WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE SHORT FILM ABOUT TEA:

About tea

There is much to be said about tea.

The subject's scholars - the tealogists -- usually say that a good english breakfast tea with suggar, not sweetener, thank you, and little bits of milk are perfect, thank you, at any moment.

It is common to compare a cup with the moon. The least conservative incredibly stabilish a parallel between the cup and an interstelar portal that leads to nowhere, somewhere otherwhere.

Let us get back to the theme, with no distractions, the formidable tea.

There are many situations in which you can drink a reinvigorating cup of the precious liquid achieving satisfatory results. One of them is over-roofing-tiles. The instructions are clear:

The practice of tea-over-roofing-tiles-under-the-moon must be done over roofing tiles, under the moon. What means the tea must be appreciated at night time, most likely when it is dark, over a roof with a view to the moon and that can be seen from the moon.

Inside an immaculate container -- to be understood as a cup or any mug -- pour a little bit of tea. In the end, when the container is almost full drop some drops of the white-milk from the pure cow in the magnific liquid -- warm water fulfilled with english breakfast tea and suggar. The final result is som'thing like a delicious and stupendous liquid.

Do not acknowledge the translater's errors as he knows quite nothing about the languages from and to which the text has been translated. you mustignore any typographic mistake; the typographer is senile and - above all -- does not drink too much tea. To the subject we must get back: the tea, how delicious!

You can still appreciate a good tea of any'other species: being it earl grey, neutral earl grey; ceylon, dark ceylon; jasmine green, green jasmine; darjeeling, good darjeeling or any other that has been forgotten. Do not limit your experience with teas just because english breakfast seems to reach utopic perfection.

Old manuscripts recently discovered under thick bedspreads and blankets point towards a possible origin for the expression to drink tea to a tee.

Unfortunately, and by luck, every verb, adverb and adjective have carefully been erased by adept hands, making the text impossible to comprehend and the poetic mistery hidden behing the traditional english tea impossible to be solved.

Nothing else to state at this very moment.
