Hi!

First, I like your avatar!

Second, I think it should be 'Patience pays off': You will be rewarded for being patient.

Not a teacher!

"Patience pays (off)" means that you will be rewarded for patience. (not always true)

Yes, but the OP is asking about "Patience pays mea[n]ing", I think. Perhaps he needs to read the tea leaves again to make sure of the quote.

Oh, I just realised that he could be trying to ask the meaning of "Patience pays". If that's the case, Boris, it's very important that you learn to delineate your examples in some way. We normally use quote marks.

If it says "Patience pays" on the tag attached to your teabag, it means "If you are patient and give your tea time to infuse, you will appreciate the flavour of it more than you would if you were to be impatient and drink it too soon.

It could also mean that the tea company uses patience in letting their tea trees grow for longer to get a richer taste instead of cutting them as soon as they are mature. Maybe patience is part of their whole marketing campaign.
What brand is it, Boris?

Yes, that's possible.
