Gratitude...

 

 

 

 

 

Curved melding centuries

    steaming pressing beams

he anoints my tongues.

Can you guess the tea I'm referring to?

careful not to boil the water :)

Earl Gray if I am not mistaken. It is one of my favorite teas, quite a relaxing drink if I do say so. It has gotten me through many difficult nights. A great tribute to a wonderful tea!

great poem

[Allen Smuckler]

I'm not a tea drinker....not a fair question...
but a terrific description of aroma and taste
Let me know which one and I'll be sure to try it...

oh a fellow tea lover as well! I think you and I would be great friends and have many wonderful conversations over a cup (or mug) of steaming, fragrant tea.

Twinings (and only Twinings as I have found as yet) has a version of Earl Grey tea called "Lady Grey" which is slightly lighter, a little more citrus, and a hint more delicate than Earl Grey. You should try it - especially in Spring or Summer.

You join some great ancient Asian poets in being inspired by tea!! It is something I could write REAMS on... but I will try to spare you all the worst of it.

Peppermint tea anoints my tongue :)

Hard to fathom, but inspiring nonetheless.
