It’s a gift box
Holding nature’s charisma
Wooden, and carved with care
Nurturing the dried leaves
In its womb
Tinge of green
Reminds one of the hills
It has the love and care
Of the hand that picked
Them from the tip
Young and vibrant
Their true colors
Will be revealed
When soaked in warm water
Giving off rich aroma
And tinge of gold and red
Who would know
Drinking this brew
Can take you back to nature
Among the hills
Covered with mist
You can smell and swirl
The brew till you are satisfied
It’s an elixir of Nature
The morning ritual
Is intoxicating with Tea
Every sip is an awakening ©

Lovely to have such a poetic, almost romantic, view of tea. Very uplifting 🙂

The morning itself is so poetic and romantic and for hopeless creative people like me they can find solace in the mornings grandeur and of course tea, which is the elixir for me. 🙂

🙂 I love the early mornings because they can be so quiet, still and ethereal – before all the crazy humans start their manic daily activities. I sadly got out of the habit of drinking green tea (leaves) some years back, although I know how great it tastes and how much good it does for the body. I have, instead, succombed to my Italian heritage and start the day with the best Italian coffee 😉 We can’t always be perfect 😉

Yes, Sam, I agree with you. Mornings are indeed the beat and just if you sit there, it’s like meditation. But yes I have found means to cut off from the noise. Coffee is not bad but since I am Vegan, I cannot have black coffee. So I stick to Tea. 🙂
