Don't forget the tea

 

Don't forget the tea

It comes from leaves not beans.

With or without ceremony

Sweet without sugar 

It lingers on the tongue. 

Green oolong high

or tieh Guan-Yin depth

Herbal with bookmarks works best.

Rainy weekend afternoons

With a chin on the windowpane

Fogging the glass with tea breeze breath

Detached from miles of misty mountain.

Hilly green orchard above the clouds

Connected to memories that tea transcends.

Don't forget to drink tea till the end.
