Loose-Leaf Jasmine Green Tea With Organic NY State Honey

O tea! How I love you!

Your aroma of tannin and herbs!

The way my organic honey

melts within you

softening and softening

as I stir

until you are one.

The smoothness of my clean light blue mug

warmly caressing the morning stiffness

of my palms.

Your soft wet heat flowing gracefully

down my gullet,

gently coaxing me

from sleepy to awake –

not too fast!

Just right.

O tea!

You are just right for me.
