Ode to Tea
Longing lips, eyes doting
As rolling waves of steaming water
Claim the role of Neptune's daughter
Transforming the magical leaves of tea
Into a liquor most pleasing to me
The taste of Pu-erh - an earthy brew
But an oolong brings something anew
Smooth, nutty and surprisingly sweet
My heart palpitates for this amazing treat
Lapsong Souchong calls my name
A taste of its pine-roasted liquor is not the same
Green tea, my preference? Genmaicha if you please
Brings my tastebuds to their knees
No Lipton or Tetley tea bags for me
But enticingly mild, loose leaf white tea
A warm tea filled ceramic mug,
Wraps its love around me like a hug.

Thanks for commenting! I have an obsession with loose leaf tea. Check out my blog: http://TeaEscapade.wordpress.com
I'm also an Etsy fan. From which retailer do you purchase your white tea?
