    Nice. I have gotten a bit more into tea lately too...as there have been some tea shops that have appeared here, which have delectable offerings.

    Just had my first cuppa of the day, and am floundering in tea choice.Don't seem to be able to find one I really want to get out of bed for these days. You have a great set of options.

    Nice...you do make me want some. I'm kind of into Pumpkin Spice Rooibos lately...

    I love tea - earl grey, blackcurrant, rooibos

    Or old fashioned BOH tea from Cameron Highlands.

    delicately flavoured words, savoured over time. Almost an incantation. Beautiful read.

    Tea is my first brew of the day. I am definitely a tea granny. I enjoyed this post with your list of exotic and favorite blends. It does read like an incantation, as the cheesewolf says. Way cool.

    See, this is what I love about poetry... how it can celebrate something so sweet and simple as a cup of tea. Lovely...

    LOVE THE FLOW!
    This feels like a poetic version of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, a ritual filled with meaning and precise in it's enactment.

    What serenity this piece brings to mind. I've always wanted to be a tea drinker for the scene and process of making and choosing from all those teas. Wonderful poem!

    OOPS, I'm not a tea drinker, but it would be difficult to miss the the strong sense of feeling in these words. I agree, it does read like an incantation, or maybe a very tasteful and scented meditation.

    I love the list of names and the refrain-like repetitions. The result is a peaceful, timeless feeling.

    Wow I have not even heard of most of these teas. I will have to expand my tastings! I like the calm rhythm of this poem. Hugs.
