The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Coffee Beans

Gentle yet strong like a baby ox
Cold yet hot like the trail of a fox

Steam rises like a locomotive
Black as the night, black as ink when I wrote this

Vital energy for the mourning
Alert and awake like a bird singing

Stomach like a quarter in a washing machine
Peeking your head out just to be seen

Heart rejoices such kindness
The compassion thats shown is enlightening

How can a ordinary bean be so intense
Drinking coffee is common sense
