In the pot, a memory, stirring, sweet, Blended leaves, a dance of flavors meet. Mornings greeted with a warming brew, Guests welcomed anytime, with joy imbued. Evenings, families, mingling delight, Snacks and tea, a comforting sight. A bygone era, those moments vast, My heart yearns, wishing to recast. Now a tea bag, in water's lively bubble, Worldly varieties, a sip, a subtle cuddle. The stirred bag, a lingering trace, Sipped with pleasure, a fleeting embrace. Tempo shifts, living's altered rhyme, Kettles abandoned in this modern time. Tea bags tidy, no mess to confess, Yet, the charm of stirred leaves, a timeless caress.

Your poem is so beautiful.... a blend of memories of the past and present. I read quite a few poems on tea. Each one is engaging and with a unique flavor. I liked yours a lot dear Jay.

oh your poem stirred memories of a kettle of boiling water and loose tea...that's how I grew up drinking tea...it never occurred to us that drinking tea was messy or inconvenient. There was something about this ritual that warmed the heart and senses...and you've captured it beautifully. Have to fav this one. Have a great evening, Sara
