Tea In A Glass Cup

The bubbling boiling water
Sends the cushion of tea leaves afloat
The flavours burst out breaking free.
The swirling golden shadows 
Quickly shade to honey brown...
Oh. The luxury of Tea!

The earthy aroma calms the soul.
Added, some snow white milk...
A silky beige beverage for me.
There's something magical
About watching this process
Through the clear glass of this cup of Tea.

As I read your poem, I am ironically drinking Chamomile tea with a blueberry scone. Perfect! To me, your last three lines say it all. What a sweet poem.

Yes, I love watching the colour of the water change with teabags or even when putting a drop of juice in water. :-D
