The Miracle of Green Tea

Fresh virgin leaves Green as the dewy grass Hiding a golden miracle As it meets warm water Soothing to the core As it uncurls and spreads A ray of morning light In every sip A little sweet And then a bit bitter Caressing dry lips and throat Purifying the soul within The miracle of green tea 11/3/13

I take it you are a huge fan of drinking green tea. It's very healthful I know. but I just can't seem to get myself into the habit of drinking tea. I try it and then I drop off doing it every time. NICE poem
