The Sensual Aspect to the Creation of Tea.

Infusion

Fire

Light the pilot

Water

Swirls in the brass kettle

Earth

Tenderly added in

Air

Rises from the heat

Soak in

Seep to a boil

Releasing steam

Relaxes

As it cools

A new creation

Sipped perfectly

He holds the handle

Stroking the side of the mug

    Mmmm… This is the perfect description of the tea drinking experience. But who is “He”? Hmmm… ;p

    Touching, exploring the “side of the mug”

    Well, you see, there’s this muse…

    After all that care and sensuality in preparing the drink, to then bung it in a mug rather than a fine bone china cup… ;-)
