A slow start today, after a beautiful summer’s day yesterday, we wake up to overcast grey skies. I feel very unmotivated today so I chose a sweet, gentle tea Sakura Rose from TLeafT, Rose blossoms on a sencha base flavoured with the taste of sakura cherries. In keeping with the soft theme my watercolour flowers teacup.
Time this morning was taken slowly. I opened the tea container and sniffed deeply drawing in the wonderful scent of the tea. I admired the rose petal sprinkled through the tea leaves as I scooped them into my glass teapot. Slowly poured in the hot water and watched the steam drift above the tea, then the condensation bloom on the glass lid. Then I poured the golden green tea into my cup.
I enjoyed a wonderful evening last night celebrating a friend’s birthday. To add a highlight to this joy full evening we got to see the penumbral eclipse of the full moon, the halo was so wide and clear. We sat out under the stars and experienced a magical moon occurrence.
Sharing a poem I wrote August 2016
Tea, Simply Complex
A slow and gentle awakening
As fragrant steam softy rises
Gently touching my face
In amber liquid endless reflections
Dreaming into the day
The first sip a benediction
Flavours burst across my tongue
Of long ago and far away
A world bounded by the china rim
May this Sunday be all you need to set you up for the week ahead. Blessings
