Tea and Us

From the very beginning, the moment I started falling in love with you, I knew there would be something we could call ours. Strangely enough, my intuition keeps telling me it is going to be tea and i think i did mention to make it our “THING”. After all, we did decide we would become tea vloggers or maybe podcasters, I am still not sure because your tea strategy remains a mystery to me. Was it Mountain Rose? Or that Chinese dragon blend we tried? Either way, we need to catch up, rethink the flavors we had . One thing I know for certain: we will be drinking a lot of tea together. Was beautiful to have you at my favorite tea place.

Here’s my favorite poem ever, it’s by john keats, it interestingly has a mention of tea.


A Party of Lovers

by John Keats

Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes,

Nibble their toast, and cool their tea with sighs,

Or else forget the purpose of the night,

Forget their tea—forget their appetite.

See with cross’d arms they sit—ah! happy crew,

The fire is going out and no one rings

For coals, and therefore no coals Betty brings.

A fly is in the milk-pot—must he die

By a humane society?

No, no; there Mr. Werter takes his spoon,

Inserts it, dips the handle, and lo! soon

The little straggler, sav’d from perils dark,

Across the teaboard draws a long wet mark.
