Sencha’s gentle taste
Fresh leaves, verdant and fragrant,
Richly delicate.
Light brown oolong leaves
Soak up water and expand
Diffusing flavor.
Keemun tea with its
Strong fragrance of autumn leaves
Gently diluted.
Dark brown Assam tea
Gives strong color and fragrance
Up to the cup’s brim.
Green matcha powder
Whisked about in hot water
Forms calm, forceful tea.

Dear Liz!

Nice Poetry! I can simply imagine the taste when reading it! =)
I love writing haiku, despite the terrible results I produce! Such a fun way of presenting food thoughts. Thanks for visiting my blog, it's a pleasure to meet fellow food lovers.
