Tasting Tea
Fetch my own spring water,
Fragrant with fallen flowers,
Set up a fire in a marble stove
Try out my new tea,
Lying under the green shades in a tranquil garden,
Listening to the bees
Reporting their latest harvest.
~Sung Dynasty poet Tai Bing,translated by Martin Tai (1998)
Last week I received a small package of tea from Darjeeling, India.
I am thoroughly enjoying Puttabong Moon Drops, First Flush 2013.
Don't you just love the idea of drinking moon drops?
I couldn't resist that name and I am glad I didn't.
Delicious! from Thunderbolt Tea, which can be found here.
Are you drinking a tea that makes your heart happy?
Does it have a name that makes you smile?
