Camellia Sinensis Dancing Striptease

 

Anyone who bangs on about the nuances

And the complex properties of tea

Loose leaves, filtered water, thermometers

How a slurp is superior to a sip

 

The low-Prole vulgarity of teabags

Assessing the full body of the tea

Then teasing out the flavour of the tea

(Camellia Sinensis dancing a striptease?)

 

Is a barbarian.

                         Just pour me out

A good cuppa char from the old Brown Betty
