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

A Cup of Tea in the Hand,

A Pointless Neologism on the Lips

 

“Tea is one of the mainstays of civilisation”

 

-George Orwell, “A Nice Cup of Tea,” 1946

 

In the afternoon (and you can look this uppa)

I don’t want a teafluencer; I want a cuppa
