Time for Tea
The kettle grumbles
before it shrills its warning
That it’s time for tea.
Cups clink together,
Chivying for position
Oh, it’s time for tea.
Teapot steeps and dreams
a quiet, gentle brewing
Yes, it’s time for tea.
Teapot tips and pours,
turns clinking into clunking.
Soon it will be tea.
Spoon giggles, chases
milk and sugar round the cup.
Now, it’s tea. Yes now.

Good old Red Rose for this gal! I’m a creature of habit and I don’t think I’ve spent a day without at least one cup of Red Rose tea for the last thirty plus years!
I’ll have to try your Red Rose tea. It looks like The story of Red Rose Tea began way back in 1894 in Canada.
Tea appears to be a much more gentle entry into the morning than coffee, but man, I need the full body slam approach to get going.
lapsang suchong… serious full body slam tea.
