Image: Tea ceremony  1931 (here)

A whole new level
Tea-drinking made an art form
Steeped in tradition

Dignity of act
Sip slowly to lengthen the
enhanced ecstasy

Set in motion cold
of  winter warmed by nature’s
blessings at the lips

For Chev's CARPE DIEM #905
Throw that Pebble #3  -  tea-drnking
