chai patchouli spice
amber scented sweetness
spirit steeped
milked-orange honey

earl grey, pearly lady
sipping perfume

oo la la! oolong-long
slurping ecstasy

Author's Inspiration:

Tea is simply beautiful.  Everything about it is stimulating.  I drink a pot a day, sometimes two, and am also incredibly accurate at the art of  tasseography (reading fortunes in the  leaves).  The craft was taught to me by in my teens by a lady who was simply remarkable.  All dinner parties at our home end with a leaf reading session for our guests - not by my choice, but their demand!  *smile*
