Asheville grown tea plant with resident bear.
I recently enjoyed a lovely evening of poetry and tea at Asheville's Dobra Tea.
We sipped tea, listened to tea poetry, and wrote poems. Here's my poem:
Earth sends her gifts
through these leaves -
filling me with life energy
as I sip the brew.
From taste to taste
with each new infusion
I follow the tea journey:
an ancient Earthly offering.
