Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea on a winter's day is

Comforting as a warm hug

Soothing as ointment on chapped skin 

Steaming like the lazy trail of smoke from a chimney

Wonderful like a homemade thank you card 

Rich like liquid sunlight

Swirling like a whirlpool of sweet honey and flowery flavor

.....

I find it interesting that tea was so historically important

That it was a catalyst of the American Revolution

That it was a symbol for the fight against oppression

That a lot of people prefer coffee

That without pollinators there would be no tea and honey

And that my tea cup come summertime rarely sees the sun
