A cuppa filled with love till the brim
A cuppa which lifts your spirits and clears your head
A cuppa which almost erases the bad vibes
A cuppa which makes one dance and sing
To start a day with out this cuppa is tough
If I miss the morning cuppa my day gets rough
In the absence of this cuppa which energizes me I can't do any task
With just one cuppa I get up and smile and in the morning glory I bask!
As the day goes by, the office hours create a lull and I become dull
This cuppa comes like a savior and activates my brain cells and I mull
Over this one cuppa we have hundreds of conversations
The chit-chat never ends and never ending are the interactions!
When I have to discuss serious issues this cuppa comes to rescue
This cuppa is my sincere friend when ever I feel blue
The whiff of this elixir brings an instant smile on my lips
The hot smoke emanating from the cup gives my headache a miss!
This divine cup of hot soothing tea makes my mornings energetic and bright
A sleepy, groggy me wakes up to its aroma and takes a colorful flight
Again in the evening when I am bored or tried a high-tea is just what I need
A single sip of the heavenly tea makes me come out of the shackles and I am freed!
The Chai as we call it in India is the gateway to many relationships
A chai & sutta (smoke) break gives the friends a reason to sneak out from office
The one who doesn't drink chai is for sure missing some thing in life
For chai gives you energy to bear the routine and day to day strife!
Tea originated in China as a medical drink. This aromatic beverage is obtained from leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis . After water tea is the highest consumed liquid in the world. It has a cooling effect and an astringent taste which is relieving. There are hundreds of variations of tea as per the taste of each individual/ region / country. Tea has many health benefits too. Green tea may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, promote oral health, reduce blood pressure, help with weight control, improve antibacterial and antivirasic activity, provide protection from solar ultraviolet light and increase bone mineral density. Green tea is also said to have "anti-fibrotic properties, and neuroprotective power. For more go to wiki
Have a cup of tea and have a great day :-)
Note: I felt very Tired Thinking about the words for T. After Taking suggestions from A to Zers I Tried and Tested Too many T words and finally rounded on my most favorite drink- The Tea :) Now I need a cuppa for sure :) Thanks for your support friends. I appreciate it a lot !

Tea begins my day too! Being a South Indian, it will surprise many, but I cannot stand coffee! Ah, a kindred soul. We can enjoy many cups together :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. All my life, in my family, we had afternoon tea. Every day at 4 PM.
ReplyDeleteMornings, my parents drank coffee, and when I grew up so did I but I like tea better! Thank you for reminding me how much of a friend tea is to me!

One of the things I love about Pinterest is my Board I named The English Tea Party. Beautiful china, tea recipes,many lovely things. I subscribe to a magazine called Tea Time. Of course, here in the South I drink sweet tea. Memories of my mother bring tea on a tray remain today. Glad I stopped by during the #Challenge to have a cup with you.
ReplyDeleteI love tea! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a refreshing read :D refreshing words :) can't spend a day without it.
ReplyDeleteEk garam chai ki pyali ho.. Koi usko pilane wali ho..
ReplyDeleteI have dedicated so many poems to Tea. Good one.
ReplyDeleteHey you can make an A to Z with tea itself ;)
ReplyDeleteGood one
I enjoy a nice chai, although can't have it often. It is generally lots of water for me. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI love my chai and my day simply can't begin without a nice hot cup.
ReplyDeleteIn America, coffee is the thing, but I HATE coffee! We also drink iced tea, the sweeter, the better! Not very many people drink hot tea, but I enjoy it. I drink English breakfast tea (sweetened) in the mornings, mostly just in the winter. I am more of a Diet Coke kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteA lovely ode to tea! :)
