An Ode To Green Tea

Green tea. A simple drink. Simple, but not meaningless. Green tea holds the secrets of my heart. There have been many a night where I find comfort in a warm cup of green tea. One can equate this green gold to an evening cuddled by the fireplace, or a cold morning bundled up in cozy blankets. This green gold has witnessed my happy endeavors as well as my days and nights of sorrow. Who would have thought that leaves and boiling water could be so poetic? So heart warming? The warm sensation travelling down my throat and into my stomach after the first sip washes away all negativity; at the same time reminding me of all my success and achievements. Late nights spent studying, early mornings spent on the bus. Ah yes, green tea. Without it, I would still be drinking coffee.
