What is your favorite drink?

Tea means Tea

No matter where or how you get it, you need it. Do these lines seem false?

Do they seem trivial from a materialistic point of view? Let them seem so!

Because, tea means tea!!

Tea can be just with ginger and basil, Or can be with cinnamon and vanilla,

If you miscalculate the sugar, it still be made, If you use a pot meant only for milk, tea can still be made.

It is so accommodating…it’s heavenly…it’s ☕

You can drink tea with your milk teeth, And you can… it even if you have dentures.

Do you remember when you had your first tea? When did you win that cup after arguing with your parents?

Did you dip biscuits into tea with your siblings? Or did it taste best with Sunday brunch? Your whole life was mapped around tea.

Some people claim tea is just overrated, Some criticize roadside cutting chai. One such person once told me, “I have never had tea in my life. I’ve tried all sorts of addictions, but never touched tea. Has anything gone wrong for me? Have I lacked anything?” He thought I agreed with him, And all I said was: “Tea means tea… It’s a bliss in a glass.”

Once watch the rain while sipping tea, Maybe have iced tea in the sweltering noon,Or relish a lemon tea with a satisfied heart.

Be it grimy tea on a train journey, Or a pristine, fancy tea in an MNC cubicle. Still, tea means tea…

Tea sometimes feels like laziness, Just a simple indulgence for the hands and lips.

Tea sometimes spills, It stains your clothes too. Yet, just two sips of tea can energize you.

Even its mere aroma can uplift your spirits. That’s why, tea means tea… No matter who offers it, no matter when, you always need it.
