Morning tea (not the Australian kind)

Best souvenir ever; Reid brought me back my favorite Japanese houjicha tea from his trip to Melbourne.  It's rather nostalgic; I drank this tea every day for the second half of our trip in Okinawa, from day one of the typhoon on Okinawa Hontou island to rainy, drizzly Iriomote Island.  This tea is so much better than the imported houjicha we found in Ann Arbor.  Plus, every packet has a haiku on it, submitted by school children.  Today's morning tea haiku is a good one.


石投げて
月がちぎれる
水鏡
Throwing a stone, a
piece of the moon breaks off in
the water mirror
