How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant.

 "The first cup moistens my lips and throat,

the second cup breaks my loneliness,

Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft away thinner."
