Thyme tea? Just.......thyme?

Snow Water

A fastidious brewer of tea, a tea
Connoisseur as well as a poet,
I modestly request on my sixtieth
Birthday a gift of snow water.

Tea steam and ink stains. Single-
Mindedly I scald my tea pot and
Measure out some Silver Needles Tea,
Enough for a second steeping.

Other favourites include Clear
Distance and Eyebrows of Longevity
Or, from precarious mountain peaks,
Cloud Mist Tea (quite delectable)

Which competent monkeys harvest
Filling their baskets with choice leaves
And bringing them down to where I wait
With my crock of snow water.

- Michael Longley

I've been on a yerba mate kick as of late, but it's a pain to strain... always a lot of sediment. I'm told the Argentines used the little silver straw to spit out all the murk at the bottom.

I like yohimbe tea. It gives me boner.
