No poetry reading is complete without tea and elevator music. Most people would think that coffee is the prefered beverage of poetry slammers. However, tea is essential. Coffee is chock full of caffeine and little else, even though it comes from a bean. Tea, however, is herbalized right down to its core. Tea is all about getting back to nature. Tea is like grass chopped up in little bits and dipped in water to eradicate all of its grassy goodness.
So why do tea and poetry go hand in hand? Because poetry, like tea, is about finding a center. Tea stems the center of nature. Poetry stems from the center of one's soul. And since one is a part of nature, it only makes sense that tea would help one to communicate with one's soul.
What is commonly put in tea? Honey. Honey is made by bees. Bees and birds do not procreate with each other. That is called "interspecies relations".
