Green Jasmine Tea

The coffee house no longer exists
But I still remember the taste of it —
Green jasmine tea.
We used to drink it
Hot and unsweetened,
We’d converse for an hour
Waiting for it to cool down
Enough to drink comfortably,
Floral notes lingering above
The bittersweet flavor of tea
Over-steeped.
