Not proper Haiku, but it caught me by surprise and I couldn't help but write it!
Hot water pours in,
Aroma of nuts and smoke,
The sweet sound of peace.


Gen Mai Cha is one of my favorite kinds of tea. It is a mixture of green tea, smoke rice, and flavoring. Haiku should be scenes from nature, so the image of pour hot water into tea leaves kind of misses the mark, but I liked this, so I posted it anyway.
