Hojicha is a green tea that
Isn’t necessarily green
Like many teas it’s origins
Lays in an ancient capital city
To this day, it’s methods
Are still practised daily
Hojicha making is a common
Morning ritual in Asia
How beautiful it is
That medieval beverages
Still walk their way
Into the modern life
Common leaves roasted in porcelain
Above a charcoal haze
Stripped of catechins
The roasting flavour pours
Into the leaves
As it gains an autumn tan
Adored for their gorgeous mildness
They're treated to all ages
Served after an evening meal
Or before the lights go out
Highly loyal to all tongues

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
