The bitter, strong taste
Can be pleasing to some,
And distasteful to others

Treated as a delicacy,
Which is treasured with each sip taken
Also portrayed as a necessity
Not just a want, but a need to survive
A dependence on the sweet, pungent mixture.

It can be made in an instant
Only taken for those in a rush
Or it could be made with care,
Every ingredient, the perfect amount
