Post-Echoes:
Kahawa
Tungu- Very strong Coffee common
among the Swahili people at the Coast of Kenya
Prompt by Heights of Haiku
We are at this moment, fellow pilgrim, treading on the boulders of this hill upon weathered rocks and rotting roots to smell a whiff of nature’s scent or to spot footprints on molten lava.

Oh such a good haiku! Love the photo, too.
Thanks Koko. :)
A great haiku - I can almost taste it, and certainly need some now...
Would love to taste this. Nice write and picture
It is late today and this is keeping me awake now!! Love coffee made from a strong decoction!!!!
I could use a jolt of that elixir right now!
A Little Elixir
I'd like to try some Kahawa Tungu. I like your title "Haiku - Elixir".
Wonderful poem and picture. I could use a shot of Kahawa Tungu right about now, or maybe some guayoyo - a Venezuelan coffee served black and sweet. It goes great with pastry...
Welcome to 'Echoes of the Hills'. That is a wonderful echo, Tracy B. And of course it is great learning about guayoyo.
Thank you so much. You will sip it, close your eyes and when you open them you are as sober as a judge.
And of course yours too which is a Little Elixir. So that we could compare the tastes.
Thank you Nanka. A wonderful blog you have there!
As we say here in Kenya, "karibu" ( Welcome). Thank you for setting foot in the hills.
Thank you for that. It's been a great coffee sip for sure.
