I have lions but I’m not a zoo. I have clowns but I am not at a birthday party. I have rings but they are not worn on fingers

I travel the world, yet I’m bound to a cup. I can be bitter, sweet, strong or light, the preference is yours. My aroma can help to awaken your slumber. I’m born of bean and part of many morning routines.

I am known for my tartness, but I do not have yellow zest. You might squeeze a wedge of me.

I can swim in lakes, but I cannot live in trees. People often spot me in the ballet.

I may be incoming, but soon slip away. You may try to hold me, but no where near a day. As long as I continue, you'll live this day.
