Why is tea so miraculous? Is it the comfort hot tea provides on a cold day and iced tea gives on a sweltering day in summer? Is it the calmness in its ritualistic preparation, or its taste, or the stimulation it invokes while soothing body and soul? Is it because of the congeniality it creates in all aspects of society and all cultures? Is the miracle because, although it has been around for nearly five thousand years, it is still the second-most popular drink in the world, after water? Or is tea miraculous because of its accessibility and its health benefits?

Tea is miraculous for all these reasons, and drinking tea is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself.

To see one of my favorite sites where you can learn more about the health benefits of tea, go to: http://www.innteas.com, where you can purchase High Grade Green, White and Oolong teas. These specialty teas are hand-picked in China, and then beautifully packaged by my friends in London. Each package makes 100 cupes of tea!

 Some of these teas, my favorites, are available on this website, under "shopping."
