There aren't many things as soothing, comforting, refreshing & traditional as tea. Whether it be hot or cold, iced or at room temperature, tea is always a good choice for drinking as a beverage. To put a kettle of water on the stove in the morning is like having a someone else busy in the kitchen too. Tea is a reason to gather to share & talk.
