I Knew It! - "Why tea makes you happy, healthy, and smart"

Maybe you've seen this article on Yahoo?  It lists some benefits of drinking tea.  According to the article, tea "boost productivity... makes you happy... helps you lose weight... builds bones... is heart healthy..." (Eloise Sole, Yahoo)

We all know I don't need any more reasons to drink tea.  But now, what's your excuse?

Here are some cute, tea-inspired, do-it-yourself Christmas present ideas for the tea-lovers in your life.  Or make them for yourself, no one is judging! ;)

I hope you're inspired to brew a pot of tea!  We're coming into summer now, supposed to be 100 degrees Fahrenheit today, so I have a feeling most of my tea consumption will be in the iced form!
