There are tons of studies on the health benefits of tea <a title="Tea &amp; Webmd" href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/tea-types-and-their-health-benefits" target="_blank">even webmd is in on it</a>. I have not authored a new study nor have I created a new<a title="11 benefits of green tea" href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/11-benefits-of-green-tea-that-you-didnt-know-about.html" target="_blank"> list of reasons why one should drink tea</a>.

Here's what I think: drink tea because you like it. Drink tea because it's hot and warms the body. Drink tea because it makes you happy.

Drink tea because there's a certain joy to wrapping your fingers around a steaming mug. Drink tea because tea partners perfectly with books and blankets. Drink tea before bed because it's a nice ritual. 

Or maybe drink tea because it makes you smile.

Definitely<code> drink tea because it makes you smile.
