If you've been to England, or have British friends, you'll know that they think tea is the solution to everything. Raining outside? Time for a tea. Dog just died? Have a tea. Husband left you? Put some tea on, everything will be OK. It's like a cure for all ills. And as it turns out, they may have been right about it this entire time.
