I sit here at a desk having a nice cup of tea. This, new research suggests, is much better for me than drinking mere water. It stimulates, refreshes, hydrates, and prevents every known illness(ish). It also provides a little break in the day (just like a cigarette), the perfect sort of break in which to read George Orwell’s essay “a nice cup of tea”, perhaps. Go on, you know you’re going to enjoy it.
