Certain teas are soothing and can help you deal with those heart wrenching plot twists. You know you’ll need the help.

5.

benefits

Tea keeps you WARM!! (New Englanders we all know we need warmth right now.) It’s much easier to enjoy and focus on your books when you’re not shivering to generate body heat.

7.

flavors

Flavors! There are thousands of tea flavors and there are just as many book flavors. Mix and match tea flavors to book flavors to see which compliment each other.

8.

Stay slim while you read. We all know readers are sedentary creatures. Some teas help you “lose weight” while most just help increase your metabolism.

9.
