A silly british stereotype is that during any and every crisis us brits think it best to enjoy a warming cup of tea. I mean don't get me wrong, I enjoy a a nice strong cup of tea as much as the queen does; but can it really lighten and refresh a disasterous situation? In a strange way...I think it can. By offering someone a cup of tea you are offering them something to replenish their thirst and distract them from a distressing situation. You are recieving a gift which aims to savour and detract your emotions from the situation before you. Further more a cup of tea offers warmth and can be made to your own unique taste.
