At the present moment tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, losing only to water. However, the majority of its popularity comes from the eastern part of the world. Countries such as United States, Canada and Mexico are still lagging behind, but I think that's going to change within the next decade or two. Let me explain why.

Throughout history it's been proven that people tend to follow trends. Whether it's the trend of the government, the way food is produced, or the way people eat, one part of the world starts it off and within a few years the entire world is following along.

Right now there are millions of people trying to better their lives in some way. Self development has one of the highest growth rates in the world, the health industry is booming like never before, and things like the law of attraction are spreading throughout the world like wildfire.

Subjects such as quantum physics are finally starting to come out of the woodwork and get into the mainstream, after decades of research.

With all these positive changes, in my mind it's likely that the world will soon start to shift course and be filled with healthy individuals who want to succeed their health, financial, and spiritual lives.

If you've ever heard of the law of attraction you will know that it will attract to you what you want to happen. So think of what would happen if the world was filled with people who were consciously attracting things into their lives such as perfect health, peace with others, and financial abundance.

I can tell you one thing, the world would be a much better place. World peace would be something that was actually conceivable, and there would be much less hunger in the world.

Your probably thinking, so how does this fit in with tea? Well, it seems that folks who are interested in further developing their health and spiritual lives also tend to be tea drinkers.

Tea has been used for centuries to strengthen the bond between a persons health and spiritual life, and it's my belief that as the next few years pass, this will becoming the mainstream of life on this earth.

The problem right now is that people only see tea as a drink that is just that - a drink. They don't drink it correctly, using the time they have while drinking the tea to reflect on their day, visualize their goals, connect spiritually to whatever God or energy or whatever they believe in, and create a better life for themselves.

However, I see that changing as the law of attraction spreads and the world as a whole starts to see things the way they're meant to be seen - in a positive way.

Only then will people begin to realize that they should be drinking tea instead of drinks that are making them fat and unhealthy, such as soda.

Maybe I'm being over optimistic but I have a great feeling that my prediction will someday come true, hopefully sooner than later.

I guess we'll just have to wait a few more years to see if I was right.
