Cold weather is often accompanied by a soothing cup of tea, so it only makes sense that Hot Tea Month is celebrated in January. As the first month of the year comes to a close, you can celebrate by steeping your favorite blend and taking a moment to relax.

The term ‘tea’ is also used in popular culture to describe gossip, and just like the beverage, that kind of ‘tea’ is often best served hot. It’s also a topic that has been widely addressed in song. Today, let’s celebrate Hot Tea Month by creating a playlist full of chatter, rumors, and hearsay.
