I wish I was more into it cause it’s a fucking pain when you’re at a work meeting or whatever and your choices are tea, coffee, or water. Geez a can of diet coke/irn bru or something.

Feel like most hot drinks are a big time and effort investment for not much reward

But I drink almost exclusively water so what the hell do I know about anything

I definitely held off partly in resistance to it being such a ubiquitous and ritualistic thing. Very suspicious of popularity and faffery.

That extended to coffee also, until I had a frappucino about four years ago and was turned. An espresso or any cold coffee is my limit, though. Can’t be doing with large volumes of hot liquid.

And tea and instant coffee smell well rank.

My dad used to very loudly hold the opinion that tea was the work of the devil and he only drank coffee. Drinks loads of tea now doesn’t he, the daft old swan.

top tip: they actually take practically no time or effort whatsoever

I was worried for a while that both my daughters were going to be lifelong non tea drinkers - both refused to even try it saying it smelt of “wet leaves”. My son started drinking it pretty young. Anyway it’s fine and they both drink tea now cos it’s odd not to like lovely lovely tea

I’m sorry, but you can’t make a good cup of tea without more than “practically no time”

watch me

Yes all the time I love when it reaches optimum temperature to just chug down like water

But do they take literally no time or effort whatsoever

This is the clincher

People who don’t drink hot drinks burnt their mouths on one as a child.

Think I nowadays have about ten a day. So delicious.
