That is definitely true but honestly bad coffee is still fine you just add more sugar and milk

#52

I can’t imagine that, never seen anybody order tea or make fancy tea in my entire life, just something you make at home to pass the time

Answer me babe, “yes I would
I’ll put you above me”

oh that’s not really what i mean by cultist. i mean people who bang on and on and on about how much they love tea, every fucking day. how they have 9 cups a day, how can you not drink tea???, tea is life, ordering tea at the pub, buying a special kettle with bluetooth so they can set it from their bed when they wake up in the morning… like fucking hell lads it’s a hot drink, calm the fuck down. and it’s such a signifier of Britishness.

at least coffee serves a purpose (proper caffeine hit)

Yeah i understand, never really met those people though outside of the odd friendly joke about tea being great, it’s like a conversation filler like people moaning about the weather in that aspect.

I think tea has a kind of relaxing and calming quality that coffee can’t replicate though so I see them as two different drinks for different needs.

Can mess with your anxiety levels if you make yourself a coffee when you really should have had a tea.

if it was standard breakfast tea then yeah I’d add a small drop of milk, think that’s the default for that kind of tea. no sugar though

I used to work in a cafe that specialised in teas. Some people would ask if we could buy in PG Tips next time (not even Yorkshire).

I think those people were straining to be unpretentious and IRONICALLY actually being very pretentious.

Hope they got a good pubing.

That’s very true, I just think it sounds like a 1 time only thing.

because of english breakfast tea, its a thing that spaniards will serve milk with any tea if they’re making it for a british person. fruit teas, green teas, herbal teas etc. seen some absolute horror brews over the years.

I was seeing a German guy and went to stay with him and his family, I happened to also have some awful stomach bug whilst there but hadn’t met his parents before so was trying to be polite and eating what they made me etc.

Just happens that the first meal was cheesy sprouts, I mean I love sprouts but cheesy sprouts, with a stomach bug. I got through it and after dinner (and consistently throughout the weekend) his mum brought me a cup of tea that was about 90% double cream because she thought that’s how we drank it.
