Get outa here. I love tea.
I drink loose leaf and builder tea. Each have their place.

Builders tea is (cheap) english breakfast in a tea bag.
Often served very strong with a lot of suger, and a bit of milk.
Can you get it any other way? I’m referring to PG tips / Yorkshire Tea / Tetley etc.

It’s what Brit’s call bog-standard supermarket teabags.
Na, builder’s tea is just very strong tea, like leaving the (bog-standard supermarket) tea bag in there for about ten minutes
That just sounds like a normal tea to me!
Is it still builder’s if you add the milk at the latter part of the steeping?
On the one hand if that’s a normal tea then you’re an absolute builder, on the other I don’t think any builder would ever call brewing the tea “steeping”!
Lister of smeg? Is that you?
Yes princess, won’t you join me in this tent?

I’ve had the same problems. I suspect the name being short and common in other words leads to the suggests getting buried out by other communities.
I might see if expanding the display name helps.
No, it is not. Glad we got that sorted.
Hot leaf water has its uses. As a social ritual it helps break up that initial moment of awkwardness when guests arrive.
I kinda get what you mean. Everytime someone comes over I always offer some cofveve. I never used to but I started after I began watching the sopranos, they always offer a pot. Just because Tony is a murdering thug doesn’t mean he’s impolite to house guests.
I drink loose leaf tea at home because it’s easier to prepare, just add hot water and it’s ready.
isn’t that all tea
Hang on, I’m old but I’ve always thought it was vile.
Millennial here, not a fan. Like, I’ll drink it if I’m outside and freezing cold, but otherwise I’d rather just have a water.
I don’t dislike tea, but I don’t love it either. Just don’t really see the point, I don’t need the caffeine.
Years ago I did drink tea, (but mostly cos everyone else was) but it was never typhoo. Never even tried it. Yorkshire gold was my brand.
I’m 38, I’ve never liked tea.
there are so many flavours to explore with tea and tisanes.
I like tea but I drink coffee, and my partner, while not British, does drink Lady Grey.
We were a country of coffee drinkers before we were a country of tea drinkers.
Millennials just keep killing stuff.
What the fuck you on about? We’re the old people now!
Yeah, true. But that won’t stop the media blaming us for killing shit we can’t afford.
We’re old, but we’re still poor. Coming of age during a once-a-century recession followed by crippling austerity measures does that to a generation.
We’re getting to the age where our generation will start controlling the media, then we can start pushing the blame on the real culprits, Gen Alpha!
The thing is the average tea you get pretty much anywhere in the world is made FAR below how good it could be. If you want to make really good tea, you need to buy much better tea and learn gong fu cha, the Chinese way to prepare it. Imho.
The stuff that many people make and call tea is a real embarrassment.
Supermarket tea is lacklustre at best, tea flavoured pesticides at worst.
I’ve had several people curse me out a bit for introducing them to good tea. Once they’ve had high quality tea, properly prepared, they recognise the swill used in their office for what it is.
I fully understand way people don’t like tea, if their only exposure is poorly prepared ultra cheap rubbish.
This is why I buy my loose leaf from the bulk store. I don’t want to get a taste.
I wasted so much money getting fancy with coffee. The last thing I need is to replicate that with something as elegant as tea.
Speaking personally
