Tea

[Chesney Christ]

Why does everyone feel the need to drink about 64 cups of this bland crap a day in this country? Its boring as hell.

Are we just trying to get out of doing work? Discuss.

You could say the same about all the frappe and other tosh that Starbucks purvey. What is it other than sweetened, coloured water, and yet people are willing to pay £3.50 for it. Tea and coffee contain caffeine; I suspect that is what the craving is for.

Tea is brill. Coupled with a biscuit is just bliss.

It also helps to get out of work for 5 minutes

Never drink tea at work, but getting home at the end of the day and having my one cuppa of the day is almost up there with a BHA victory over Palace. Fantastic.

A cup of tea with a (must be Chocolate) biscuit are nice, I'll grant you. Maybe twice a day. But why people feel the need to have any more than two cups a day is a total mystery to me.

I bloody love tea. Made correctly it's anything BUT bland.

What makes me smile about buying coffee (sorry to hi-jack the thread) - is that to charge £2.50 for basically grains with hot water and hot milk - there needs to be a process that somehow justifies the charge. But that takes time. So as a customer you end up waiting what can be a long time to be over-charged. Funny old world.

I generally have FIVE cups a day: one in the morning, three at work (9:00, 11:30 and 2:00) and one when I get home. Any more than that though and you can feel a bit teaed-out.

If made properly, tea is wonderful. If it's made badly, it just warm tasteless water. It helped us offload the yanks, so it can't be all bad.

At work you're limited with choice, so it's either water (which does get bland), or tea or coffee. Unless you want to supply your own beverages. I'm more than happy to get through 4, 5 or 6 cups of tea each day

A morning ritual in our house is 1 cup for me and 3 cups for my wife and nobody can talkto her until she has had her 20 minutes or so drinking her tea and preparing herself for the day ahead. She refuses to buy coffee from the likes of Costa and Strarbucks but buys filtered coffee or tea when out. I only have a diet coke or pepsi max.

Have probably had 10-15 cups of tea in my life, just find it so so bland and tasteless. Dont understand how someone can enjoy drinking 5 or 6 cups a day.

You clearly have never learned to make a decent cuppa

Tea at work is probably a bit of an excuse to stop and chat for a few minutes in most cases I think.

Besides, I hate coffee, which is the DEVIL's drink, but far more sociable (nobody ever suggests meeting for tea, do they?).

I laugh in the face of people who pay three quid for a coffee.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Tea is BRILLIO

And I would drink LOADS, in fact I do!

 

[daveinprague]

Dont drink tea at work. Drink tea at home, and anybody who doesnt like tea deserves death.

 

[severnside gull]

I drink 5 or 6 cups of peppermint tea every day................................"keeps you regular" as my old nan used to say

Chocolate biscuits should be taken with COFFEE, not tea.

Correct
