Now my firm has gradually phased in a working from home (wfh) ethos throughout the organisation (where possible), and one of the highlights of this new venture is to see how many cups of tea I can drink at home and subsequently build a tea bag mountain.

My record so far is 8, balanced and fitting on the tea strainer. Can anyone else beat that?

Round, square or pyramid? Could make all the difference in structural intergrity terms?

Also, why do you need a tea strainer if using bags?

Doesn't matter what type of teabag, it's the size of the tea bag holder.

You can also use normal tea making implements to assist - in the above you can see clearly the use of two teaspoons for support

I think you might have got the wrong end of the stick when your firm said homeworking wouldn’t affect “productive at tea levels”.

More a tower than a mountain, surely.

I wfh and tend to have three mugs in the morning - they are very big mugs though - and that tends to be me tea-d out until later in the afternoon.

Has your firm initiated any productivity studies following this move to WFH?

They might want to look into that (unless of course your firm specialises in tea bag edifices).

Two mugs of tea a day is plenty. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, water in between.

You lot are GLUTTONS.

That's pretty disgusting. Leaving used teabags out. WTF is wrong with you?

You're not English

I'm as English as cheddar cheese. I just don't GET how people can drink endless mugs of tea all day though. There's people at work who barely have their mugs empty, constantly glugging away all day long. Someone is always getting up to do another tea round, and apparently I'M the odd one here for nearly always declining.

I mean I like tea, but not to the extent of wanting it on an intravenous drip.
