Tea drinkers unite! :tea: :teapot:

No coffee jitters to keep you up at night. A warm beverage any time, day or night. Add some ice and you have iced tea. So versatile. So universal.

Coffee for me, never been a great tea drinker. But I am fussy about my coffee, it has to be made to my taste and not so strong you could dance the Highland Fling on it.

The coffee heads have pulled ahead. Where are you, tea drinkers?

Wasn’t there some stereotype about nations and coffee vs tea? What happened to that? :stuck_out_tongue:

The vote was 50/50 when I just looked - it made me realise I hadn’t voted yet - so I just did - the vote is now on a par with the Brexit vote 48/52 ! :wink:

Coffee was more popular than tea in the UK in the early days.

Tea has pulled ahead again, as it should.

Go tea! :clap::mega::tea::teapot:

The early days was in the 18th century. Are you saying something about people’s ages here? :face_with_raised_eyebrow::upside_down_face::slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve just seen that article about tea-making in the US on the National ITV News - I loved the tongue in cheek humorous reply from The US Embassy, especially that last sentence! :joy: Brilliant!

I thought the whole message was humorous @butterscotch but it was the final sentence I found most amusing.

“The US embassy will continue to make tea in the proper way – by microwaving it.”

:rofl:

(If you missed it the first time round, this refers to an old joke from The US Embassy posted on International Tea Day a couple of years ago - see link below)

Thanks for the explanation. :slight_smile:

I bought a kettle in 2022, thinking I’d drink hot water and tea all the time. For the first few months, I used it a lot. Right now, it’s a just a water pitcher. Maybe if I grew up using one, it would be different. :potable_water:

In U.K., domestic electric voltage is much higher than in US - about double the voltage, I think?
I expect the wattage of an electric kettle for use in US would have to be lower and take twice as long to boil.
Maybe that’s one reason Americans don’t find an electric kettle as quick and convenient as we Brits do?
