If so, this probably isn't the cup for you :).

Wow. This is why I don’t drink tea outside of the house 😱

HoseGoblin · 13/01/2026 15:34

Is it fizzy tea? Why is it so bubbly 🤣

HappilyDivorced89 · 13/01/2026 15:35

Oh dear...very bubbly indeed! What happened?

My mom used to call that tea with money on top. No clue why. From the Black Country if anyone had this too?

This is why I hate drinking tea made by other people.

My Mum too, but she was Irish.

Aeroplane tea is the saddest drink in the world. I am still in search of a decent tea in a tea bag.

What the hell is that meant to be? I'd be raging. A shit cup of tea just puts me in a bad mood. #overreactionbutidon'tcare

Looks like dish water as my grandad used to say! An abomination on the tea front.

OllyBJolly · 13/01/2026 15:45

Looks like it's from a swimming pool vending machine?

Yeuch!

If anything it’s an under reaction! Tea is life here (Yorkshire) both home and at work. Depending who I work with (NHS clinical team) I can be 90% tea by the time I leave work.

My pee is darker than that. And probably tastier
OK. Dlight exaggeration

Jeanolly · 13/01/2026 15:57

It's from a kiosk in a hospital. I wasn't brave enough to taste it - although, being in a hospital, I could've risked it!

I took it back to the counter when it was time for my appointment because I didn't want to put a full cup of liquid in the bin. The man behind the counter looked astounded that I hadn't drunk it ... :)

The bubbles look like it's been poured from a teapot held quite high. Tea brewed in a mug is dreadful. I always use a warmed teapot.

Zoopet · 13/01/2026 16:17

My Mum ( R.I.P) would've asked " Have the gnats been?"
( Gnats pee-tea) if presented with that.

My Nana used to say the same, Yorkshire here 🤷‍♀️

My mil could give it a run for it's money. Normal tea should not be grey.

Jeanolly · 13/01/2026 16:38

I've never heard the expression tea with money on top. I wonder where/how it originated.

I would have drunk (drank?) that. For some reason I'm having a memory that we called the bubbles on top 'kisses' but I have no idea why!
I agree with PP, poured from a teapot from a height. Maybe with the milk in first.

Not a teapot in sight!

It was one of those vending type machines where you press one button for black tea, another for white tea, another for tea with sugar etc. But the machine was behind the counter so you didn't even get to press the button yourself!

@WithIcePlease my Scottish mum used to say exactly the same ❤️ if it wasn't very strong she called it a cup of gnats p knocked stupid 🤣🤣

Jeanolly · 13/01/2026 21:52

I think I remember my Welsh grandma saying "knocked stupid". Not about tea though.
