AIBU to never buy teabags as I hate making tea even though guests like it?

I hate tea. I don't like the taste of it, the smell of it, the wet soggy bags, and it gets on my nerves hanging about waiting on it to be ready, the right colour etc PITA

I used to delibrately make the tea really badly in the hope people would stop asking me to make it.

Now I just don't buy teabags. Recently my sister and separetly my ex husband have brought teabags with them because they know I never have teabags in the house.

And they know fine well why is this, because I hate making tea.

So now I have 2 boxes of teabags foisted upon me together with the expectation that, as hostess, I should suck it up and make copious cups of tea simply because there are now teabags in the house?

Is it really rude to just say to any guest...'if you would like a cup of tea please help yourself but I'm not making it' in a nice way?

I hate tea, can't stomach it at all! My heart does sink when I offer DH a drink and he asks for tea but I'm not churlish enough to refuse....yet! It may come, I genuinely hate tea and he drinks coffee so I don't get why he can't just have a coffee

As an aside, until I had ds1 all I would drink was tea, couldn't stand coffee. Then I had a horrid labour with ds1 and a cup of tea after which was the last one I drank! Haven't been able to stomach a cup of tea since and ds1 is 11 this yearConfused

Iamsparklyknickers you hit it on the head with your words 'Tea drinkers are fussy buggers'
