AIBU to think this tea is stewed?

[ThisTeaIsBad]

Hopefully there is a picture attached or this won't make any sense.

DH declares this tea to be perfect. I say it is stewed.

YABU - it is indeed perfect
YANBU - it is stewed

That looks grim as fuck, is your water totally crap??

Whatever it is, it looks foul

I'd say your kettle needs descaling! And no, not stewed but I have my tea super strong with a suggestion of milk

You need to descale your kettle

Eww, with limescale scum too, get a filter jug.

That's an abomination.

Looks like its been left to go cold then microwaved.

Get a filter kettle it will up your tea-making game.

The colour of the tea is perfect for me but wtf is that oily looking skin on the top?

LTB

The kettle needs cleaning and maybe a filtered jug of water to start?

To be fair he does have other redeeming features.

It's living in a hard water area that put me off tea. Even using a filter and with a new kettle, it looked like this and always tasted disappointing.

I could only tell if it was stewed by tasting it

What's happened to the surface. Was it microwaved?

That's limescale on the top. Sort your kettle out

something wrong with the milk or just wrong

'Weird scum on the top'. Firing offence. Didn't stir.

This thread needs a trigger warning

That tea, the main part looks an excellent strong colour.
The limescale floating on top would make it undrinkable for me - get a water filter your tea however long you like it brewed will be infinitely better.

The colour/strength of the tea is fine but I couldn’t drink that.

Thank God for Scottish water.

I did consider ticking the sensitive content box.

🤢🤢 too stewed for me 🤢🤢

It’s not stewed but you do have a lime scale issue.

You get that film with London water because it's such bad quality.

Too milky and scaly. Not nice at all. 😕

Your water has got limescale. The tea is always going to taste awful.

We do live in a very hard water area, and the kettle is probably due a descale, however when I make the tea (with the same water and kettle) it does not look like this. The floaty nastiness on top only appears when it has been left too long with the tea bag in it hence for me I associate it with stewed tea.
