To wonder why British people always sigh dramatically after a sip of tea?

[ThatCheekyEarlGrey]

It’s like clockwork - sip, then a big exhale like the weight of the world just lifted. Is it comfort? Habit? Performance? Genuinely curious, is this just a British thing or does everyone do it and I’ve just noticed it more here?

I am so, I have a passport and stuff!!! Putin gave me it. Erm, I mean the king!

I hate coffee too, so I’m not picking sides!

If I ever need to hire a PR agency, I'll choose whichever one "British tea" uses.

They must be amazing if they can convince people that a mug of bland, bag-brewed tea with milk poured into it is somehow the best thing in the world. I'm convinced its a psyop.

😂 When I'm Queen for a day, the Tower of London will be re-opened and all enemies of the British state people who hate tea will therein be incarcerated!

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT! 😂

There is nothing like a really good cup of tea. The first one in the morning, or the one you have when you come home after a long day, or the last one in the evening just before bed.... Or maybe the one you have in the early hours when you can't sleep so you get up to have a cuppa and a slice of toast and drop off to sleep straight away afterwards.... Or when you're not well and don't fancy anything except tea and buttered toast (none of those manky spreads pretending to be butter, having those on your toast instead of butter is as bad as not liking tea).

Because it’s tea!

I’m not sure what else there is to say

I think the most British thing ever has to be the suggestion that anyone who doesn’t like tea must be working for putin 😂

Let us enjoy our Tea ☕ sigh 🤪

So you consume 10 teaspoons of sugar daily? Thats a lot of sugar. Tea is a savoury drink anyway.

The closest thing to it is the first sip of the day of a pint of Dublin Guinness. Though that's more of a blow than a sigh.

I do yes, at least. And I’m on the skinny side. Sometimes I even put sugar on my weetabix. Lots of sugar in wine which I no longer drink, I rarely snack or eat sweet stuff, and I like a sugar in my tea.

Personally I find all the slurping and sighing and grunting very off-puting in a person. So dowdy and graceless. Maybe I've just not made good enough tea all my life!

This thread has made me smile and feel all warm inside.
I ❤️ tea - best cuppa is the one when you get home after a long car journey. Unbeatable.
