It is way too early in the morning to laugh as hard as I just did.

Get outa here. I love tea.

I drink loose leaf and builder tea. Each have their place.

I've had the same problems. I suspect the name being short and common in other words leads to the suggests getting buried out by other communities.

I might see if expanding the display name helps.

No, it is not. Glad we got that sorted.

I drink loose leaf tea at home because it's easier to prepare, just add hot water and it's ready.

isn't that all tea

Hot leaf water has its uses. As a social ritual it helps break up that initial moment of awkwardness when guests arrive.

I kinda get what you mean. Everytime someone comes over I always offer some cofveve. I never used to but I started after I began watching the sopranos, they always offer a pot. Just because Tony is a murdering thug doesn't mean he's impolite to house guests.

Hang on, I’m old but I’ve always thought it was vile.

Millennial here, not a fan. Like, I'll drink it if I'm outside and freezing cold, but otherwise I'd rather just have a water.

I don't dislike tea, but I don't love it either. Just don't really see the point, I don't need the caffeine.

Years ago I did drink tea, (but mostly cos everyone else was) but it was never typhoo. Never even tried it. Yorkshire gold was my brand.

I’m 38, I’ve never liked tea.

[–] Mex@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

there are so many flavours to explore with tea and tisanes.

I like tea but I drink coffee, and my partner, while not British, does drink Lady Grey.

[–] Mex@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

We were a country of coffee drinkers before we were a country of tea drinkers.

Millennials just keep killing stuff.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the fuck you on about? We're the old people now!

[–] vzq@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah, true. But that won’t stop the media blaming us for killing shit we can’t afford.

We’re old, but we’re still poor. Coming of age during a once-a-century recession followed by crippling austerity measures does that to a generation.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago

We're getting to the age where our generation will start controlling the media, then we can start pushing the blame on the real culprits, Gen Alpha!
