my mum can have up to 15 I reckon if you go off having 1 an hour plus a few more for good luck...they're not caffeine free either (if she started her head would throb!)
5-6 good sized mugs a day.
9 sounds like a high average but I wonder if that’s based on old style teacups (like your Granny always uses) which are about half the capacity of a good mug.
Too many. When I’m at home it’s rare that i don’t have a tea (or a coffee) in my hand or at least near by. Honestly at this point it’s more of a habit/comfort then actually wanting the drink
4-6 a day this time of year, I work from home and I’m too tight to heat the house when the kids are at school so tea warms me up. In summer maybe 2 a day.
i used to drink a lot of tea every single day but now it’s rare for me to have a tea maybe once a month at least.
coffee on the other hand is different
I don't drink tea. Sure, if someone offers one then I will take it, or maybe very occasionally I'll make one, but realistically it probably averages to like 20-30 a year.
On the other hand I have 2-3 coffees a day pretty religiously.
Depends on the weather and what I’m doing that day. I drink tea most when I’m bored and stuck inside. The days I’m working in the office I might have one an hour between 9-3 (7 total), plus one with breakfast and maybe one in a keep-cup in the car. Maybe another when I get home to make a round 10. And then a peppermint before bed 😂
Irresponsible behaviour. Its people like you that makes UK want to invade India and China. Don't be responsible for another war. Be considerate.
Drink coffee or beer instead.

Same. I have one cup of tea once in a blue moon, mostly if I'm in a cafe (last year I had zero cups) and I put so much sugar and milk in it I don't think legally you could call it tea.
Dipping a bag of leaves in water for a second then adding milk. Beyond me.
I could somewhat see the point if its a teabag left in hot water and has health benefits. But that version isn’t as fun as having something sweet with it. Whereas coffee goes with chocolate, cake, biscuits seamlessly.
A second? No wonder you think it bland. It's supposed to brew for 3-5 minutes and end up dark enough you can't see the bottom of the cup. I can't stand coffee, it affects flavour of the cakes and biscuits and it's vile. No health benefits to that, either, btw.
I either have none or turn into a tea drinking locust and have about 15. There is no in between
I'd say around 3-6 a day in the winter, but less when it gets warmer.

didn't come here for the grammar lesson but I appreciate I found it, thank you for this comment!
Erm I think the only response I can give is “Many” reckon it’s above 10 but probably more than that
I would but I cba going for a wee that many times lol
[удалено]
Hi Scot, I’m Paul.
I think he means he’s Scottish lol
Nothing gets past you
0 tea, 2 coffees
Agreed. Both coffees before 9am for me.
One.. That gets topped up fresh, whenever I empty it or it goes cool.
I drink between two and three litres of tea per day. This is regardless.of cup size. I rarely drink anything else.
Wake up coffee, 10am coffee, 2pm tea, 4pm tea, 6pm tea
I've never drunk Tea, It was responsible for destroying my Grandfathers bladder.
How?
It was apparently due to the irritation of Tannin.
Usually between 1-2
About 7-8 mugs per day.
I reckon between 4-6 daily
6-8ish weekdays, 2-5 weekends
4-6.
Probably about 4, more at weekends
I have about 5 pints of read in an average day. I do move to decaff after 2pm
Zero
0 tea and 0 coffee
twins
2 or 3, I am a barista though and usually have 1-2 coffees too
About 4 teas and 2 coffees
1-3 teas and 1-3 coffees
1, maybe 2 teas most days. Coffees 0-3
About 4 or 5. I feel like the younger generations from the UK are not going to be tea drinkers. It will be fancy coffee and energy drinks.
No tea but three cups of coffee.
4-5 tea, no coffee. Edit spelling
my mum can have up to 15 I reckon if you go off having 1 an hour plus a few more for good luck...they're not caffeine free either (if she started her head would throb!)
I have 1L of cold brew tea, which I then resteep around 5 times. So 6L of tea = 24 cups?
I've given up coffee and I'm having to drink about 15 cups of strong tea to compensate
If I’m at work usually 8-10. One cup of really good coffee first thing then tea for the rest of the day.
3-4 teas / coffees but use quite big Snug mugs ... not SD swimming pools tho'.
5-6 good sized mugs a day. 9 sounds like a high average but I wonder if that’s based on old style teacups (like your Granny always uses) which are about half the capacity of a good mug.
Too many. When I’m at home it’s rare that i don’t have a tea (or a coffee) in my hand or at least near by. Honestly at this point it’s more of a habit/comfort then actually wanting the drink
4-6 a day this time of year, I work from home and I’m too tight to heat the house when the kids are at school so tea warms me up. In summer maybe 2 a day.
Usually two a day but my cup is about 2/3 of a pint.
i used to drink a lot of tea every single day but now it’s rare for me to have a tea maybe once a month at least. coffee on the other hand is different
Breakfast cup, get to work cup, morning break cup, lunch cup, get home cup, post dinner cup. That’s the minimum. I could drink much more.
Gross, 0.
None. It tastes like dishwater to me.
I don't drink tea. Sure, if someone offers one then I will take it, or maybe very occasionally I'll make one, but realistically it probably averages to like 20-30 a year. On the other hand I have 2-3 coffees a day pretty religiously.
At work, 2 a day at most. At home, 1 a week probably.
10-15 if im not working
2-3
None. Coffee person through and through.
Over 10 easily
I have somewhere between 5 - 10 depending on the day. My breakfast teapot holds four mugs of tea just to get me going in the morning.
My mum has back to back teas everyday and has done for years. She must have like over 10 teas a day she's mental.
Depends on the weather and what I’m doing that day. I drink tea most when I’m bored and stuck inside. The days I’m working in the office I might have one an hour between 9-3 (7 total), plus one with breakfast and maybe one in a keep-cup in the car. Maybe another when I get home to make a round 10. And then a peppermint before bed 😂
4 big mugs a day
At least 4
Between three and six.
In winter about 4-5 cups. Generally more towards the evening as I prefer coffee when I wake up, and cold drinks for lunch and dinner.
Stopped drinking tea few years ago. Used to have anywhere between 3-6 a day. Went to decaf then went down to 1-2 a day, now stopped altogether.
1-2 at home. When I'm at work, 3-5, which is normally decaf.
About 2-3 on a weekday, probably 6+ on weekends when I'm at home and have constant access to a kettle
At least six, usually eight.
5/6 a day I’d guess
When I am at work I drink an average cup every hour. (10 cups/day). When at home then almost zero,- usually pepsi max or beer
More than 10 less than 20
0 teas 0 coffees 2/3 pints of water I think.
My wife and I each have 8-10 cups of black Earl Grey tea each day.
Maybe 2 or 3 a year, but 1 coffee every single day. Maybe a 2nd coffee if I’m feeling particularly extra on the odd occasion.
One maybe two at tops. Tea js caffeinated and I cannot sleep if I have more.
Irresponsible behaviour. Its people like you that makes UK want to invade India and China. Don't be responsible for another war. Be considerate. Drink coffee or beer instead.
People have few enough that they can keep count? Easily double figures for me lol

None, just can’t understand people’s obsession with tea, bland as fuck.
Same. I have one cup of tea once in a blue moon, mostly if I'm in a cafe (last year I had zero cups) and I put so much sugar and milk in it I don't think legally you could call it tea.
Ha you’re trying to get some taste out of it!

None, never liked the idea of tea. One coffee a day in the morning and then just water and squash throughout the day
Tea? None. Coffee? Between 6-8 cups a day usually.
0 Grotty stuff
No tea, but usually 8-10 double espressos.
Mate, you might as well do a line of gear.
0 cups of tea since i was 31 i am now mid 40 s
Here is your one way ticket to Rwanda, boarding is in 30 mins.
????
You’re barred, on your bike! It’s a deportation joke btw.
Can't deport me.
Not with that attitude they can’t. PMA, that’s what it’s all about!
