A cup of tea is the answer to everything in our house. Bad day at work? Stick the kettle on. Good day at work? Celebratory cuppa. Just got engaged? Forget the champagne, let’s have a cuppa. Roof leaking water into the attic in the middle of a cost of living crisis? Set cups up - we’ll have a brew while we ring an emergency roofer.
Just to let you know - all of the above are genuine situations that have happened in our tea-obsessed household in the last eight weeks.
Exclusively, we drink Yorkshire Tea, and I’ve fiercely defended why the Harrogate-based brew bags are the best on more than one occasion here on the Manchester Evening News. Doing so once earned me a giant sack of tea bags, a mini Yorkshire Tea truck and travel mug, which I treasure with some of my most prized possessions.
