A new survey has revealed the nation's perfect tea colour, with nearly a quarter of Brits agreeing on the ideal colour brew. A study by Tombola created a 'Tealux' chart showing tea colours from 'right' to 'wrong', according to a survey of 1,000 Brits.
The colour Tombola is calling the ultimate shade scored 24 per cent of the votes, meaning nearly a quarter of Brits see this as the perfect tea shade. An equal blend of tea and milk - edging towards a slightly darker shade and a stewed tea bag, was found to be the best way of making a cuppa.
Meanwhile, of those surveyed, only four (0.4 per cent) opted for the shade Tombola is affectionately calling 'The Worst Brew' as their tea colour of choice. This shade is one of the darkest tea options, as you can see in the graph below, with only a dribble of milk to accompany the teabag.
