Him: *gives her a styrofoam cup
Her: *uses styrofoam cup
Him: First mistake, you used a styrofoam cup

[lebensschueler]

Biggest mistake everyone is guilty of: not wearing safety goggles while making tea

[hellisotherpeople]

Mom : Why are you wearing a lab coat and science glasses and gloves in the kitchen?

Me : I'm making tea.

This video has changed my life. I could've never fathomed that the longer you leave the tea bag in the hot water, the better the tea. I have drank this new tea for a few months, and my IQ has skyrocketed and I have received a promotion at work. My metabolism has improved and a six pack has appeared on my belly without even going to the gym! I can't thank you enough BBC!

Summary of the video:
1. Use a mug, not Styrofoam cup.
2. Use filtered water, not hard water.
3. Let your tea brew 5 minutes before drinking.

I have been making tea correctly my entire life, wearing eye protection each and every time

How British are you? “I’m a tea scientist”

[novacolonel]

This is the first time ever I've heard of using a styrofoam cup for tea. Also, love his smugness in the end. Lovely!

"Here make your tea in this styrofoam cup"
*makes tea
"No wrong"
"Why??"
"You made it in a styrofoam cup"

Who would have thought, that a tea bag that is in the water for longer, would produce a stronger taste as opposed to a tea bag that is in there for 30 sec. Thanks BBC for this revolutionary idea!!!

As a chemist, I'm astounded that the "tea" scientist mentioned nothing about temperature. Too high of a temperature will extract out some of the astringent tannic acids found in the tea leaves and make the tea taste terrible.

I have been drinking tea by swallowing the tea leaf follow with hot water pouring in to my mouth. Thanks to BBC, now I know how to drink tea correctly

[plateoffrogs]

Who the hell drinks tea from a styrofoam cup

[ageary]

Making TEA always make sure you wear safety knew I was doing something wrong.

[turtleface]

Tea making expert is probably the most British job I've ever heard of.

[Bananamattcrunch]

I always thought if you left a teabag long enough, it’d turn back into tasteless plain water. Thanks BBC for the clarification!

[phoebeel]

Only British people would put such dramatic music in the background of a video about tea hahahaha

[ytqypbf]

Her: That's the same color as my mug at home.
Him: I know.
Her:

[rutinerad]

Not sure why YouTube recommended this, definitely not my cup of tea.

[mackenzieallen]

I want this man to follow me around making subtle flavor improvements to my life
