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

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

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!

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

Mom : Why are you wearing a lab coat and science glasses and gloves in the kitchen? Me : I'm making tea.

How British are you? “I’m a tea scientist”
-
I always thought if you left a teabag long enough, it’d turn back into tasteless plain water. Thanks BBC for the clarification!
-
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

Who the hell drinks tea from a styrofoam cup
-
I have been making tea correctly my entire life, wearing eye protection each and every time
-
I want this man to follow me around making subtle flavor improvements to my life
-
British people: - Fun to watch. - Make me want to have a cup of tea, each time. - Have great sense of humor.
-
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.

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.

"The perfect cup of tea" Proceeds to make it from bagged, blended tea dust, but in a red mug instead of styrofoam This video felt like teaching table etiquette on a McDonald's takeout.
-
His proud of finally making a perfect cup of tea, that face with a smile in the end says it all.
-
Just eat the teabag for maximum flavour and antioxidants and coffein
-
Making TEA always make sure you wear safety Glasses.............I knew I was doing something wrong.
-
"So our brain is a huge factor for what we taste." I almost gave myself a concussion from the face palm.
-
Absolutely revolutionary 🤣 Next time, we will learn, that there are instructions printed on the tea boxes and that the tea tastes better if you follow them. mind-blowing
