Why a Cup of Tea is not just a Cup of Tea

My parents are big tea drinkers. Like me, they are British so it’s pretty much hard-wired into their DNA.
Tea-making facilities have a permanent place in their kitchen: kettle, tea pot and cosy, fridge below for milk and canisters alongside for tea. Beside them a row of mugs in age order right to left. When finished, you put your mug back in position ready for the next brew. If a mistake is made you can often identify the owner by the style of mug or the colour of the dregs in the bottom like a Pantone chart of taupey-brown.
