Before my Dad retired, his job took him to a lot of military establishments. He used to refer to "standard army-issue tea" - that is, white-two-sugars. Apparently it was habitually served that way because "everyone" took it like that.

Earlier today, making tea for [livejournal.com profile] hjalfi, I observed that my default assumption is white-no-sugar. I have no idea of the prevalence of various tea-preferences, so figure I need a quick poll:

I in no way promise to remember this next time I make you tea, by the way.

[Poll #1227748]


And yes, tea-tasting. For those who were interested, I know I haven't sorted anything out yet. Life's a bit fraught at present.

I should add that although I claimed not to issue instructions, I do attempt to intervene if I observe someone leaving it to stew in the mug for (what seems to me) excessively long.

Wrong! If I drink tea made the way you like it I can feel my teeth peeling...
