Just wanted to point out that where I come from in Birmingham (UK), the term "builders tea" refers to any tea which is made very strong, "so strong you can stand a spoon in it." Obviously the reference is to beefy builders who are so tough they can handle it being so strong, hence the term, "builders tea."
Actually the strongest tea (containing the most amount of theine) is the green one (brewing time: 3 minutes). The longer you brew your tea, it becomes weaker and only more bitter. 😀
Builders' Tea should be strong enough to climb out of the mug on its own. Regarding how much milk you should use: you can put in as much as you like, provided the top is off the carton for no more than 2 seconds.
A nice strong cup of Yorkshire tea, possibly one unheaped sugar, with a little milk, is a Work of Art. Brits possibly take tea for granted, but when someone makes a perfect cuppa, it would be rude not to praise it.
I drink Yorkshire tea but I don’t have sugar in my tea . The thought of Tea with 1 or even 2 sugars in it makes me feel grossed out I only drink Yorkshire Tea with Milk but no sugar When I was younger at age 7 I drank English Breakfast Tea I was only introduced to Yorkshire Tea 4 years ago
Hi Jade! I just want to thank you for your precious lessons and tips as they're all helping me to learn English faster and better. You're very nice too, which makes you a great teacher. Greetings from Italy! ;)
I'm Spanish was raised and educated in the United Kingdom and I drink 5 cups of PG Tips tea with fresh semi skimmed milk every single day of my life in Spain. Interestingly around 18th century Spain tea sets were in vogue in the upper classes (I've seen them in rich old peoples' houses), these days no one in Spain knows what I use my kettle for. The Ritz London is THE Place to drink tea.
Yes, I noticed that... you Spanish are similar though, with your fancy coffee sets and fancy coco sets. I went to the Ritz though and it didn't quite cut it for me... there is nothing like making your own, in your favourite mug.
FWIW, tea bags can be round, square or even a sort of pyramid shape. As a very general rule, they're most often square. And rather than being asked "Milk and sugar?", it's more likely that you'll be asked "How do you take it?" or "How do you like it?", with a typical response being something like "White with one", meaning you want milk and one spoonful of sugar.
This gal is doing an amazing job! It's not about correcting her on what she's saying or knowing the truth, you can do that with Google, but instead, she tells us how the average person perceives i.e. "the builder's tea". So it's a matter of perception of average people in the UK. In all countries, people know stuff that they only think they know or know wrong!
Jade, drinking tea was a habit of Portuguese ladies. It was introduced in England by Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II, in the 17th century. She also took Bombay and Tangiers in her dowry.
Oh yes!!!! Most of people, and all in England, don't know this, or they forgot many years ago, so, the problem is our, we don't know how to make the world remember many, many things, shame on....
you are amazing, great that you are back with us. What you are doing is one of those wonderful cornerstones to the people who strives to explore english culture.
i was working class, brought up in the midlands in England and was brought up drinking tea out of a cup and saucer poured from a teapot and that was not exclusive to upper classes, in the 60s and 70s most people all classes had cups and saucers and our sandwiches were jam or dripping, it wasn't really until the 80's that mugs came in. So you need to research your social history a little more
Your lessons are unique! I enjoy watching it despite knowing almost all the words It is good to know more about culture to understand language. Can you make a video about horse riding?
I use the crusts for bread pudding. Occasionally, I will put them in a food processor and make breadcrumbs - especially if they have come from ham sandwiches. Amazing how Yorkshire Tea has become a worldwide choice - I remember going with my great aunt for morning tea at Taylor's of Harrogate's cafe - of course you can still go to Betty's for a real Yorkshire afternoon tea - part of the same business.
Dear Jade:How lovely and funny the nostagical gals drinking the tea with their pinky nail pointing up to the sky whilst holding the tea pot and saucer!
Black tea is a gift from heaven. I love the blend of Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. Absolutely delicious. Finger sandwiches and scones are also welcome.
You are wearing my favourite clothing brand - AQUASCUTUM. I have Jasper Conran for Wedgwood dishes. I live in Canada but my grandmother was born in England - her grandfather was a tradesman in Mayfair. They lived and worked in South Audley Street across from Goode's china shop. Archard's jewellery shop at number 70 until 1890. True.
My absolute favorite drink in the world would be tea. There are so many styles and flavors, that I think there is a right tea for everybody. I prefer tea over coffee any time.😎
I'm an American barbarian. ;) I drink tea every morning, but I just microwave a Lipton's tea bag in a mug and then add milk and sugar. I love it, but I know its considered swill by the British (plus I'm doing it all wrong by microwaving it). Oh, and I love the "posh" demonstrations you included. :)
I've clicked Subscribe. Like your accent and pronunciation. And theatrical gestures while describing as well. Keep it up, and best regards from Warsaw, Pl.
Oh this Is what I miss the most from England: a hot cup of tea. I just loved it. I lived in London in 2007. I like the way you teach Jade. I'm myself an English as a Foreign language teacher , AND Everything I'm learning from you I'll teach it to them. Greetings from Venezuela South America.
I'm in California and I bought a box of Twinning English Breakfast Tea today at Walmart. I was curious as to how tea is properly done in the UK. Your video was extremely informative. Thanks. Now I just need some scones and digestive biscuits.
I really like to listen to you Jade, sweet voice and I feel like I'm in school again, but british. And I like it! 👍 You're cute when you're talking about tea. 😊
Probably the most important part in making lovely tea is the water, straight from the kettle and not a second later. Tetley i believe are the only tea bags to manufacture round tea bags, most others are square. I apologise if i sound like i am nit picking, but its crucial get this right. Tea is god !
Hello from the US. In Philadelphia, PA, Wanamakers had the " Crystal Tea Room." It was famous for pink, yellow, and lavender colors in the mayonnaise of the cucumber sandwiches.
I came across your channel by chance and I'm so glad I did! Thank you for teaching us so many things about your country and please keep the videos coming. I love the accent, by the way!
I have no interest in tea at all, yet your presentation is so interesting, humorous and yes, informative , I watched the whole thing. I wish I had teachers like you when I was in school. You make it interesting.
Interesting but I disagree that the use of tea leaves rather than tea bags is only for 'posh' teas. It does not have to be messy or inconvenient to use real tea (leaves) instead of tea bags (which usually contain low quality tea dregs). No true tea lover will use tea bags - and you needn't be 'posh' to be a tea lover. It is very easy to brew a pot of tea. Boil water, heat the pot, pour out the hot water, add tea and then hot water; let it steep for a couple of minutes. A strainer is really not necessary. A few leaves may enter the cup however they will settle to the bottom. Emptying the pot is hardly a herculean task. Since you are instructing foreigners, you might point out that dunking biscuits into tea is considered bad manners by many people.
As east African, tea with milk was a everyday excuse to gather around the family. In the morning before school and late in the evening. Most families had sets of expensive china mostly for decorative purposes but occasionally they'd be functional when a guest visits. Unfortunately these days we are too busy to enjoy tea instead we take everything to go.
Hello there Jade. This was such an informative video and I found it very humourous as well. You will recall the line in The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde where Jack says "Eh? Shropshire? Yes, of course. Hallo! Why all these cups? Why cucumber sandwiches? Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea?" I sometimes get an odd look when I ask for cucumber sandwiches at my local deli. But I think I am also allowed some reckless extravagance in one so middle-aged ;-,X
I like a lot your way of teaching. Your british accent that was hard to me to understand at first. I am very happy to see you again with that posstive pedagogical energy. And with that very good looking. A greetings from Tenerife, canary island.
In some way yes. Not physically talking. In some videos she has explained had some troubles as all of us have in our lives. And now I watch her in a very good looking and very energetic. And that makes me happy. Her videos have helped me too much. Thanks
In the old village of my parents, people love to drink tea. What is most surprising is no rules to drink tea. Just boil water in a kettle by adding tea leaves. After boiling, pour it into big size cup and drink it. Some villagers prefer sweet tea. So they add like four spoonful of sugar. Another way to take tea is to mixed cooked rice in the tea and eat it. Quite interesting because I did it too. But now I'm here learning British culture. 😊😂😂😂
I'd like to have my tea as in the old way, lady like to be precise. I just love everything related to tea culture. by the way Im having tea right now watching your videos. Thanks a lot for your videos
Did you know , by any chance, that was brought into England by Princess Catarina de Braçança, daughter of His Magesty The King João IV of Portugal, when she married King Charles II of England, around 1660? The Princess introduced the habit of drinking tea at any time during the day as she was used to in Portugal while living with her parents The King and Queen Of Portugal, back in the 17 century. Much later , in the XIX century The 7ª Duchess of Bedford introduced the "five o'clock tea in London.
Im half English and my mum has a Lil Hispanic on her side, tea was always in the house because my pops is a proud English lad, who loves tea so much he fell victim of no teeth 🦷🦷😅 I'm proud to be next in line because I love it as much as my pops 😆😆😆🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖💯💯💯
There are steel eggs where you put tea leaves just to avoid the mess with the strainer. Don't you use them in England? They are in use in Italy since decades.
Love the way you mimic the good old English ladies drinking their tea. 😄🍵
"Exploring" the world. Subtle.
hehehehehe
It's a positive way to view it. Even if it's coming from me, someone who grew up in an ex-colony.
@@denisesheehan9189 hehehe it was a good try ill give em A for effort
very British ;)
Smooth...lol
1:20 the most lovely way to teach english ever 😍

It's the same in Lancashire too

Your teaching style is very good. Thanks for your lessons.
Every time u explain how they did in old days,, u make me smile.....👍🏻🤠
The way you tell it, is brilliant and funny.I love it.
Some times it´s funny for me, but definitely, I love her :)

I was only introduced to Yorkshire Tea 4 years ago

Greetings from Italy! ;)
It was Catherine of Braganza the Portuguese wife of KIng Charles II. who introduced the five
o´clock tea ceremony in England.
Yes, of course, it's absolutely true!!!!
And the zone of Queen's in NYC🗽named in Her honor
Hands down! You’re astoundingly well informed.
Are you from Cornaheira?
P.S.: I think Queens (without apostrophe) is even a borough, one out of five in NYC.

I would agree with that but mugs were available well before the 1980's
I like your short lessons, and I also think you underestimate how funny you are enacting the English manner. :o) Good job, always!
Your lessons are unique! I enjoy watching it despite knowing almost all the words It is good to know more about culture to understand language. Can you make a video about horse riding?
Great Lesson! Very informative! Jade! I have been your fan since 2014! What a come back! Keep up the good work!
What a delicious and quite elegant tutorial!!!
I use the crusts for bread pudding. Occasionally, I will put them in a food processor and make breadcrumbs - especially if they have come from ham sandwiches.

I do like a bread pudding. Bread and butter pudding is great too, but it's a totally different beast of course.
Gracias, señorita Jade.
Su lenguaje corporal y los dibujos en el pizarrón me ayudan mucho para comprender la clase.
Good to see you´re alive and (I hope) well, adorable as always. I missed you.
Dear Jade:How lovely and funny the nostagical gals drinking the tea with their pinky nail pointing up to the sky whilst holding the tea pot and saucer!
"we've heard it so much nobody knows which is the right way you're meant to say it" LOL I love it!
Black tea is a gift from heaven.
I love the blend of Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. Absolutely delicious. Finger sandwiches and scones are also welcome.

The old lady drinking tea... You make me die laughing 🤣🤣🤣
I admire your teaching from southern side of Alps, from Slovenia!
I love the extemporaneous style. Very fun to watch.
Very nice lesson I would like to ask you kindly if you can teach about Sunday roast or another important English food with the recipes. Many thanks
I'm an American barbarian. ;) I drink tea every morning, but I just microwave a Lipton's tea bag in a mug and then add milk and sugar. I love it, but I know its considered swill by the British (plus I'm doing it all wrong by microwaving it). Oh, and I love the "posh" demonstrations you included. :)

The crust of the bread is not used to feed the birds, it is dried, ground and sold as breading. At least, that's what we do in France.
You are so genuine!
I came across your channel by chance and I'm so glad I did!
Thank you for teaching us so many things about your country and please keep the videos coming. I love the accent, by the way!

We used to have tea exactly like you explained with teapot milk jug with strainer and cup and saucer.
As east African, tea with milk was a everyday excuse to gather around the family. In the morning before school and late in the evening. Most families had sets of expensive china mostly for decorative purposes but occasionally they'd be functional when a guest visits.
Unfortunately these days we are too busy to enjoy tea instead we take everything to go.
Wow,I love British culture
The lesson which impriovisation, to get always memorise and rich events for remember historical development mankind.

You're so funny, I learn and laugh, thanks a lot!!!!
What you do is pour the tea into your saucer, put your biscuit in it and slurp it up through a straw. It's what we all do in England, honest! 😁
I had afternoon tea at my house on 14th February and my mom made the tea from tea leaves for the first time
Hi Jade, thank you for your lessons..
Muy hermosa tu clase sobre el té. Estoy aprendiendo inglés y eres muy dulce a la hora de explicar.

Thank You ☕
There are steel eggs where you put tea leaves just to avoid the mess with the strainer. Don't you use them in England? They are in use in Italy since decades.
