Feeling down? Have a cup of tea.
Catching up with a friend? Stick on the kettle.
Mid-afternoon slump? A cupán tae will sort that right out.
Our day pretty much revolves around when we'll get our next cup and as a nation, we are obsessed with that solitary teabag, the boiling water and as Mrs Doyle herself would put it, "the thrill of adding the milk and watching it settle for a moment".
Here's all the proof that we're obsessed with that cuppa cha!

We're Actually Offended When People Don't Make It Right
Nothing says betrayal that when a trusted friend makes a hames of your tea. It's grey, there's too much milk, there's not enough sugar ... I thought we were mates??
Nothing's More Tragic Than A Forgotten Cup
Is there a sadder sight that a forgotten cuppa? A cup of tea that never lived out it's dream of being drank? We think not.
the only heartbreak i know is remembering my cup of tea and it being too cold to drink :(
