Tea. Today, it is one of the most, if not the most, popular drinks in the UK, and this has obviously not been lost on TV writers. To an American, it may seem like massive quantities of tea are consumed in the average British Series. In fact, the number of cups of tea drunk is often quite normal in Britain, though even the Brits can exaggerate. Whenever a British character appears in an American series, they will invariably a) drink tea, and b) describe at great length how wonderful it is compared to coffee — that is, if the character has heard of coffee before coming to the United States. In fact, the mere act of drinking tea automatically marks one as British. In real life, coffee is quite popular in the U.K., with standard black tea consumption declining in favour of coffee, although it's being bounced back by the proliferation of bubble tea, green tea, and herbal tea. However, these characters typically drink tea from an ornate china set, whereas in real life, such things are reserved for special occasions. Most Brits will typically make their tea using a tea bag in a mug. In fact, there's a dying tradition of keeping a set of "best china" that's never to be used unless the King should suddenly turn up for a visit. Incidentally, a telling but confusing detail about the importance of tea in the UK is that the evening meal is called "tea" in some dialects. So if someone spends almost an hour in the kitchen making tea and the result is pork chops, it isn't a case of confusion on their part. Also, this is not to be confused with high tea and afternoon tea which are similar to each other in involving cakes and other sweet things but also slightly different. You may have a cup of tea with your tea. There are historical reasons as to why the term tea covers numerous things but that's best explained by The Other Wiki. The great British author George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Homage to Catalonia) was an avid tea drinker, even going so far as to write an article on how to make "A Nice Cup Of Tea"; Douglas Adams also wrote one. In general, the typical British attitude to tea is nicely summed up here. The British love of tea has also carried over to other Commonwealth nations, such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and to a lesser extent Canada, but this has less representation in popular culture. Compare with Must Have Caffeine, Asians Love Tea. See Tea and Tea Culture for info about tea and the world's Real Life tea drinking habits, including proof that the British love for tea is Freakier Than Fiction. Sometimes overlaps with Tea Is Classy, especially when a Quintessential British Gentleman indulges in tea as a sign of his sophistication. May also overlap with Calming Tea, if used to soothe someone in a state of agitation. |

Tea makes several prominent appearances in Sherlock, although Sherlock does drink coffee in his first appearance. Like most Brits, John has a favourite mug, with the Royal Army Medical Corps logo on it. In the "The Blind Banker" episode, a client makes Chinese tea with hundred-year-old tea pots, and it becomes an important plot point that the antique pots have to be used regularly. In "A Scandal in Belgravia", John and Sherlock drink tea at Buckingham Palace with Mycroft and a client he is introducing to them. Mycroft is "mother", and Sherlock makes a joke about Mycroft's Self-Promotion To Parent. In "The Hounds of Baskerville", John sardonically suggests that he and Sherlock can arrive at a top-secret military base and be greeted with "Come on in, kettle's just boiled." In "The Reichenbach Fall", Moriarty and Sherlock drink tea while discussing crime and genius. Notably, this is the only time they're seen using "the best china" - getting it out of the cupboard is incredibly dramatic. | |

In webseries The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, a Setting Update of the Gothic novel, set in Vancouver in the new tens, Jane mentions in her very first video that she drinks tea a lot. She says she's probably made of Earl Grey, camomile and mint. Possibly nod back to the original novel where Jane Eyre is a proper English governess. | |

In the Imperial Radch series, tea is the Radchaai Galactic Superpower's drink of choice, and Radchaai are seen to complain about places outside the empire that don't have tea or have a different drink of the same name.

Tea is drunk relatively frequently in Mix Beer With Liquor And You Will Get Sicker. Most significantly when Lauchlan starts losing control of his emotions, the first thing Corbin does is to go and make him a strong cup of tea. Lauchlan still has his breakdown, but the tea is much appreciated. | |

Important to the good creatures of Redwall, particularly the Big Eater hares. Technically it's peppermint tea, since they're in Medieval Stasis, but it's close enough. Basil Stag Hare actually disappears shortly before an important skirmish to set the tea brewing for when the captives are rescued, much to Matthias' annoyance. It could be real tea anyway; the Redwallers have been seen to use potatoes, sugar, nutmeg, and a few other things that aren't native to medieval Europe. | |

In the pilot episode for The Rat Patrol, "The Chase of Fire Raid", Jack Moffitt, the British sergeant who has just been reassigned to the Rat Patrol, asks permission of the squad's American leader, Sgt. Sam Troy, to "brew up" tea for himself. Troy tells him to go ahead, and to shave off some of the TNT to start the fire with as it burns so hot. Moffitt says diffidently, "Great booster for the morale, tea—even under the most difficult circumstances," and offers to make a cup for Troy as sort of an olive branch to smooth over an earlier disagreement. Troy politely declines (in a tone that implies he can't stand the stuff, but he's not saying so). | |

In one Bernice Summerfield novel, a planetoid has just been invaded by the Fifth Axis. The aliens are being deported or put in concentration camps. Some of the good guys seemed to have turned traitor. The main character's half-alien son is in hiding, and the planetoid's omniscient chess master, Braxiatel, is unable to figure out how this happened. So this conversation happens between them: | |

Ice Cold in Alex: The Mole first comes under suspicion when the ambulance stops for the night and they set about getting a brew on, because he's completely hopeless at making an improvised hotplate with a steel ammo can full of sand and some petrolnote The idea being that the fuel soaks into the sand until saturated, and when an ignition source is applied the sand acts like a wick and the fuel burns off slowly, which is something that every British or Commonwealth soldier is taught in Basic and should be able to do by rote after a few months serving on the North African front. | |

The Victorian Way: Mrs Crocombe works as a cook/chef at the estate of Lord and Lady Braybrooke called Audley End House in Essex in the 1880s. In "How to Make a Cup of Tea - The Victorian Way", Mrs Crocombe says that everyone at Audley End enjoys a good cup of tea and that even Lady Braybrooke makes her own tea. She then presents the most proper way of brewing a pot of tea, served in a cup with milk and sugar. This way it is prepared for her and other servants, so it was served in less expensive china and from cheaper Indian tea leaves. | |

It comes up a bit in the Harry Potter series. The Golden Trio usually have tea when they visit Hagrid. Dumbledore's drink of choice, however, seems to be hot chocolate. The trio drink tea more and more as they get older (when they're kids, they drink pumpkin juice), and Professor Umbridge even attempts to feed Harry truth serum using tea. Harry winces at how much milk Umbridge puts in her tea. In the last book, Dudley leaves a cup of tea for Harry as a peace offering. Harry and Cho go to a tea house on their first (only) date. Ron mentions that his mother offers to make tea when someone's upset. (She is shown later serving tea to an unhappy Tonks.) When it looks like Mrs. Weasley is about to become very angry, Harry suggests to his friends that maybe they should go out for tea. Also, tea and tea leaves feature prominently in Professor Trelawney's Divination lessons. | |

Dirk Gently: The pilot episode features the camera regularly hovering over the cup of tea. Like everything else in the series, it becomes significant later on - a) Dirk missed an important clue because he dropped a biscuit into his cup and was busy fishing it out, and b) the old lady whose cat disappearing drove the plot claimed to have poisoned the tea of all the other characters so they'll run to the hospital and she can die in peace. In a later episode, after Dirk and Macduff have had a falling out, Dirk's first "gesture of forgiveness" is to accept Macduff's apology and demand he make the tea. | |

Stargirl: as a Brit, The Shade loves tea. Unfortunately, the only diner in town serves "Orange Pekoe" tea, which the Shade finds atrocious. After choosing to stay in Blue Valley, he trains the waitress to make a perfect cup of tea, which takes her "only" 40 or so tries (the last cup she brings him that he finally approves is visibly shaking from her being so nervous). Even Starman is impressed. | |

In the obligatory Whateley Universe example, all the East Asian characters (even those who only look Asian as a result of their mutation or magical transformation) love their tea. Team Kimba now has a weekly tea party every Sunday, where they relax, drink tea, and just chat about stuff. It seems to be proving quite therapeutic, which isn't terribly surprising considering the wringers they all regularly get put through. |

Discworld: In Interesting Times with the Agatean (Fantasy Counterpart Culture of China and Japan) tea ceremony — "it takes three hours, but you can't hurry a good cuppa". Towards the end of the book, Cohen suggests a quicker and more British ceremony. "It goes 'Tea up, luv. Milk? Sugar? Doughnut? Want another one?'" [1] There's a great exchange in Carpe Jugulum where Granny Weatherwax, having just been bitten by vampires, is tied to a bed and severely feverish. Hodgesaargh the falconer's optimistic response: "Best to face her with a cup of tea inside you, then." (He then uses Granny's fever to boil the tea.) A cup of tea is instrumental in defeating the book's vampires. Tea is a fundamental part of witch culture, with the roles of The Hecate Sisters being defined by it: the Maiden makes the tea, the Mother pours it (as in the British phrase "I'll be mother") and the Other One drinks it. In Unseen Academicals, Juliet is apparently not very good at making tea (or at most housework in general, except standing around and looking pretty). "The tea was a brown colour characteristic of tea, and usually the only tea-like characteristic of tea made by Juliet." The Ankh-Morpork City Watch apparently favour a brew akin to British "builder's tea" (strong, cheap and in large quantities), and Sam is horrified when his wife, Lady Sybil, ignorantly but well-meaningly cleans out years of built-up residue from the Watch-house tea urn — apparently an act of sacrilege. The subtleties of that are probably not apparent to a non-British readership. According to stereotype, the upper class version of tea is a fairly insipid, pale brew made in a silver teapot which is kept scrupulously clean, whereas lower-class tea is a powerful, strongly-flavoured, strongly-coloured drink with hair on its chest, made in a pot which is never, ever cleaned out (used tea leaves are rinsed out, but that is all) and contains years' worth of encrusted tannin deposits, which are left in there on purpose because it makes the tea taste better than a shiny clean pot. The debate over whether one should maintain the pot in a pristine or an encrusted state is another British tea-drinking controversy. (Proponents of the latter will sometimes say you should be able to get a reasonable brew without adding tea leaves at all.) Comes up in Monstrous Regiment, which is set in Borogravia, a country ruled by a now dead duchess, who has some aspects which mirror Queen Victoria, and the army dresses in uniforms very much like British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. In Thief of Time one of the things Lu-Tze learned when he left Enlightenment Country (Fantasy Counterpart Culture Tibet) to discover the ways of Ankh-Morpork (i.e. the West) is that he much prefers his tea without yak butter in it. |

The most high-profile subversion of "the British drink tea" is James Bond, who (in the books) repeatedly states that he dislikes tea and prefers Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee (a high-quality coffee that he drinks when martinis are not available). He has mentioned that he favours Yin Hao (the highest traditional grade of jasmine tea, which fits his character of preferring the finer things in life). | |

Captain Ann grasps her teacup firmly in her fist, showing her earthy, aggressive nature, while prissy, ladylike Commander Mary grasps her cup daintily in her fingertips, pinky finger raised high. And then tea spills, nakedness ensues, and sex follows — it's That Kind Of Series. | |

The Spiffing Brit: He invites his viewers to have a nice, warm cup of Yorkshire Tea in every video. However, in his Age of Empires III video, he remarked that for the hot 30°C summer he would permit cold iced tea just this once. He had even done a tier list of various teas. Not surprisingly, the Yorkshire varieties make up the higher tiers, with Yorkshire Gold making the S tier. Inversely, he did not hold a high opinion of American iced teas or Lancashire tea, putting them in the bottom tier alongside Bovril, which isn't a tea but a concentrated beef broth that can be boiled in a similar manner. |

Black Butler is set in England, so you expect it. Unfortunately, Ciel's love of sweet demands that his butler stave off a diabetic coma in some cases, with tea. EVERY MEAL has tea. Even when his host, his family, and Sebastian were drinking wine, guess what Ciel was drinking? On the other hand, he's 13, so him not partaking in the wine drinking makes somewhat sense (in the 1800 they were not that strict with kids having a sip). It actually gives a nice characterization of Ciel; he knows his boundaries as a child (no wine) but he is more mature than his 13 years... also he's very conscious and proud of his status as nobleman and head of his family, speaking of a good chunk of traditionalism, thus him drinking tea (instead of some sweet juice) when others drink wine makes suddenly a lot sense. |

A one-off joke in Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell has the narrator mention an officer in Wellington's army teaching some recently recruited Native Americans to drink tea, and remarks that he was apparently under the impression that once one learned to take tea properly, all other customs of Britishness would come naturally. | |

Mr. Hartley's response to every crisis is to put the kettle on...until the power goes out and he can no longer do so.

It's even a plot point in the film. After pining for tea for an entire adventure, he's treated to a massive smorgasbord by the interdimensional mice, and has eyes only for the cup of tea. The food turns out to be heavily drugged, but if there was anything in the tea it isn't strong enough to put Arthur out of action. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: English doctor Julian Bashir seems to be rather fond of the stuff, which he likes to have with scones and jam for breakfast. He also frequently orders Tarkalean tea from the Replimat. Unlike TNG, however, most characters drink a Klingon coffee drink called a raktajino. In "Far Beyond the Stars," Julian is a science fiction writer in The '50s, and is unimpressed when (recently invented) iced tea powder is demonstrated for him. In one episode, the Cardassian resident Garak had the audacity to criticise Earl Grey tea, saying "I'd like to meet that fellow Earl Grey and tell him a thing or two about tea leaves." Cardassians seem to prefer red leaf tea and Cardassian characters are seen drinking it in different episodes. |

Girl Genius: Tea is all over the place, probably as a case of Author Appeal. Most characters are from continental Europe or parts unknown, but Ardsley Wooster, Gil's British manservant and the 'verse's version of James Bond knows how Gil takes his tea. The print-novel adaptations make his expertise even more explicit; he's able to serve newcomer Agatha her tea exactly how she prefers without having to ask. There's also one page in which a room full of Brits all spontaneously leave to get tea, preplexing the non-British characters. | |

There's a great exchange in Carpe Jugulum where Granny Weatherwax, having just been bitten by vampires, is tied to a bed and severely feverish. Hodgesaargh the falconer's optimistic response: "Best to face her with a cup of tea inside you, then." (He then uses Granny's fever to boil the tea.) A cup of tea is instrumental in defeating the book's vampires. Tea is a fundamental part of witch culture, with the roles of The Hecate Sisters being defined by it: the Maiden makes the tea, the Mother pours it (as in the British phrase "I'll be mother") and the Other One drinks it. |

In Being Human, it is mentioned that Annie has an annoying habit of fixing tea purely out of habit - she can't drink it so cups of the stuff are just left sitting around, so George can never find any empty mugs when he needs them. She does make coffee and other drinks though. | |

In an episode of M*A*S*H, Hawkeye gets upset that the British give their wounded tea...even when they have abdominal wounds, as this increases the chances of infection and death. Upon finding out, the British officer promises to stop the custom in his unit, though he adds that he would have had an easier time revoking anything other than the tea ration. | |

In fact, one of the minigames in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box involves brewing up different blends of tea using herbs found in certain puzzles and helping several people you come across by serving them their preferred tea. Finish this sidequest, and Layton receives the title of Tea Master. Said tea is given to people suffering from things like the chills, mild anxiety, forgetfulness, and in at least one case, thirst. | |

While it can hardly be called British in nature, it otherwise fits the trope: in the Subspace Emissary portion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Princess Peach decides to stop a fight (that is just beginning) between Fox and Sheik by offering them each a cup of tea. On top of the enemy's airship. And it works. (Or rather she offers one to Fox who, along with the camera, looks over to Sheik, who somehow already has a cup and is drinking it though her mask) | |

Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator uses tea-sipping as a gameplay mechanic; each player has a tiny pool of phrases (in addition to the main community pool of hamsters and elderberries) to add some spice in their insult. And by tiny we mean two. But each turn you can sip one cup of tea to re-roll your pool, even if you've picked insults from it already. | |

Jeeves and Wooster: Bertie Wooster can get pretty cranky if deprived of his tea, which he refers to as "the life-saving" or "the vital oolong". The stereotype gets lampshaded in the story "The Aunt and the Sluggard" when Bertie, who's staying in New York, serves tea to his friend's visiting aunt. She's disgusted by it and can't comprehend his enthusiasm: "I don't understand a word you say. You're English, aren't you?" |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Tea is one the very few foodstuffs that England doesn't screw up. Overlapping with Asians Love Tea, Hong Kong explicitly mentions learning about afternoon "high tea" from England, and the local silk-stocking milk tea is historically inspired by British tea.note On the other hand, Hong Kong is also backed with traditional Chinese teas (in yum cha, i.e. morning dim sum with tea). The series also implicitly deconstructs this trope with historical allusions to the Opium Warnote (China's Verbal Tic when speaking to England specifically is ahen, which means "opium") and Hong Kong's very existence as a character. |

Jusis Albarea, being a member of one of Erebonia's Four Great Houses, is sometimes seen drinking tea during free time.

In Rocky and Bullwinkle's "Peabody's Improbable History" segment about Lawrence of Arabia, he dresses up in standard Bedouin garb, but then manages to expose himself as a British spy just by saying: Peabody's used this one a few times; when helping the Marquis of Queensberry get into an actual fight so he could understand it well enough to create his set of rules for modern boxing, Peabody, at tea time, orders a cup of tea for himself and Sherman and a cup of coffee for the Marquis, which sends the waiter into an uncontrollable fit of rage. Apparently calling it a matter of national pride is a considerable understatement. |

Father Ted is a rare television example of the Irish fondness for tea, Ireland being the country with the second highest per capita consumption (after only Turkey). Mrs. Doyle has the famous catchphrase 'will you have a cup of tea father', always insists (even to the point of threatening) that said person should have a cup, and almost has a breakdown when Ted buys her a tea making machine. That's not so much the tea itself as the making of the tea. Including but not limited to "sheep tea" (That is, tea made for sheep, not made from or using sheep) for the burping sheep who was living in the parish after being scared by stories of the Beast. Her desire to make tea is often quite alarming. Once, Father Ted politely declined another cup of tea and moved his hand over the top of the cup, and she proceeded to pour fresh hot tea into it anyway. She stays up all night every night at the bottom of the stairs in case anyone happens to wake up and want tea. In one episode, a decorator comes to the house and Mrs. Doyle offers him tea. The decorator says that he is highly allergic to tea and if he drinks it, there is a 70% chance he will die. She tells him she'll make him a cup anyway "just in case [he] change[s his] mind". Another episode sees seedy inebriate Father Jack replaced by an obnoxious young priest with a fondness for EXTREMELY LOUD DANCE MUSIC. Undeterred by her inability to be heard over the racket, Mrs. Doyle shows up to offer him tea armed with a set of flash cards. Father Jack himself is not fond of tea, presumably because it is not an alcoholic beverage. |

In Pleasant Goat Fun Class: Travel Around the World episode 16, the goats travel to the UK to search for a treasure with the help of Sherlock Holmes. The treasure, located in Big Ben, turns out to be a bunch of teabags, which Sherlock Holmes immediately takes a fancy to. The gang then has tea with him, which is followed by a new segment where Tibbie explains to Paddi the significance of tea to the British. | |

This exchange in "'Cor! What A Picture" after Greenback turns Penfold into a kung fu assassin and DM sends him to get him some tea: |

The trope picture is of Adrian Raven of El Goonish Shive, who is certainly British-themed if not actually British (he's half-immortal, making him an elf and was born "several centuries ago" in a deliberately undefined but vaguely medieval-looking Here There Were Dragons period, making him older than the United Kingdom itself, and maybe even England. And for that matter, it's not even really specified that this took place in the British Isles). | |

Doctor Who: When the Doctor was UNIT's scientific advisor, no one was allowed in his personal laboratory unescorted except for the Brigadier's personal staff... and the tea lady. "The Time Monster": The Doctor manages to jam the Master's evil invention (called TOMTIT) with a machine made from a variety of objects including a cup of hot tea that uses Brownian Motion as a random number generator. "The Talons of Weng-Chiang": Professor Litefoot attempts to example the complex Victorian/Edwardian rules of etiquette surrounding tea drinking to Leela, who gets terribly confused. "Shada": Professor Chronotis seems incapable of going five minutes without putting on the kettle. At one point, with a Time Lord relic missing, his greatest concern is that he's run out of milk. Tea also gets an end-of-story thumbs-up from the 5th Doctor in "The Awakening". Tea is mentioned in the final lines of the series' original run: In the opening shot of the TV Movie, Seven is stating his Opening Narration while enjoying some tea from a fine china cup. "The Christmas Invasion": Jackie decides that hiding in the TARDIS from the current alien invasion is an excellent time and place for a "nice cup of tea", prompting Rose to mutter sarcastically about tea being "the solution to everything". The Doctor is revived from his post-regeneration coma by the smell of spilled tea. Or possibly, the tea was being evaporated against a piece of hot metal in the TARDIS, and was being breathed into his lungs. "The Sound of Drums": When our heroes get to Martha's flat, Jack makes everyone tea while they discuss their next move. "Victory of the Daleks": The British Army has a force of Daleks in World War II, and what use do they find for them? Serve the tea, of course (alright, and to use as an unstoppable superweapon, which is almost as useful). In "The Lodger", the Doctor proceeds to cure Craig of an alien poison with tea. Kind of, anyway. There's tea in it, but nobody in their right mind would ever call it tea. "The God Complex": Rita jokes about it, stating that the British deal with trauma by drinking tea and tutting. In Series 8, several deceased characters find themselves in what appears to be a peaceful heaven with an oddly dressed Mary Poppins Expy offering them a cup of tea and calming advice. The odd woman in the Mary Poppins getup is the Mistress, and the "heaven" turns out to be a particularly twisted scheme to get her favourite frenemy's attention. "The Witch's Familiar": The Doctor steals Davros' chair and is shot by dozens of Daleks. When the flash subsides, he is unharmed and drinking a cup of tea. In "World Enough and Time" the first thing Mr Razor does on meeting Bill is offer tea. "Arachnids in the UK": The Doctor is downbeat about having to say goodbye to her accidental companions... until Yaz invites her to tea at her place, whereupon she instantly perks up. Though that could have been because it was Yaz who was asking. |

Asterix In Britain reveals that tea was actually brought to the British Isles in 50 BC, by Asterix. Before that, the Britons are shown interrupting their battles to take their customary mid-afternoon hot water break (with milk and sugar). Asterix used tea as Bottled Heroic Resolve when he couldn't supply the Britons with genuine magic potion, and Chief Mykingdomforanos had it declared the national drink. | |

In Freedom Dies With Me, it's Traveller note technically British, though in-universe he calls himself a United Islander, in the same style as the continents in Sonic Unleashed who enjoys a spot of tea. He even carries a bag of Earl Grey teabags on his person, and shares a cup with Torque. The reason given as to why is because, as a traveller of universes, tea he likes is sometimes hard to come by, and some of the teas in other universes get...weird. Such as teas in every colour of the rainbow, including blue. The local tea, Red Leaf tea, is said to repulse him. | |

David Mitchell, as always, pokes a hole in this by pointing out that most people only ever use their teapot once a month when they want to feel civilised and if they didn't wash it out, it would go disgustingly moldy. They again comment on this when they're discussing using the boiling point of water to determine your altitude: |

James May, of Top Gear fame but co-presenting another show in which he joins Oz Clarke on a drinking holiday thinly disguised as a factual miniseries about wine in France, spends about 15 minutes of one episode looking for a British expat just to get his fix of a good cup of tea, and several minutes explaining exactly how to make it. Then in the followup series Drink To Britain, in which he and Oz search for the drink that stands for modern Britain, they conclude after a month of touring Britain and liberally sampling everything alcoholic it has to offer, that the drink is in fact... tea. He also spent a good bit of time arguing with the crew of James May's Man Lab about whether the milk should be added before or after the tea. | |

British Richard from The Case Files of Jeweler Richard is exceptionally picky about his tea, importing the leaves from Sri Lanka and teaching Seigi how to make his preferred royal milk tea before literally anything else after hiring him. He also refers to bottled tea as "dead" tea and won't drink it, ever. | |

It came about because Mary was annoyed Uncle Albert's contagious laughing disease might make them miss tea time, and thus just made the tea set and table float.

The Prisoner (1967): Number Six demonstrates the proper way to make tea as an excuse to empty his drugged cup, and to pull a switcheroo on the Village operative trying to drug him. In several of the early episodes Number Two or one of his minions offers tea to Number Six in an interrogation scene. "How many sugars do you take?" is one of the questions they want answered, as a running theme. It is possible that Irish American actor Patrick McGoohan was having a joke at the expense of the British and their Civil Service. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles is fairly fond of tea, but has been known to violate people's expectations and drink coffee instead. Xander accuses him of destroying a perfectly good stereotype. "Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense." Highlighting Giles drinking coffee is an in-joke. Before Anthony Stewart Head played Giles, he was widely recognised in Britain as "The guy from the Gold Blend coffee adverts." He also appeared in America in ads for Taster's Choice instant coffee. Spike, also British, still manages to mock Giles about tea after a vicious fight with vampires: "Oh, poor Watcher, did your life flash before your eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea?" |

The European-raised Edgeworth in Ace Attorney enjoys tea so much he's even got a tea-drinking sprite in Investigations. He also owns an expensive tea set and a large collection of tea leaves in his office. Curiously, in the original Japanese version of the games Edgeworth was actually raised in America. The world might never know where he picked up his tea drinking habits from. The spin off game The Great Ace Attorney largely takes place in Victorian London and so features a lot of tea drinking. Teacups are even used as evidence in one case. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Negi Springfield likes tea, being Welsh and everything. He likes it so much that he and Fate almost came to blows over how tea ought to be served, with Fate calling Negi "A Tasteless Englishman". Evangeline is (probably) British, judging by her name and age, she's almost certainly Scottish and from the era before Scotland came under English dominion, and Scotland is technically in Britain, and one of two members of the Tea Ceremony Society (the other being Chachamaru.) By her clan name Evangeline would be a Scot from the area now known as Dumfries, interestingly she would also have been born well before the popularising of tea. |

Subverted in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Captain Aubrey and Dr. Maturin are both inveterate coffee drinkers, and Maturin goes so far as to describe tea as "that insipid wash." Given that the only tea they would have had at sea would have been already soggy, salty, Royal Navy issue leaves, then they were probably right. Coffee beans last longer, and the Royal Navy could also make a substitute by burning bread and then pouring hot water on the ash. They have been seen enjoying tea while ashore, however—in the first book Maturin even says, "Tea would make me very happy." |

On Merlin, Merlin and Gaius drink tea, which many claimed was an anachronism; however, the word 'tea' can be applied to infusions which aren't made with tea leaves, so it's best to assume that what they're drinking is made with some other herb. Arguably acceptable as a Translation Convention, but for the record there is an English word (tisane) that more properly means "herbal infusion beverage of any source". | |

Professor Layton enjoys his tea. In fact, one of the minigames in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box involves brewing up different blends of tea using herbs found in certain puzzles and helping several people you come across by serving them their preferred tea. Finish this sidequest, and Layton receives the title of Tea Master. Said tea is given to people suffering from things like the chills, mild anxiety, forgetfulness, and in at least one case, thirst. This receives some lampshading in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. In the first special episode, the five main characters all reunite and end up getting through a lot of tea. The last couple of times, Phoenix and Maya start to become uncomfortable with the amount of tea that they've had and end up counting 17 cups of tea altogether. This prompts Maya to reference the two's home series and Phoenix to caution Maya against the use of the reference. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Captain Jean-Luc Picard likes his "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot". A strange choice considering he's French. But he is played by the second most British actor in the world: Patrick Stewart. Funnily enough, in the finale he gets called out on his ordering style by Data's British maid. "Well of course it's hot! What do you want in it?" The maid, unlike a replicator, does not need to be told what temperature to properly serve tea at, thank you very much. In the novel Ship of the Line, Picard notes that it sounds funny when Riker is the one saying it and admits that it's what he always orders. He muses that one day he might just go wild and order "hot Grey tea Earl". Then he adds that "the poor computer'll have a stroke". |
