GLOBAL TEA ETIQUETTE Betore you sip maté and genmai cha with the locals, make sure you know the intricate rules of the game. By Nikki Goldstein JAPAN While it is not offensive to add milk and sugar to your tea, you should taste it in its purest form before doing so. ENGLAND After stirring, place your spoon on the saucer behind the cup, its handle pointing the same way as the cup's. ARGENTINA Don't use the straw (called a bombilla) to stir maté-the leaves floating on top should stay dry TM MOROCCtExpress thanks When drinking tea with a shopkeeper, don't talk prices-or business of any kind-until the glasses are emptied. CHINA Express thanks to your server by tapping your index and middle fingers lightly on the table twice. INDIA It is considered polite to decline an offer of tea, at first. Accept only after letting your host insist. America: Do whatever the f--- you want because America Does anyone actually follow that ettiquette in England? Because my understanding oftea ettiquette in England is: OFFER YOUR GUEST TEA AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE - GIVE THEM THE LARGER MUG, BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN HAVE MORE TEA IN IT AND MORE TEA IS BETTER OFFER THEM MORE TEA AS SOON AS THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR NUG OF TEA, BECAUSE MORE TEA IS BETTER IF SOMEONE LOOKS STRESSED, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE LOOKS UPSET, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE LOOKS TIRED, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE HAS JUST COME IN FROM THE RAIN, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE HAS JUST RECEVED BAD NEWS, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF YOU ARE WATCHING TV WITH SOMEONE AND THERE IS AN ADBREAK, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELF TEA, OFFER TO MAKE EVERYONE ELSE TEA. IF SOMEONE IS NOT CURRENTLY HOLDING A MUG OF TEA, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL STATE OF AFFAIRS, AND THEY DO NOT, IN FACT, WANT A CUP OF TEA. TEA E IN FROM THE R SOMEOE S AORTO AND THERE TEA

theaccidentfactory Follow I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby theaccidentfactory English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user.

The Indian custom sounds stupid. There are very few things in life that I hate more than overly insisting hosts.

Regarding the British, they have an actual thing that when a popular TV programme goes on a commercial break, there are huge simultaneous nationwide power surges, because everyone takes the advantage of the commercial break to go to their kitchen and turn the kettle on. So yeah, they love tea (or hot drinks in general anyway).
